Avid time-piece collector, founder and chief executive of Perpétuel, Hamdan Al Hudaidi, is now the owner of a bespoke 38mm time-piece, a creation by one of Britain’s leading watchmakers, Roger W. Smith. A creation that marks the first of its kind, pays homage to the Middle East with Hindu Arabic numerals on the dial complimented by a platinum case and a movement that is embellished with yellow gold.

Hamdan Al Hudaidi, Founder & Chief Executive of Perpétuel: ‘This is without a doubt one of the most special pieces I have ever owned. All you have to do to understand Roger as a horologist is take a look at this time-piece, it is perfect in every respect. I believe this is a prime example of the collaborations and stories of unique independent watchmakers that Perpétuel will be bringing to its members both regionally and internationally’.

 

The mulberry shaded hands work in flawless harmony with a deep brown, semi crocodile leather strap and the rear of the case boasts a date tree engraving, an idea of Roger’s himself, with Hamdan specifically in mind and again showing his admiration for the Gulf region. Perpétuel continues to strive to curate experiences for collectors that allows them to interact with watchmakers and give them the chance to experience the most unique pieces the world of horology has to offer.
