The most prestigious mechanical watches come from Switzerland. The smartest ones don’t. And until now, no one has dared to combine the two into something that is both classic and clever.
We started Aramedes to bring the subtle magic of classic timepieces into the digital age. We're taking everything we love about Swiss watchmaking and advanced technology and combining them as only we can – mechanical movements, high tech, and classic design, all intelligently integrated to form a watch that is as beautiful as it is clever.
Our watches are crafted to support Muslims in the practice of their faith. These classically designed timepieces feature up to three very special functions: Qibla (Mecca compass), Salat (prayer time indicator), and Sawm (Ramadan fasting indicator).
