BEDA'a Watches – ECLIPSE II Jump Hour Aventurine Edition

BEDA'a WatchesECLIPSE II Jump Hour Aventurine Dial Edition 2025

 Welcome to the creative world of Beda'a
Eclipse II A Celestial Evolution by Beda’a

Since 2016, Beda’a has been a name to watch among collectors. Initially part of the Qatari luxury group Albidaa, the brand gained independence in response to growing demand.

Today, it stands as a fully-fledged watchmaking house with proprietary collections and a fiercely independent creative vision

Key Takeaways:

· The next chapter for Beda’a marks its ascension as a true independent watchmaking force.
· A new addition to the Eclipse collection—following the Eclipse I's spectacular sell-out of 200 pieces in three hours.
· A refined design, featuring quality finishing and a custom module by Dubois Dépraz.
· Limited to 100 timepieces per year.
· Priced fairly, offering collectors quality craftsmanship at exceptional value.

Beda'a was born from the vision of Qatari entrepreneur Hader Al Suwaidi, who aimed to create a horological brand that would position the Arab region not just as a market for fine watches, but as a contributor to the global watchmaking industry. Serendipity played a role in making this vision become reality: with the recruitment of engineer-designer Sohaib Maghnam – whose passion defies convention – to shape the brand’s trajectory. Entrepreneurial and cosmopolitan, Sohaib moves seamlessly between the watchmaking capitals of Switzerland, London, Milan, and Doha—yet his journey into horology was anything but ordinary…

Fluent in Arabic and English, Sohaib obtained his Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in the UK. Still in his early 20s, he moved to Milan for a two-year Master’s program. There, immersed in the city’s rich design culture, he had his horological epiphany.

London was where I first became acquainted with the big names in watchmaking and where my passion began to take shape. A few years later, I left for Milan, where I discovered a thriving watch community. All my connections in horology trace back to there, thanks in no small part to Jacopo Corvo of a renowned retailer there called GMT. He sent my first sketches to key figures in the industry and introduced me to a lot of the right people. London introduced me to watchmaking, but Milan truly shaped my career.”

Sohaib began developing, making and selling his first models under his own name, Maghnam Watches – a growing brand that still exists today as his personal creative sandbox, unbound by conventional watchmaking norms.

Not one fortuitous call, but two

Just weeks before leaving Milan, his Master’s degree in his pocket, Sohaib received a call from Qatar. It was Hader Al Suwaidi, the president of luxury group Albidaa, who wanted to purchase one of his Maghnam watches. A few days later, he called again – this time, with an offer to head the group’s watch division. Albidaa was in the early stages of establishing a fully independent watch brand as part of its portfolio of luxury companies. It was the beginning of Beda’a –and Sohaib had the perfect profile.

“It was a complete surprise—yet also an incredible opportunity. I would be designing, building a team, managing suppliers, sales, and marketing, while building a team and a brand. It was a chance I couldn’t pass up. A few months later, I left for Doha to begin the Beda’a adventure—and never looked back,” Sohaib recalls.

Once in Doha as CEO of Beda’a, Sohaib’s unique skill set quickly proved invaluable. While he had spent nearly sevenyears in Europe, he remained deeply rooted in Arab culture and language. An engineer by training, he had already honed his expertise in watch design and construction while steadily building a network of clients, partners, and suppliers — all driven by a crystal-clear vision for contemporary watchmaking. At just 27, he was a rare figure in the watch industry, and under his leadership, Beda’a came into its own. Today, two years later, he is the company’s CEO and Chief Designer

A Brand on the Rise

Maintaining the momentum, Beda’a quickly established itself, winning over new clients and taking part in major exhibitions: Watches and Wonders, Geneva Watch Days, Wind Up Watch Fair (NYC), and The Horology Club anniversary  (HK). The watch collections take shape, forming the brand’s four foundational pillars: Attrayant, assertive and elegant; Fortress, with its Art Deco accents; Angles, the unclassifiable best-seller whose limited New York series sold out in hours; and, finally, as the ultimate statement – Eclipse.

Eclipse is the most elemental of Beda’a creations, as it is the only round watch in Sohaib Maghnam’s prolific portfolio at Beda’a. It is also the most ambitious, as it enters the fiercely competitive realm of fine Swiss Made watchmaking. Yet, he succeeds in capturing the two key elements that are of compelling appeal to true collectors: an unconventional hours-and-minutes display and a price that is uncompromisingly fair.

Eclipse II : An Astral Revelation

When the first Eclipse debuted, all 200 pieces vanished in a mere three hours – with thousands still on the waiting list. Their patience is now rewarded with an unprecedented creation, an evolution tellingly named Eclipse II.

At its heart beats a movement with a specifically designed module that uniquely embodies the spirit of Beda’a, marking a watershed moment for the fledgling Maison. Eclipse II opens the second chapter, deepening the celestial narrative: a horological tribute to the cosmos that reminds us that timekeeping was born from humanity’s fascination with the stars.

Design remains paramount. The timepiece orchestrates a perfect dialogue between linear precision and orbital grace.

A singular vertical axis connects three elements: the off-center hours and minutes at twelve, an independent small seconds display, and a crown positioned at six o’clock – a bold departure from convention in Haute Horlogerie, yet intrinsic to the commitment of Beda’a to pure alignment.

Within the round case – itself a departure for a house known for its shaped collections – two seamlessly integrated dials form a majestic figure-eight. Symmetrical crescents, finished with a distinctive linear motif, challenge Swiss tradition.  

The dial itself becomes a celestial canvas:

  •     Polished and satin-finished cream motifs capture sunlight in motion;
  •     Aventurine hour and minute counters mirror a star-strewn night sky; and
  •     The spear-shaped small seconds hand at 6 o’clock, gliding over a deeply textured circular satin counter, evokes the windswept sands of Qatar’s majestic deserts.

The dreamlike vastness of Doha’s great deserts is never far...  

More than a timepiece, Eclipse II is Beda’a’s vision of time itself: precise yet poetic, technical yet transcendent. It doesn’t just tell time; it tells a story...

Beda’a – The First Complication

Heeding collectors’ voices, Beda’a has enhanced the technical value of Eclipse II, while carefully avoiding the price inflation often seen in haute horlogerie.

As Sohaib Maghnam emphasizes, “The price is exactly where it should be. No less, but certainly no more.”

The Eclipse II movement combines two variables to find the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, between accessibility and exclusivity.

First, there’s a Sellita SW300 foundation. It is a proven caliber that Beda’a knows well – it was already present in Eclipse I.

For this second chapter, Beda’a adds a module developed with specialist workshop Dubois Depraz. The family business, famed for its complications, was born in 1901 in the Vallée de Joux. It possesses an undeniable historical legitimacy, coupled with unparalleled technical expertise. It is they who enabled Beda’a to design an Eclipse II of only 37 mm in diameter, perfectly balanced by a thickness under 10 mm (9.5 mm precisely).

A Celestial Rotor

The celestial theme extends to the openworked rotor, a rarity in itself.

· Eight three-dimensional blades, satin-finished in a radiant motif;

· Each engraved at its center with Beda’a’s stylized “B”; with

· Each polished emblem set against a laser-sandblasted background, echoing the refined alternations seen on the steel case.


Here, Beda’a has designed an openworked rotor of rare sophistication.
 

Limited Production, Accessible Excellence

 The Beda’a Eclipse II is not a limited edition, but production is capped at 100 pieces per year, ensuring exclusivity while keeping pricing fair.

BREMONT – ALTITUDE Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-Pusher Titanium Edition


BREMONTALTITUDE Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-Pusher Titanium 42mm Edition - 2025

BREMONT CROWNS THE ALTITUDE COLLECTION WITH THE GROUNDBREAKING

With the launch of the Altitude Collection, evolved from its celebrated MB aviation watches, Bremont is cementing it’s mission to craft the finest timepieces for Air, Land and Sea, mixing modern British elegance with durability, and style.

At the pinnacle of the collection stands the Altitude Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-pusher. Limited to 50 pieces, cased in lightweight titanium, both dials and case-barrels in evocative ‘Air Force Blue’, adding the enduring finesse of high horology to the Altitude family’s rugged, MB-inspired DNA.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Built for those who demand refinement, resilience and practicality, the Altitude Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-pusher unites two legendary complications in one supremely robust, perfectly engineered timepiece, with a complication module exclusively devised by Agenhor, the celebrated Geneva atelier.

PERPETUAL PERFORMANCE

Bremont’s design team faced a key challenge: integrating a Perpetual Calendar with a GMT without compromising the Altitude Collection’s aviation-inspired sportiness, everyday usability, and visual clarity. Their solution was an ingeniously efficient display, which presents complex information with exceptional readability, while preserving the distinctive design language and durability of the Altitude range.

The 42mm case, made of lightweight grade 2 titanium, features the collection’s signature three-piece Trip-Tick case construction.

For the GMT, a domed disc at 12 o’clock with a globe decoration – echoing that previously seen in 2024’s Terra Nova Dual-Time Tourbillon – provides the second time-zone indication: as the globe turns, an arrow indicates the home time against a 24-hour index that’s divided into day and night sections. Adjusting this is straightforward: a mono-pusher integrated into the crown allows the wearer to advance the arrow in one-hour increments. A corrector at 2 o’clock allows you to set the date, whilst a corrector positioned at 4 o’clock allows you to set the leap year and month.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

At 9 o’clock, running seconds is displayed with a two-blade ‘propeller’ hand, on a sector-style subdial with Bremont’s Wayfinder logo at its centre. The perpetual calendar’s indications – date, month and position in the leap year cycle – are presented on the other two subdials, at 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock respectively. At 6 o’clock, a pointer indicates the date on a circumferential index. At the 3 o’clock position, a beautifully intuitive month/year indication uses a four-blade propeller-style hand, with three white-tipped blades and one red-tipped blade.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The subdial is divided into four sectors, each representing a year in the leap cycle, while the first sector also includes markings for the 12 months. The red-tipped blade denotes the current position in the four-year cycle, while the month is shown by whichever of the four blades is passing through the first sector at any given time. The propeller’s movement is imperceptible, advancing in 172 micro-jumps across the four-year cycle – a shift of just under 2.1 degrees every eight days.

ENGINEERED FOR ADVENTURE

To realise this dynamic and highly unusual combination, Bremont worked with Agenhor, one of Switzerland’s most lauded horological ateliers; and with Sellita, a leading movement manufacturer.

Founded in 1996 by horological visionary Jean-Marc Wiederrecht and now led by his sons, Laurent and Nicolas, Agenhor has earned numerous accolades for its groundbreaking innovations, featured in timepieces from esteemed brands such as MB&F, H. Moser & Cie, and Hermes.

Exclusively for Bremont, Agenhor has devised a slim and highly economical module integrating the perpetual calendar and GMT functions, which offers ease in operation, whilst meeting the Altitude Collection’s stringent requirements for endurance and dependability.

“The combination of a perpetual calendar and GMT function is extremely rare in watchmaking, but for Bremont it gives us the perfect mix of classical sophistication and adventurousness. We love the idea that it’s quite unusual but also really useful,” says Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato. “But it had to be as robust as any of the Altitude watches, easy to use, and present a durable, sporty execution of a Perpetual Calendar GMT – it’s intended as an everyday watch, not a delicate item that lives in the safe. That was our brief to Agenhor, who I think are amongst the best specialists working in Switzerland today.”

At the heart of the watch is a manually wound base calibre from Sellita, the AMT6900. This is crafted within Sellita’s top-tier, custom-build AMT (Atelier Manufacture Technique) programme, and designed to the highest standards of precision and finishing. The baseplate and bridges, designed with graceful symmetry, display a ‘soleillage courbe’ – or curved sunray – finish, contrasting with polished screw-heads and wheels that combine snailed and polished finishing. The Bremont ‘Wayfinder’ logo is laser engraved on the ratchet wheel. The entire mechanism, consisting of both the base movement and the complication module, stands at just 6.8mm thick, keeping the entire watch to a highly wearable 12.65mm thick. Finally, the movement features a Côte de Genève finish and an engraved Bremont logo with a ruthenium treatment.

Thanks to its fine engineering, the Altitude Perpetual Calendar GMT Mono-pusher delivers a power reserve of 50 hours. This ensures the unwavering performance of a complex wristwatch conceived to endure decades – if not centuries – of usage.

AERIAL ELEGANCE

The Altitude Perpetual GMT combines this innovative functionality with true elegance, following the aviation-inspired design codes of the Altitude Collection. The dial is in ‘Air Force Blue’ – also known in Italy as ‘blu aviazione’ – a richly nuanced shade long associated with aviation, and inspired by the blue-grey uniforms of Britain’s Royal Air Force.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This has been given a smart vertically brushed finish, reminiscent of mid-Century vintage watches, which provides a rich contrast with the black tonality of the chapter ring and date sub-dial. The Air Force Blue is repeated in the brushed PVD coating of the centre barrel of the Trip-Tick case, standing out from the titanium top and bottom sections.

ALTITUDE

As a watch designed for everyday wear, both comfort and ease of operation are critical factors. Along with the crown-based mono-pusher for adjusting the GMT, recessed correctors at 2 and 4 o’clock allow for effortless adjustments of the calendar functions while maintaining a streamlined case profile, without the need for more complex intervention.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

With only 50 pieces available, the Altitude Perpetual Calendar GMT introduces a dynamic and exciting new chapter in Bremont’s aviation lineage. Priced at £33,500, it delivers exceptional value in the realm of high complications, while offering rarity, ingenuity and masterful craftsmanship in a supremely wearable and accessible aviation tool watch.

FERDINAND BERTHOUD – Chronometre FB 3SPC Anniversary Edition


FERDINAND BERTHOUDChronomètre FB 3SPC Platinum Anniversary Edition Collection 2025

  TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF
CHRONOMÉTRIE FERDINAND BERTHOUD:
A NEW PLATINUM MODEL JOINS THE
EMBLEMATIC
FB 3 COLLECTION

Since 2015, on the initiative of Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud in the Val-de-Travers (Switzerland) has devoted itself to reviving one of the greatest names in watchmaking: Ferdinand Berthoud (1727-1807).

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Guided by the same quest for precision as the master horologist, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the Manufacture presents a very limited series of the Chronomètre FB 3SPC. Platinum makes its first appearance in this collection, whose mechanical movement with a cylindrical balance-spring is also attired in new pink or black PVD colours.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The philosophy driving Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud since the launch of its first collection in 2015 is far more than merely a tribute to the work of the eponymous master-watchmaker. It transposes into contemporary watchmaking language the quest for excellence and precision of the man who was appointed Master Clockmaker-Mechanic by appointment to the (French) King and Navy. No fewer than nine exclusive calibres and three collections have been presented since 2015: Chronomètre FB 1 with its now iconic octagonal case; the FB 2 collection whose case design reinterprets the shape of marine clocks; as well as the FB 3, which is inspired by the longitude watches designed by Ferdinand Berthoud. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

To mark the tenth anniversary of Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud, the iconic FB 3SPC collection with a cylindrical balance-spring has been enriched with a very limited edition of platinum timepieces that can also be set with precious stones.

The nobility of platinum

Making a platinum case as complex as that of the FB 3 collection demonstrates the Maison’s exceptional expertise. More than 30 hours of work are required to machine and finish this 57-part case. Polishing platinum is a particularly delicate operation, requiring more effort and patience than for other precious metals. Platinum is a very dense yet extremely malleable metal. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Only the most experienced polishers are able to achieve the desired brilliance meeting the Ferdinand Berthoud quality criteria. Unlike gold, platinum cannot be polished by pressing very hard on the metal with a polishing brush. Doing so creates waves or a dull haze on the surface, due to the molecular structure of this noble material whose inalterable nature makes it much sought after by discerning collectors.

A certified award-winning movement

The FB 3SPC collection is the only wristwatch with a variable-inertia balance and a cylindrical balance spring, chronometer-certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) and awarded the Chronometry prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) in 2023.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Its mechanical movement is based on a cylindrical balance-spring, an extremely rare horological speciality on which Ferdinand Berthoud himself had worked. It is the result of more than three years of research and development. Positioned at 9 o'clock, the three main escapement components – namely the balance, pallet-lever and escape-wheel – are individualised, distinct and proeminent. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This space dedicated to the regulating organ enables one to appreciate how it functions and to see the cylindrical balance-spring beating throughout the three days of the power reserve, including through a large water-resistant porthole in the case middle at 9 o'clock.

Two new movement colours

Thanks to its unique three-dimensional architecture with the mainplate positioned at the heart of the movement and the bridges framing it, Calibre FB-SPC is fully visible through the case-back as well as on the dial side. The way it is decorated thus determines the character of the timepiece, as do the two new pink and black PVD-treated versions – produced in 20-piece limited series – that are joining the FB 3 collection.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The FB 3SPC.3 model features a finely sandblasted salmon pink movement, a velvet-finished silver-toned brass inner bezel ring and dial, along with facetted and diamond-polished blue CVD-treated 18-carat gold hands. The regulating organ bridges visible at 9 o'clock are made of straight-grained natural nickel silver.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Meanwhile, Reference FB 3SPC.3-1 is equipped with a black PVD-treated sandblasted movement, a black-varnished inner bezel and dial, along with 18-carat white gold hands. To accentuate the intensity of the movement’s black hues, the regulating organ bridges and the barrel drum are treated with black rhodium, while the gear trains are white rhodium-treated.

Carefully chosen diamonds

Each of these two references will also be available in a diamond-set version, produced in a five-piece limited edition. Benefiting from Chopard’s expertise, the case, crown and buckle have been subtly reworked to accommodate diamonds of exceptional quality and cut. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Each stone is then set with the utmost care to obtain a particularly elegant setting of 77 diamonds totalling 4.02 carats: 48 baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, 10 on the pin buckle and 18 on the crown. The latter is also enhanced with a briolette-cut diamond.

A new folding clasp

Traditionally accompanied by a hand-sewn natural alligator leather strap and an 18 mm pin buckle, the FB 3SPC collection can now on request be equipped with a new 18 mm folding clasp. The latter features two blades, with a safety catch on the cap and a fine-adjustment mechanism enabling +/- 3 mm length modifications to fit the exact wrist size.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Already present on the folding clasps of the FB 1 and FB 2 collections, this mechanism equips the new version appearing with the Chronomètre FB 3SPC, whose design has been subtly reworked to adapt perfectly to the curve of the FB 3 case. This new clasp is available on request in 5N 18-carat rose gold or in 18-carat non-rhodium-treated white gold.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Through these new variations, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud reaffirms its desire to perpetuate the FB 3 collection, which requires the greatest watchmaking expertise, in order to produce and adjust around 30 chronometer-certified movements of this type each year.

This launch also marks the start of celebrations for Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2025.
