Born in the heart of the Garden City.
In the heart of Al Ain — the city of oases and history — the idea for this watch was born to embody the authenticity of place and the spirit of Emirati identity. The design pairs simplicity with elegance, drawn from the city's quiet and its deep-rooted heritage, and carries Arabic numerals that read tradition in a contemporary hand. It isn't just a watch: it's the story of a city that earned the title 'Garden City' and became a symbol of Emirati authenticity and culture. Fifty pieces worldwide — each rare, each distinct — made for collectors and for those who love Al Ain.
Scroll closer.
Violet in sunlight. Black at dusk.
A vertical-brush sunburst dial catches light in stripes — full jacaranda violet from above, deep aubergine from the side, near-black when the sun drops. The colour shifts the way the bloom does, hour by hour.
Eastern Arabic numerals, hand-applied.
Silver Eastern Arabic indices — ١, ٢, ٣ — sit raised on the violet field, the way Kufic inscriptions stand off old walls. A small refusal of Western default. A quiet anchor to where it was drawn.
Six millimetres. Octagonal bezel.
A 6 mm 316L case wears under any cuff. Brushed flats, polished bevels, integrated bracelet, hidden butterfly clasp. Architecturally restrained — so the bloom on the dial does the speaking.
Limited to 50. Yours, only.
A single release of 50 pieces, registered to one owner at a time. No re-issue. When the fifty are gone, they are gone.

The caseback plate — one of fifty. Italian design, all stainless steel, Japanese movement, 5 ATM. Signed before the case ever meets the strap.
Where the desert blooms violet.
Al Ain is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the UAE — five thousand years of oases, falaj irrigation, and date palms older than empires. In April, its jacaranda trees flower in a slow purple storm above the gardens of Al Jahili and Hili. This edition is our answer to that bloom: a single colour, restrained craftsmanship, and a signed caseback that travels with one owner only.

Founder-selected feedback.
A short selection of notes from early owners, shared with permission.
"The purple is exactly the colour of the trees on Sheikh Zayed Street in April. Stopped me when I opened the box."
Mansour H. · Al AinFits 17 cm wrist"Bought 17 / 50. The Eastern Arabic indices made me smile — it feels like ours, not a copy of something Swiss."
Reem A. · Abu DhabiFits 15 cm wrist"Slim enough to live under a shirt cuff, loud enough on the dial to start a conversation. Glad I got in before the bloom closed."

We grew up driving to Al Ain in April just to sit under the jacaranda. This watch is that drive, on a wrist.
