Swiss watchmaker Aramedes presented the Mecca Collection, a line of innovative timepieces that incorporate functions that support Muslims in observing the key practices of the religion. In order to practice the Islamic faith, one must know the direction to Mecca (Qibla), the daily prayer times (Salah), and the fasting times during Ramadan (Sawm).
“The Aramedes Mecca Collection is a first; having been in the watch industry for over
25 years, it struck me that no premium timepiece with Islamic indicators exist. Following close consultation with many practising Muslims and immense research into the tech that would make these functions possible in a mechanical watch with classic design, the Mecca Collection was brought to life. I am pleased to say it has been met with immense enthusiasm since its recent launch,” said Tom Morf, Co-Founder & CEO of Aramedes.
The Mecca Collection comprises four models in stainless steel cases with some models offered in bronze and platinum.
