Discover the 3D Futurism of Maghnam Mohareb Gen-II: Redefining Watch Design with this Chameleonic Timepiece

As the world of watchmaking steered towards futuristic, space-age designs with unconventional displays and bold mechanics, Qatar-based Sohaib Maghnam charted a distinctive route. Trained as a mechanical engineer, Maghnam’s approach to horology is deeply rooted in his understanding of form, structure, and movement. For him, creating a watch is much like engineering a dynamic 3D entity, reminiscent of a machine or body armor. His watches carry not only a unique mechanical charm but vital elements of cultural identity, imparting a profoundly personal touch to each creation. With the unveiling of ‘The Makina’ in 2020, he set the stage for a novel concept of modularity and sculptural design that redefined the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking.

The latest Maghnam Mohareb Gen-II is remarkable for its artistry and engineering precision. It features a 39.5mm 904L stainless steel case, delivering superior corrosion resistance and higher density than standard 316L steel. Measuring a thickness of 8.6mm, reduced to 3.5mm at its edges, this watch is buoyant and stylish at just 43.5 grams. This lightness is achieved through advanced machining techniques which have finely grooved case sections to less than 0.28mm in thickness. The watch comes with a modular design, thus allowing for additional attachments. Be it the armour plate-like Blades, the traditional round-shaped Halo, or the elongated oval form Wings - the design offers immense room for customization. Rumors suggest that the earlier generation’s Armor configurations may likely become part of this updated model, thus allowing the Mohareb to be transformed into a pocket watch. The Maghnam Mohareb Gen-II is the future of watch design and a trendsetter for the industry.
