Dubai Watch Week (DWW) returns for its third edition in November 2017, under the patronage of Sheikha Latifa bint Mohamed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, vice chairman of Dubai Culture & Arts Authority.
Organised by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons in partnership with the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH), Dubai Watch Week will once again host key industry spokespeople and leading horological personalities during the five-day cultural and educational event.
DWW’s objective is to educate the public on the skills and knowledge of mechanical watchmaking as well as raise awareness surrounding some of the watch industry challenges.
The event has been recognised as a significant meeting point for the watch industry as it creates an intimate platform for collectors, brands, watchmakers and the members of the media to interact and share knowledge.
DWW is a non-commercial event that will continuously foster the interests of its regional watch community by promoting Dubai as a platform for horological enthusiasts and experts.
