Dubai Watch Week (DWW) has now entered its 7th Edition. From its humble beginning as a regional event, it has morphed into a preeminent global event. It is an initiative of Ahmed Seddiqi – one of the most important watch and jewellery retailers and horology platforms in the world. They are celebrating their milestone 75th anniversary this year – thereby making this edition of DWW even more special.
“From 19–23 November 2025, Burj Park will transform into a five-day celebration of creativity, culture, and taste. What began as a platform for watch enthusiasts has evolved into one of Dubai’s most dynamic cultural festivals open to everyone, free to attend, and brimming with experiences that go far beyond timepieces.”
DWW will include “immersive installations, live art performances, design-driven masterclasses, and collaborations between some of the world’s most respected watchmakers, artists, and chefs.” Few of them include:
The Time Weaver – “a live art performance by calligrapher Hazem Kurdali blending movement, fashion, and Arabic calligraphy.”
Gastronomic pop-ups – “H. Moser & Cie x Home Bakery, Oris x M’oishî, TWST x Vyntage Horology, plus homegrown favourites like SheBurger and Kokoro Hand Roll Bar creating exclusive dishes.”
Art and Exhibitions –“Emirati photographer Alia Bent Sultan’s “Dubai Races Against Time.”
Hands-on sessions – “from lume painting to crafting your own silver pendant, designed to make the artistry behind watchmaking tangible and fun.”
