Marking a departure from the brand’s traditional vertical regulator design, the Strike Two series introduces a horizontal regulator layout—a bold evolution that retains the brand's iconic identity.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Tora watch of the 1990s, Chronoswiss now presents the latest addition to the Strike Two collection: the Terra Limited Edition. As its name suggests, this model channels the allure of Earth’s terrains, showcased in its stunningly textured dial.

News Dubai Mall: The Upcoming Venue for Dubai Watch Week 2025

Hind Seddiqi Announces a New Venue and Promises a Larger, More Dynamic Event for the 2025 Edition

While delivering the opening speech at the Horology Forum currently being held in Hong Kong, Hind Seddiqi Director General of Dubai Watch Week shared some important updates about the 7th edition of Dubai Watch Week, starting with the dates — the event will run from the 19th of November to the 23rd of November, and will excitingly, be held in a new location. In 2025 Dubai Watch Week will take place at Dubai Mall, Burj Park welcoming returning guests and new visitors in the shadow of the iconic Burj Khalifa. 

Of course, while the location is new, the goals remain the same. The event will still be dedicated to providing a pioneering programme of engaging and innovative events and experiences, as well as creating initiatives that give back to the industry and help foster the next generation of watchmakers and brands. The good news is that in 2025, there will be plenty of space for the event to grow, with the event doubling its footprint to approximately 200,000 square feet, allowing for more brands, more guests and more opportunities.

But before Hind Seddiqi explored the future of Dubai Watch Week, she took some time to reflect on past achievements. Over the years, the event has played host to around 60,000 guests, including representatives of over 100 media titles. Across six editions of Dubai Watch Week and more Horology Forum events, there have been an incredible 900-plus programmed events and more than 270 speakers and moderators — with many memorable moments of industry insight, as well as innovative experiential offerings over the years. In addition to this, the event has served to launch over 50 exclusive watch launches from dozens of brands.
