A familiar script, on the object you look at most.
Ramlah began in 2024 with a single conviction — that the numerals you grew up reading belong on the watch you glance at every day.
Ramlah — from raml, the Arabic word for sand.
Sand fills the hourglass; the hourglass measures time. Our name carries that lineage — a quiet reminder that time moves, and that how you spend it is what matters.
It is why an hourglass hides inside the R of our monogram.
Eastern Arabic numerals, on the dial.
The digits on most watch dials — 1, 2, 3 — are Western Arabic. Ramlah dials carry the Eastern Arabic numerals: ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩.
A watch is one of the few things you wear and look at every single day. When the numbers looking back at you are written in the script of your heritage, that everyday glance becomes quietly personal.
One design, done properly.
Every Al Awaal pairs an alloy case with IP plating and a stainless steel bracelet with a reliable quartz movement and luminous hands. Designed by Ramlah, made in China, shipped from the Netherlands.
We chose to begin with one design, done properly — Al Awaal, “The First.” The next chapter is already on the bench.
Choosing a watch is personal. Here is what sets ours apart.
- The script Eastern Arabic numerals (٠–٩) on a dial made to be read every day.
- Considered design A 41 mm case with a clean dial and a stainless steel band — as at home with a suit as with a t-shirt.
- Honest specifications Quartz precision, luminous hands, 3 ATM water resistance. We tell you exactly what you are buying.
- An honest price €110 including VAT, with free shipping in the Netherlands and Belgium. Heritage should not carry a luxury markup.
We are a young brand, and it shows: every order counts. Each Ramlah is checked by hand, packed in its gift box, and shipped from the Netherlands — with a one-year warranty and fourteen days to change your mind.
