The Piaget x Razan Al Azzouni collection focuses on their shared passion for gold, exquisite craftsmanship, and creativity.
Al Azzouni was inspired by the fluidity of the artisan’s hands and the fascinating process of gold craftsmanship at Paiget’s ‘Ateliers De Extraordinaire.’ The sun–which is an emblematic motif for Piaget–exudes its radiance on the Piaget x Razan Al Azzouni Ramadan coffee cups, infusing each piece with a dash of sparkle. Al Azzouni triumphantly captures the essence of Piaget through her artwork, drawing inspiration from the ‘Possession’ collection.
VACHERON CONSTANTIN x OMAR AL GURG
To celebrate Ramadan, Vacheron Constantin has collaborated with Emirati artist Omar Al Gurg. Gurg, the visionary behind the furniture label MODU Method, has joined hands with Vacheron Constantin on an art installation inspired by the desert landscape of the Middle East and Islamic art. The Vacheron Constantin x Omar Al Gurg art installation titled ‘Among the Pillars’ is crafted from innovative and locally sourced materials.
Drawing inspiration from Middle Eastern culture, he unveiled a 4-meter-tall masterpiece crafted from two innovative locally sourced materials, showcasing the Maison’s deep connection with the community. The first material, ‘PlyPalm,’ repurposes regional palm tree fronds into elegant pillars symbolizing the region’s heritage and the passage of time. The second, ‘DateForm,’ utilizes date seeds to create a unique solid surface, paying homage to traditions of the holy month. Engraved with the Vacheron Constantin Maltese cross, a plate atop the shorter pillars seamlessly integrates high watchmaking excellence with local craftsmanship.
The main art piece is exhibited at Vacheron Constantin’s Dubai Mall flagship store and will be replicated across all regional boutiques during the month of Ramadan.
