Mouawad’s heritage of crafting the extraordinary ‘for him’

Blazingly brilliant, the limited-edition Mouawad Grande Ellipse Galaxy is a timepiece that unites Mouawad’s Swiss watchmaking heritage with its tradition of crafting the extraordinary for gentlemen of distinction.

The remarkable Grande Ellipse Galaxy watches feature a double-barrel tourbillon movement, hand-wound with a retrograde date indicator and a 120-hour power reserve. Available in 18-karat white gold, the Grande Ellipse Galaxy collection encompasses models that are fully studded with diamonds or diamonds and rubies – giving the essence of traditional Swiss watchmaking a luxurious incarnation where precious gems and impeccable timekeeping blend in one.

The Mouawad watchmaking heritage has its roots in the very beginning of the House’s history, when first generation Daoud Mouawad acquired the craft of watchmaker, goldsmith, and jeweler, and gained renown for creating magnificent and intricate clocks for prestigious clients. Every generation since then has enhanced this legacy, with second generation Fayez Mouawad being one of the earliest jewelers in Saudi Arabia to embellish watches with precious stones, fashioning outstanding pieces and unique creations for kings and the aristocracy, often commemorating exceptional state events. Third generation Robert Mouawad selected Geneva, Switzerland as the company’s base in the 1970s, then acquired Swiss workshops from where timepieces began to be handcrafted in limited numbers, under the name Robergé – an amalgamation of Robert and Geneva. Under the fourth-generation co-guardianship of Fred, Alain and Pascal Mouawad, the three brothers have built on a living legacy and launched the Grande Ellipse watch collections, leveraging the House’s Swiss watchmaking expertise, along with the company’s complete vertical integration as a diamond manufacturer and its passion for crafting the extraordinary.

With the same exacting attention to detail, Mouawad accessories for men attest to Mouawad’s passion for crafting the extraordinary. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds are among the outstanding gems that are hand-set in precious metals to create unforgettable cufflinks, prayer beads, rings, pens, and more. As uniquely distinct as the Grande Ellipse watches, Mouawad accessories are the ultimate complement to every gentleman of distinction’s extraordinary lifestyle.
