Every timepiece built from scratch — designed, machined and finished by one pair of hands. No factory. No shortcuts. Only strictly limited editions.
Watch the journey — from a workshop bench in Cairo to the pursuit of Egypt's first truly independent, handmade timepiece.
No factory behind me — every skill learned, every tool earned. Four chapters, in the order they happened.
A workshop built from nothing in Cairo — the lathe, the files, the first cuts of raw metal.
Chapter 01 · CairoCases, crowns and hands, shaped one at a time until they deserve the name.
Chapter 02 · The HandsSelf-taught turning, finishing and regulating — patience became the real craft.
Chapter 03 · The CraftThe first strictly limited edition takes shape at the bench — quietly, by hand.
Chapter 04 · The FirstWatch the build unfold, step by step — the reels and films worth following, in the order they happened.
Freddy Mounir is a study in patience. What most brands assemble, I make — turning raw metal into cases, hands and movements at the bench, one component at a time. It is the pursuit of becoming Egypt's first truly independent watchmaker, and every piece carries that story on the wrist.
Because each watch is made by a single pair of hands, only a handful will ever exist. Ownership is an invitation — to activate your warranty, to see your exact piece, and to join private events announced here and on Instagram.
Components cut, filed, polished and regulated by hand in the workshop.
Tiny numbered runs — each watch registered to its owner with a unique warranty ID.
Activate your warranty, view your piece, and RSVP to invitation-only gatherings.
Not assembled — finished. Cases cast by hand, hands skeletonised, and custom rotors turned in-house.
Cast in silver, gold, rose gold or copper — shaped at the bench.
Skeletonised, filed and polished until they catch the light.
Custom rotors turned in-house; movements finished by hand.
№1 is a strictly limited run — a handful of numbered pieces, made entirely by hand in Cairo. The design stays under wraps until it is ready; registered collectors will see it first.
