[PRE-ORDER] Walid Benla x MINIM MN01 "Arabian Nights"

From Minim

Created in collaboration with Walid Benla, writer and founder of Time-Telling Magazine, the MN01 “Arabian Nights” is a celebration of storytelling, heritage, and the friendships forged through a shared passion for watchmaking. At its centre lies a green aventurine dial, whose shimmering and sparkling surface recalls the lush oasis hidden beyond desert sands. Long associated with prosperity, opportunity, and good fortune, green felt a fitting choice for a watch inspired by timeless tales and new beginnings. The side case has “لكل وقتٍ أذان” marked, which translates to “every time has its call”, a constant reminder that time offers no guarantees, only opportunities. The rest is ours to embrace and seize. Limited to just 33 pieces, a number regarded as particularly fortunate across much of the Arab world, Arabian Nights honours a rich tradition of stories passed from one generation to the next.
