Vyntage Horology, a brand new independent watch brand launched during Dubai Watch Week 2023, marks the Seddiqi family’s bold stride into the creation of luxury timepieces, and draws from the family’s unique outlook and vast experience in the industry.
Vyntage Horology presents exclusive collections crafted as a tribute to the discerning connoisseur who appreciates the craftsmanship that transcends the ordinary. It caters to the growing demand for independent watches featuring timeless grace with a twist and Swiss hand-finished movements.
“Vyntage Horology is a labour of love. It is a venture that is fuelled by our family’s dedication and passion towards horological excellence, and through it, we are committed to preserving and enhancing our timeless legacy. The launch of Vyntage Horology further expands our offering and underscores our ongoing commitment to elevate the region’s status as a destination for horology and luxury,” Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, Chief Commercial Officer, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
Building on the concept launched during Dubai Watch Week 2021, Vyntage Horology launched its first two collections this year – Monograph and Purity. To commemorate the launch of the brand, two Inner Circle models were introduced – one each for the two collections.
The opulent limited-edition of 25 timepieces are set apart with their exquisite craftsmanship, making them true collectors’ items. The Inner Circle models feature Grand Feu Enamel dials, one of the oldest and most traditional techniques in watchmaking. The timepieces are encased in high-quality titanium, and come with leather straps crafted from camel leather, as an ode to the heritage and culture of the region.
Monograph Inner Circle, a 40mm timepiece, features carefully hand-applied Breguet numerals on the enamel dial, and an equally remarkable crystal flat sapphire case back, both with anti-reflective treatment on the inside. The choice of blue for the dial colour is inspired by the desert sky at midnight, adding a touch of allure to the timepieces.
The Purity Inner Circle watch, a 39mm timepiece that is both durable and elegant, features a unique crown placement at 4 o’clock off-centre seconds hand. The striking white Enamel dial adorned with hand-applied Breguet numerals, coupled with Swiss-made precision, ensures both sophistication and reliability, all encased in a distinctive case.
Vyntage Horology also includes two other watches that are part of the Monograph and Purity collections at this year’s edition: Light Blue and Silver.
The Monograph Light Blue features a 40mm stainless steel case and boasts a brushed light blue dial adorned with silver hand-applied Hindi numerals. Limited to 25 pieces, the piece is powered by a Swiss-made manual winding movement with a mono-pusher chronograph.
The Purity Silver watch marries elegance with precision in a 39mm stainless steel case with distinctive crown placement at 4 o’clock and off-centre seconds hand. Limited to 50 pieces, it features silvered hand-applied Roman indexes on the brushed dial and Swiss-made manual winding movement offering a perfect blend of sophistication and accuracy.
Vyntage Horology’s inaugural collections will be on display at Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons boutique in Dubai Mall.
