“The desire to become more familiar with watchmaking rum in the Middle East continues to grow exponentially, and over the past few decades, this industry has become key to our foreign market,” said Abdul Hamid Seddiki, vice chairman of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. - Dubai Watch Week will become the main educational platform, a place for discussions and acquaintance with the most modern and exclusive watches in the world.
