Dubai Watch Week

The Special Jury Prize holds a unique place in the CH24 Watch of the Year awards, celebrating an event, brand or individual whose efforts have helped promote watchmaking and foster enthusiasm for the craft. The industry calendar may be crowded, but no other gathering rivals Dubai Watch Week in stature and ambition while preserving its open, informal and non-commercial character. Since its launch in 2015, it has brought leading watch brands to Dubai alongside collectors, customers and enthusiasts eager to explore every aspect of horology. The programme ranges from exhibitions featuring a wide variety of watchmakers to discussions with some of the field’s most influential figures, practical workshops and numerous related events. Behind Dubai Watch Week is Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, a leading distributor of watches and jewellery in the Middle East and a member of Seddiqi Holding.
