The Expo Centre Sharjah has announced that the 50th edition of the Watch & Jewellery Middle East Show (WJMES) will witness the biggest participation ever, with more than 400 exhibitors taking part in the Golden Jubilee edition.

 

Along with several local businesses and a number of Emirati designers, the event is set to draw famous international brands and companies specialised in designing and manufacturing watches and goldware.

 

Organised by the Expo Centre with the support of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), the show will run from October 5 to 9, 2022.

 

New countries from Latin America and Africa will also take part in the five-day event, which will also see the presence of national pavilions for a number of top countries in the watch and jewelry industry, most notably India, with 61 companies, and Italy, with 46 exhibitors.

 

Visitors are promised a one-of-a-kind experience in the world of gold and jewellery that allows them to discover the most opulent and exclusive designs, the latest products and fashion lines of jewelry and precious stones, pearls, and luxury watches.

 

Abdullah Sultan Al Owais, Chairman of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) and Expo Centre Sharjah, stressed that the show has achieved remarkable milestones over the past 30 years, something which reflects the robust activity and rapid growth seen by Sharjah’s exhibition and conference sector.
