About the Founder

A lifelong watch obsession, built into a Dubai house.

Born and raised in the UAE, three decades spent here, and a love for mechanical timepieces that started long before this was ever a business.

My Story

From a Swatch at eleven to a curated vault in Dubai.

I was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates and have called this country home for the last 31 years. My obsession with watches began when I was eleven — my father came home one evening and handed me my first Swatch. It wasn't expensive, it wasn't rare, but the way it ticked on my wrist completely changed how I saw the world.

Since that day I haven't stopped studying timepieces. I spent my teenage years reading catalogues, my twenties tracking auction results, and the last decade building relationships with collectors, dealers and serious clients across the region. What started as a personal collection slowly turned into something bigger — friends asking me to find pieces, then friends of friends, then collectors I'd never met.

Today, Gulf Wrist Dubai is the natural extension of that journey. We focus on four houses — Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille and Tudor — because they are the brands I know inside out and the ones our clients ask for most. Every watch we touch is authenticated, every conversation is personal, and every transaction is handled with the same care I'd want for my own collection.

Whether you're buying your first serious watch, selling something you've outgrown, consigning a rare piece, or hunting a reference you can't find anywhere — you'll deal directly with someone who genuinely loves this craft.
