In about three weeks, we will be seeing leading and independent watch brands from around the world come together under one roof (or park) for Dubai Watch Week. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this season’s event will be its most expansive yet, hosting over 90 brands. If this is the first time hearing about the horological event, don’t worry as we have put together all you need to know going into Dubai Watch Week.
For starters, mark your calendars for November 19–23, as that is when the 2025 edition will take place. And as for where, the event will be held at Burj Park near the Dubai Mall. The venue itself will be at a whopping 200,000 sq. ft space, Dubai Watch Week’s largest yet, marking its growth over the decade.
Launched in 2015 by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, it was a way to bring together fans and industry experts to discuss all things wrist candy. Now, organised under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the biennial event has become a space for education, exploration, and entertainment.
This year, we will see over 90 brands feature their collections, with some even presenting exclusive launches. Whereas the agenda will include over 50 panels, talks, and workshops, with a keynote from Rolex CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour alongside Abdul Hamied Seddiqi.
The rest is set to be equally as exciting, with discussions on design, the art of watchmaking, and more. For those looking to get their hands on the clock, the workshops provided will help guests learn directly from expert watchmakers and artisans, possibly even getting a memento to take home.
Now that you know what to expect, just remember that entry is free and open for all, but prior registration is required. To register, visit dubaiwatchweek.com.
