Swiss watchmaker Christophe Claret has opened a point of sale in Dubai, UAE – its first in the Middle East – under a collaboration with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.

The Kantharos, Maestoso, X-TREM-1 and Margot creations by Christophe Claret are now available at the Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons boutique located at The Dubai Mall. 

The watchmaker from Le Locle says it is “delighted” to be associated with this prestigious retailer, which has “consistently focused on highlighting the finest timepieces”. 

Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons is renowned for its expertise in haute horlogerie and for the quality of its advice. In close collaboration with the finest high-end brands, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons stores offer an exclusive range of rare timepieces.

The collaboration marks a significant milestone for Christophe Claret in consolidating its international reach. 

After Asia, the Americas and Europe, this new location will mark the brand’s commitment to establish a strong global market presence. It significantly also represents the first Christophe Claret point of sale in the UAE.

Active for 25 years in developing and creating highly complex watch movements for prestigious Swiss watch brands, Christophe Claret is now a brand in its own right. 

It belongs to an exclusive group of independent watchmakers with the capacity to produce an haute horlogerie watch completely in- house, from the initial concept through to final adjustments.

Its exclusive timepieces are available in four collections: traditional complications, extreme complications, gaming complications and ladies’ complications. 

The brand’s timepieces constantly push the limits of mechanical watchmaking while remaining faithful to values that Christophe Claret has always held dear: innovation, perfection, passion, uniqueness and exclusivity. 

Christophe Claret launched two new timepieces presented this year: Aventicum, introduced in Geneva, pays homage to the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius thanks to an ingenious optical effect, the mirascope; and Allegro, launched at Baselworld, combines the most beautiful of all horological complications, the minute repeater, with a series of useful functions.
