The lounge will also showcase a range of unique limited editions made by watchmakers in collaboration with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons to commemorate the UAE’s 50th anniversary.
“This year’s event will be the most engaging edition yet as we continue to transform and drive forward innovation within the watch industry. We look forward to reuniting for a moment in time with our local and global community as we celebrate our fifth edition alongside the UAE’s golden jubilee. We look forward to hosting everyone onsite – from collectors to curious residents to the youth – who can all get involved with the exciting programme,” says Hind Seddiqi, director general of Dubai Watch Week.
“Our objective is to create an educational, experiential, and networking event like no other, one that we too continue to learn from. Dubai Watch Week is an unprecedented and inclusive experience, influencing the evolution of the global watch industry in a city that prioritises culture and innovation,” she adds.
Dubai Watch Week takes place from November 24 to 28. The event takes place during Dubai’s hosting of the Expo 2020 world fair. The United Arab Emirates is open to travel and welcoming visitors with open arms.
