------------------------
Who they are
Waqtun is an Egyptian watch brand founded by a collective of five partners,Established by Youssef El Gendy, Mazen Draz, Abdalla Sharabas, Ziad Fahmy, and Youssef Tarek, with Youssef El Gendy steering the vision as Managing Director and Mazen Draz shaping the brand as Creative Director.
The brand was created around the idea that a watch should accompany its owner through life, not mark an end point.
Waqtun is built on intentional design, cultural depth, and the belief that time is personal. Each piece reflects a moment, a journey, and the individual wearing it.
What they do
Waqtun designs and releases limited-edition watches that blend modern form with Egyptian identity. The brand operates through small, controlled drops rather than mass production, offering timepieces meant to be worn, lived with, and kept.
Access to releases is selective, with private access opening first to those connected to the brand’s growing community.
What makes them distinct
• Egyptian-founded and locally designed
• Distinctive six-edged case with modern proportions
• Textured dials inspired by geometric patterns
• Bracelet links subtly shaped to form the “W” identity

Design approach
Waqtun’s design language is calm, balanced, and deliberate. Every element—from case geometry to dial texture—is developed to feel grounded and timeless, avoiding trends in favor of longevity and everyday wear.
The result is a watch that feels considered rather than loud.
Community & presence
Waqtun actively engages with Egypt’s creative and design community and has participated in Cairo Design Week, presenting early concepts, sketches, and design thinking.
The brand continues to grow through direct connection with its audience rather than traditional retail exposure.
Summary
Waqtun is a modern Egyptian watch brand built by five founders and led by a clear creative and managerial vision. Through limited production, thoughtful design, and controlled releases, the brand creates watches designed to accompany their owners through real life—not just special occasions.
