The Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition is not your average watch fair. This six-day salon features 500 local and international watch and jewelry brands in a 33,000 m2 space. The exhibition attracts over 30,000 visitors from 175 countries who come to look, discover, and purchase luxury items. The fair has a unique approach to presenting watches, with retailers dividing the pavilions, allowing for individual brand design codes to shine. This article explores the highlights of the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition 2023.
A Different Kind of Watch Fair:
The Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition is not just another watch fair. Unlike European watch fairs that focus on business-to-business affairs, the Doha exhibition caters to the end customer. Visitors can leave the show with a smile on their face and a luxury shopping bag swinging in the breeze.
Retailer-Divided Pavilions:
The four main retail groups in the region run the four pavilions, each with a unique architectural design. Individual brand design codes are clear, making it easy for visitors to navigate the exhibition. From Rolex and Patek Philippe to Bulgari and Cartier, there is no mistaking where you are shopping.
Unique Watch Brands and Personalities:
The Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition features unique watch brands and personalities. Brands like Bovet and Louis Moinet are making their first appearance at the fair, sharing their stories and engaging with collectors. It is a pleasure to meet all the collectors and share the story behind each brand.
The exhibition has several new features for 2023. The organisers have installed a television studio to host round table discussions, which are streamed on YouTube for those unable to visit the fair. Visitors at the event can also have their jewelry examined by the internationally certified institute, IDT Gemological Laboratories, as part of DJWE’s collaboration with Al Darwish Jewellery. Additionally, Phillips in association with Bacs & Russo has a stand with select watches from their upcoming auctions.
The Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition is a unique and unforgettable experience. With an impressive range of local and international brands, visitors can discover new designs, engage with brand personalities and take home unique pieces. The exhibition’s new features make it a must-visit for anyone interested in jewelry and watches.
