Beda’a dances with the sky

From Earth to Moon, Beda’a presents Angles Guichets, the first Angles with a complication: a 24‑hour aperture display, with day and night indicated by the passage of the Sun and the Moon. Poetic in intent yet precise in execution, the mechanism is manually wound and housed in a 37 mm case that evokes the rhythm of the universe.

 Angles Guichets retains the singular geometry that has defined the collection from the outset: an eight‑faceted case with integrated lugs, structured across three stepped levels, which has quickly become one of the most recognisable signatures of the new independent watchmaking scene.

The reception among collectors was immediate, with each limited series fully allocated within 24 hours.

Key takeaways

    • New permanent, non-limited line within the Angles collection
    • First Angles complication:
24-hour day-night aperture display with Sun and Moon
    • Two versions at launch: stainless steel and gold-plated stainless steel
    • Entirely reworked closed, embossed dial that follows the natural geometry of the case
    • Custom-designed leather strap; lining echoes the dial motif
    • Hand-wound Peseux/ETA
7001 calibre, prized by collectors, modified for 24-hour indication
    • The distinctive 37 mm diameter is preserved 
    • Ultra-slim profile of just
6.3 mm (Swiss development)  


In less than three years, the Angles collection has become a cornerstone of Beda’a’s watch offering. Collectors, enthusiasts and industry professionals alike recognise it as one of the more distinctive propositions to emerge from the independent watchmaking landscape in recent years.

Its octagonal case brings together straight lines and curves in a balanced architecture, paired with an integrated, interchangeable strap and Beda’a’s signature pin buckle.

Conceived as a dress watch, it reflects a personality closely aligned with that of Sohaib Maghnam — the independent, unorthodox creative force behind Beda’a

An exercise in style

The Angles Guichets pushes the Angles aesthetic further through one of the most demanding exercises in watch design: the aperture display.

Demanding because the usual visual markers of a watch — those that typically define its identity — vanish behind an almost entirely solid face: no central hands, no conventional dial, no counters, chapter ring or logo – only two arcs revealing the passage of time.

This deliberate restraint heightens the designer’s challenge, requiring personality to emerge through proportion, rhythm and detail, while remaining true to the Angles’ underlying design language.

On the Angles Guichets, this balance is achieved with apparent ease, with a poetry of its own. Sidestepping established conventions, Beda’a offers an alternative way of reading time. Sohaib Maghnam imagined a watch that reflects how its passage is perceived from Earth: on the wrist, at a glance, the Sun and the Moon appear to move across the sky before the wearer’s eyes. 

The discreet elegance of apertures

The upper aperture displays the hours on a fixed scale from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Sun then the Moon travel across the opening, indicating the passage of day and night. Their motion is slow, almost imperceptible, intimating a different relationship with time.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The Angles Guichets favours a slower pace — contemplation over precision — which is why the watch omits any seconds indication.

The lower aperture is dedicated to the minutes. Here, Beda’a introduces a characteristic inversion: as the minute disc advances, a fine arrow set flush with the dial marks the reading point, reinforcing clarity while maintaining visual restraint.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Both displays follow a principle of moderation, in line with the quiet luxury shaping contemporary watchmaking: minutes are shown in five-minute increments; hours appear as even numerals, separated by applied dot markers and framed by a subtle sector-style outline — a nod to classical codes. 

A landmark calibre    

On the movement side, Beda’a retains the hand-wound Peseux/ETA 7001 calibre, long cherished by collectors. Peseux is one of Switzerland’s established movement manufacturers, founded in 1923 in the eponymous town near Neuchâtel.

To allow the timekeeping narrative to unfold across 24 hours, Beda’a worked with a Swiss partner to modify the gear train so that it runs at half the usual speed — completing a full rotation in 24 hours instead of 12, while preserving a 42-hour power reserve. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The calibre’s celebrated slimness keeps the Angles Guichets to just 6.3 mm in thickness, giving the watch a balanced profile on any wrist. Both versions of the Angles Guichets — stainless steel and gold-plated stainless steel — now join the permanent, non-limited collection.

BEDA'a Watches – ECLIPSE Qatar Edition

BEDA'a WatchesECLIPSE Qatar Edition Arabic Jump Hour Exclusive Edition2025

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

 Doha / Geneva, December 2025 – Beda’a unveils a new version of the Eclipse in commemoration of Qatar’s National day (Dec 18th), limited to 50 pieces only.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This new release comes in response to the overwhelming and positive reception of the Eclipse, as well as the increasing demand for new iterations by friends and collectors, and serves as a celebration of both the brand and its home, Qatar.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The Eclipse: Qatar Limited Edition replaces the original blue accents of the watch with a deep Maroon – as carried on Qatar’s Flag.  This is also shown on the case back of the Eclipse, with a new Maroon rotor. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Eastern-Arabic numerals are displayed front and centre to show the hours, and the “Beda’aBadge on the dial is replaced with Arabic calligraphy of the same.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Founded in Doha, Beda’a bridges cultures — blending Middle Eastern sensibility with Swiss Made precision. Lebanese designer Sohaib Maghnam, the brand’s creative director and CEO, shapes each creation with a distinctive aesthetic that draws on established horological codes yet ventures beyond them. This dialogue between regional inspiration and traditional craftsmanship defines Beda’a’s unique voice in today’s watchmaking landscape.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Beyond the Eclipse’s distinctive design language, the latest nomination at this year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) recognized the brand’s ability to express creativity, innovation, and technical depth at an accessible price point – the very spirit of the Challenge Prize.

Time told differently

Inspired by the rare natural phenomenon from which it takes its name, Eclipse reimagines the act of reading time from a minimalist yet striking perspective.

 Framed by a 37 mm stainless-steel case, a “celestial shield” conceals most of the dial, revealing only the essentials: a sweeping hour aperture, a floating minutes indicator, and a discreet 10-second counter.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The shield itself floats just beneath the sapphire crystal, creating a tactile connection and a play of light evocative of an eclipse’s corona. Beneath this architectural dial lies the Sellita SW300 automatic movement, visible through a sapphire case back.

With its 8.1 mm profile and refined lug construction – each lug individually finished and fitted to the concave case via invisible screws – Eclipse balances visual presence with ergonomic comfort.

Doha / Geneva 2025 – Eclipse, Beda’a’s new chapter, has been nominated for the Challenge Prize at this year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) – the beacon event of the watchmaking world, often described as the industry’s “Oscars” – to be held on 13 November.

The Challenge category: creativity and accessibility

Introduced by the GPHG to spotlight watches retailing at CHF 3,000 or less, the Challenge category celebrates creative audacity, lateral thinking, and technical ingenuity within an attainable price range. Its goal is to encourage independent and emerging brands to demonstrate horological legitimacy and imagination beyond traditional boundaries.

In this spirit, Eclipse embodies a distinctly modern vision of watchmaking – minimalist yet expressive, culturally rooted yet globally resonant. Its nomination among the six finalists for 2025 underscores Beda’a’s growing stature and its commitment to offering originality and refinement on accessible terms.

Recognition that goes beyond the object

“This nomination is incredibly meaningful for us,” 

says Sohaib Maghnam, Creative Director and CEO of Beda’a.

Eclipse was born from a desire to translate a simple, universal phenomenon – the eclipse – into a watch that feels poetic, balanced, and pure. To see that vision acknowledged by the GPHG jury, among some of the most respected names in the field, is deeply rewarding. It’s recognition that goes beyond the object itself – it’s about creativity, discipline, and the courage to do things differently.”

BEDA'a Watches – ANGLES MECALINE “Italy” Edition

 

BEDA'a WatchesANGLES MECALINEItaly” Beige Dial Edition 2025

Beda’a unveils Angles MecalineItalyat After Time in Milano

Beda’a introduces the Angles Mecaline “Italy”: a limited-edition timepiece inspired by the timeless Grandeur of Venice.


The Angles Mecaline “Italy” is a limited-edition creation that pays tribute to the eternal splendour of Venice. Drawing inspiration from the refined geometry of the Palazzo Ducale, this exclusive model fuses Italian cultural heritage with contemporary watchmaking precision.

Its octagonal case mirrors the architectural rhythm of the palace’s facade, while the dial features a finely detailed geometric motif that reinterprets the building’s signature lozenge patterns.

Collectors will discover a unique dial configuration featuring Roman numerals at 12, 3, and 9 o’clock, and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, affirming the model’s mechanical soul.

This edition is paired with a textured tannish-beige strap, adding a touch of understated sophistication and enhancing the dialogue between material and design. With this piece, Beda’a celebrates Italian artistry and its enduring influence on modern aesthetics.

The Angles collection has spearheaded Beda’a’s growth. Until now, it was available only with a quartz movement.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

 Collectors, however, had long requested a mechanical version. Today, the watch company’s designer and CEO Sohaib Maghnam answers that call.

After 15 months of development, the challenge of remaining true to the original Angles design has been met with only a 0.7 mm increase in profile.

 5 Key Takeaways:

    • The Angles collection welcomes a hand-wound mechanical version: Angles Mecaline
    • A 50 pieces limited edition, price CHF 1250 excl. tax.
    • A piece close to collectors’ hearts – now manually wound, with small seconds
    • A 37 mm case whose proportions transcend gender, appealing to a wide circle of collectors
    • Positioned with clarity and balance, at the crossroads of watchmaking depth and everyday wearability.

A signature design evolves – from within

Some challenges are as easy to phrase as they are hard to solve: how do you transform a quartz watch into a mechanical one… and without changing its design? The question may sound straightforward, but it is anything but — especially for the Angles collection, where design is everything.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Sohaib Maghnam envisioned a shape at once powerful and graceful: a watch with an octagonal bezel set on an angled case middle, its stepped layers refined by a delicate interplay of finishes. It was an audacious project for a fledgling brand, yet one that proved decisive: today, the Angles collection stands at the forefront of Beda’a’s growth, embraced by collectors of all kinds – from first-time buyers to seasoned enthusiasts, women and men alike.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Almost all, that is: “A segment of traditional watchmaking enthusiasts had been asking for a mechanical version of the Angles watch. But the collection lives through and for its design, where proportions are key. Fitting a mechanical movement into the volume made for a quartz one is next to impossible without compromising those proportions. In watchmaking, whenever a model exists in both quartz and mechanical versions, the latter is always noticeably thicker. That was never an option for the Angles,” explains Sohaib Maghnam, CEO of Beda’a.

15 months of development…so that nothing had to change

It took no less than fifteen months of development to get there. Countless infinitesimal adjustments were necessary… to ensure that the evolution would remain undetectable. In the end, the difference between the quartz and mechanical versions amounts to no more than 0.7 mm — a distinction rather than a difference, and virtually imperceptible.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Achieving this balance required a number of subtle modifications and refinements. Among them, a slimmer bezel, dial, and crystal, along with a solid caseback to avoid the extra height of a sapphire exhibition back. “And a new crown,” adds Sohaib Maghnam, “because the Angles Mecaline is hand-wound, the crown also had to be redesigned to ensure perfect handling in everyday use.”

Reliability, ease of ownership – and a watchmaker’s touch

The mechanical movement chosen for the Angles is the ETA 7001 (with approximately 42 hours of power reserve), marking a first for Beda’a. This caliber is widely regarded for its reliability and ease of maintenance, highlighting its cost-effectiveness across every dimension of ownership.

 To visually distinguish the mechanical model from its quartz counterpart, the Angles Mecaline features a small seconds display at 6 o’clock. “It affirms the Angles’ horological identity, and also serves as a reassuring sign of the watch’s proper functioning,” notes Sohaib Maghnam.
