The inauguration ceremony saw the unveiling, and Middle East premiere, of the very limited "165 Years - Homage to F. A.

The captivating exhibition features four fascinating educational zones. The first is 'The History of A.

The second outlines 'The Six Steps in Precision Watchmaking' and offers outstanding insights into the world of haute horology specific to the brand. In the third zone 'Craftsmanship in Luxury Watchmaking', there is a live expert demonstration of the intricate art of engraving, whilst the last zone, 'Making of the Trilogy', is a tribute to the awe-inspiring "165 Years - Homage to F.

This region truly appreciates the splendour of fine watchmaking and it is an honour to be collaborating on such an event with our long-term and esteemed partner, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. Not only is this exhibition an incredible opportunity to share our passion with the public, but also to offer visitors an enlightening insight into our continuous quest for perfection, true craftsmanship, and very exclusive luxury watchmaking ," added Mr. Dupont.
