In the heart of DIFC, Perpétuel Gallery is redefining how collectors and connoisseurs experience watchmaking. Founded by Hamdan Al Hudaidi, Perpétuel is more than a gallery. It is a meeting ground for creativity, conversation and craftsmanship. This November, during Dubai Watch Week, the gallery presents Independent Voices, a five-day programme that celebrates the artistry and philosophy behind independent watchmaking.
From 19th to 23rd November, the gallery will transform into an intimate space hosting a series of conversations, private presentations and collector gatherings that explore horology as both art and expression. Independent Voices highlights storytelling, dialogue and the quiet power of craftsmanship within an intimate, atelier-style setting.
Highlights Include:
“The Clock: Mystery Box – Forget Time”
A poetic collaboration between Fiona Krüger and Denis Flageollet, this sculptural piece invites audiences to reflect on their perception of time through rhythm, emotion and memory.
Havid Nagan – Two Novelties for Perpétuel Gallery
Created exclusively for Perpétuel, Havid Nagan presents two limited-edition, an interpretation of the Classic model, celebrating the dialogue between independent creation and the gallery’s curatorial vision for contemporary collecting and the HN02 Dune introducing an industry novel. These pieces reflect a shared commitment to craftsmanship, innovation and artistic independence.
Qian Guobiao – “Facing the Sky 2.0” Limited Edition for Perpétuel
Expanding on Qian’s acclaimed Facing the Sky series, this edition explores the metaphysical connection between human aspiration and celestial motion.
Vitreum – The Peacock Limited Edition for Perpétuel
Limited to just seven pieces, the Peacock Edition reimagines Vitreum’s poetic craftsmanship through the iridescent beauty of the peacock — a symbol of renewal and grace in Arabic culture. Its hand enamel dial, alive with shifting blues and golds, captures the bird’s luminous feathers, transforming time into a celebration of colour and movement.
