L’Artisan Calligraphy (AZ x Jassim Alnasrallah)

L’Artisan Abarak Al-Sa‘at 

Dear friends,

Some projects come together as watches.
Others become quiet conversations between craft, culture, and time itself.

Over the past months, I have been working on a very special pair of pieces, a twin release built around one of the most meticulous mother-of-pearl mosaics we have ever produced at L’Artisan.

A Dialogue in Time

Designed by AZ in collaboration with renowned Gulf calligrapher Jassim Alnasarallah, the piece gives form to a phrase whose weight transcends words.

At the heart of the dial appears the Arabic expression:

“Abarak Al-Sa‘at” — The Most Blessed of Hours

A phrase deeply rooted in the Gulf’s collective memory, once spoken in an era shaped by the sea and the pearl.

A Rare Mother-of-Pearl Mosaic

For this edition, we developed an exceptionally detailed two-tone mother-of-pearl mosaic a technique rarely seen due to the difficulty of execution.

Each dial is built from carefully arranged natural MOP segments that form a living surface where light continuously shifts across the watch.

Two complementary executions are offered:

• Edition I: White mother-of-pearl outer ring with deep blue mother-of-pearl center

• Edition II: Deep blue mother-of-pearl outer ring with white mother-of-pearl center

The result is subtle yet captivating a dial that reveals itself slowly rather than demanding attention.

Mother-of-pearl was chosen deliberately. As mother of pearl marks the beginning of the gulf states. 

Living Calligraphy

The mosaic construction allows light to travel across the surface, creating gentle reflections and quiet shadows that preserve the clarity of the calligraphy from every angle.

The phrase does not simply sit on the dial it unfolds as the watch moves.

Strictly Limited

To protect the depth and integrity of the piece, production remains intentionally restrained:

• Limited to 10 pieces total

• 5 pieces per colour configuration

• Individually numbered

• This edition will not be repeated

A deliberate choice ensuring that what is precious remains rare.
