26 | LUXlife Magazine AIM-Apr25181 Qannati: Luxury Timepieces and Bracelets for Men Born out of the vision of Mahmood Qannati, its entrepreneurial founder, Qannati Objet d’Art (Qannati) is a niche luxury brand that brings together some of France’s most skilled experts across the realms of art, jewellery, and horology. Creating unique masterpieces designed to stand the test of time, Qannati’s products speak the universal language of sacred geometry – which is hidden in plain sight and present in everything that exists. Recognised as the Best for Creative Luxury Jewellery 2025 – France, we take a deep dive into Qannati, including the brand’s inspiration, below. A French-Bahrani brand, Qannati’s philosophy draws from the ancient Mesopotamia region, which was situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in West Asia. Widely recognised as being one of the most culturallyrich civilisations in history, kings and other powerful men in this region were often depicted in statues and carvings with bracelets – round dials that depicted the sacred geometry of the Flower of Life. These fine jewellery pieces symbolised the divinity, power, and knowledge possessed by these men. Giving rebirth to this ancient philosophy through its own range of jewellery, Qannati’s Celebration of Time collection celebrates some of the most important moments in the history of our planet and culture. The expert craftsmen behind Qannati have brought these events back to life through a range of bold statement pieces that are truly a sight to behold. This selection starts at the very beginning of time with the Big Bang, reflected through Alpha – a display-only piece made by the team to showcase their exceptional abilities. The collection then unfolds across a historical journey beginning with the age of dinosaurs, which is displayed in all its glory through both the Jurassic Eternity Bracelet and the Jurassic Quantum Timepiece. Both of these luxury items are handcrafted over a period of more than 800 days, and are made using only the finest materials, such as fossilised dinosaur bone, alligator skin, and precious metals, topped with a gemstone of the client’s choosing. Moving on to the dawn of man, the next moment covered by Qannati is the Bible story of Adam and Eve, which is beautifully presented through both the First Civilisation Eternity Bracelet – centred with a gemstone apple and an 18k grey-gold snake – and the equally striking First Civilisation Quantum Timepiece. Again, these items are created by hand over hundreds of days – a common theme across this collection and a fitting example of the time, care, and dedication afforded to every single piece in this breathtaking portfolio. Picking up speed, the rest of this exquisite collection covers the Roman Empire – seen through a particularly beautiful bracelet depicting the Colosseum in the form of an 18k yellow-gold model with black diamond chips in the interior and a gladiator-themed timepiece – the magnificent Gulf region, the Monaco Grand Prix, and finally, man’s adventure to the final frontier – space. Every theme within this collection has both a bracelet and a timepiece with an entirely unique design, and each is more spectacular than the last. Outside of its a Celebration in Time range, Qannati’s mastery can be explored through bespoke orders, with its world-class jewellers taking a moment of a client’s personal journey and turning it into a timeless, wearable masterpiece crafted from the finest materials and sourced from a bottomless pool of creativity. The innate magic of this process is embodied through the duo of designer Frédéric Mané and master jeweller/sculptor Jothi-Seroj. As for how the process works, a client makes an appointment with the team and is provided with a thorough briefing. Once some key points are defined by these experts, the second step entails showing the client a hand-drawn proposal of their piece, including an illustration detailing the materials and gems used. Following this, a conversation is had about how long it will take to complete, start time, and price. Upon completion, the piece is sent safely and swiftly to the client, who is sure to be blown away by the finished item. The process takes between three to six months on average, with an AI profiling option being available to potentially speed things up. Not only is every client piece totally unique (one of one), but every delivery also comes in Qannati’s signature Egg of Life (Q Box) and complete with a thematic painting. This makes the whole process more than just bespoke – it is a one-ofa-kind experience that is totally unlike anything else in this space. Ultimately, Qannati Objet d’Art’s unique brand of niche luxury sets it apart, and the quality of its jewellery and timepieces are outmatched only by the endless creativity behind them. On the back of this, it is our pleasure to celebrate the brand with a place in this feature. Contact: Mahmood Qannati Company: Qannati Objet d’Art Web Address: www.qannati.com
