The Rashid Centre, a humanitarian organisation that provides quality education, therapy and other services to children with Special Needs together with luxury Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons organised the exhibition.
The exhibition was themed "interpretations of time" and the paintings were created by young children with special needs including Amal, Aliya, Rebecca, Khalid, Najat, Kawkab, Saad, Mahek, Khuzaymat and Batool.
The paintings threw light on the students' inventive gifts in art as both art and watch connoisseurs appreciated the children's work.
The Baume & Mercier Swiss watchmaking house in a joint venture with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons used the occasion to announce the launch of the Classima Executives Dubai limited edition watch in 150 pieces only. A significant percentage of the proceeds from the sales of these watches will be donated to the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre.
