Who We Are

Beik & Moll is the creation of two visionaries, Karim El Beik and Khalid Moll, who took a leap to establish a watch brand rooted in both tradition and innovation. Sharing a deep-seated passion for wristwatches and a love for their Egyptian heritage, they decided to embark on a journey to craft a line of timepieces that not only showcase Cairo’s cultural essence but also break new ground in the world of watchmaking. Beik & Moll isn’t just a brand; it’s a celebration of art, history, and local pride, intertwined in the delicate mechanics of a watch.

Our Beginning: The Pulse of a New Generation

Our journey began as we observed a shift in the values of our generation. People are no longer confined by labels or legacy brands; they are drawn to pieces that reflect their own stories, values, and identities. This desire for authenticity is especially resonant in Egypt, where a renewed celebration of local artistry and craftsmanship is in full swing. Karim and Khalid, united by their passion for horology, noticed the budding movement and saw an opportunity to make watches that were more than just accessories—they wanted to create wearable pieces of art that resonate with Egyptians and captivate individuals beyond Cairo.

Exploring the landscape of timepiece design, we knew we didn’t want to just follow existing paths; we wanted to chart our own. And so, Beik & Moll was born from a simple yet ambitious dream: to create watches that fuse Egyptian cultural beauty with modern craftsmanship. The result is a line of exceptional timepieces that embody the spirit of Cairo—contemporary, yet steeped in history, designed to be both accessible and remarkable.

Why We Embrace Arabic Numerals: A Cultural Nod

Our choice to use Arabic numerals goes beyond aesthetics—it’s a tribute to a rich and enduring legacy. Arabic numerals, originally developed in India and brought to Europe in the 12th century, revolutionized numerical systems worldwide, replacing Roman numerals with their simplicity and practicality. We aren’t the first to feature Arabic numerals on a watch dial, but Beik & Moll stands as the first Egyptian brand to proudly adopt them, representing not just a functional choice but a cultural statement. Our dials speak to our heritage in a subtle yet powerful way, bringing a timeless global symbol full circle, back to its roots.

Cairo: Our Inspiration Playground

Every Beik & Moll watch is infused with the soul of Cairo, a city with endless stories etched into its very streets. Cairo is a city where history meets the present, where the past melds with the now, creating a tapestry that’s as rich as it is dynamic. The design of our watches draws directly from this cityscape, capturing the architectural beauty and lively energy that define Cairo.

The numerals on our dials echo the Arabic signage found throughout Cairo’s streets and markets, symbols that are both familiar and comforting to those who know the city. Our color palette is inspired by the colors of Cairo itself: the deep, warm camel brown of wooden furniture in neighborhood coffee shops, where people gather over tea and conversation; the mustard tones of dust that drift through the air and settle onto the city’s ancient buildings, carrying whispers of history; the rich, dark green of trees that have witnessed countless lives; and the profound navy blue of the Nile, ever-flowing, a lifeline of the city. These colors come together to embody the essence of Cairo, transforming each watch into a piece of wearable art that tells its own story.

Beyond the colors, our watch design incorporates a symbolic illustration of a felucca, the traditional wooden sailing boat of the Nile. With subtle engravings of palm tree motifs on the case, we evoke a vision of drifting along the river, capturing the spirit of Egypt’s natural beauty. This homage to the Nile and the city it nourishes is our way of grounding Beik & Moll in the legacy of Cairo—a city as timeless as the watches we craft.

At Beik & Moll, we are more than creators of timepieces; we are storytellers. Every detail, from the Arabic numerals to the earthy, Cairo-inspired colors, is meticulously selected to echo Egypt’s rich history and enduring charm.
