Vyntage Horology has enhanced its two-model lineup with new dials. The Monograph Pumpkyn features a “warm orange sapphire dial,” and the Purity Midnight features a “transparent-to-black sapphire dial.”
“Each Vyntage Horology timepiece is an exploration of contrast — innovation meets tradition, precision meets emotion. With Monograph Pumpkyn and Purity Midnight, we continue to craft watches that are as expressive as they are exceptional.” – Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi.

Our Thoughts
Vyntage Horology is a UAE based independent watch brand founded by the Seddiqi family. They are the owners of Ahmed Seddiqi, the foremost watch and jewellery retailer in the Middle East.
The Monograph and Purity have become a canvas for the brand’s creativity. The Monograph Pumpkyn and Purity Midnight feature new interpretations of a sapphire dial, both of which will appeal to discerning watch collectors.
As Ahmed Seddiqi celebrates its milestone 75th anniversary, and with the 7th edition of Dubai Watch Week (a Seddiqi initiative) just around the corner, maybe we will see a third model unveiled by Vyntage Horology in the near future.
