Introduction to Karim Haddad
Karim Haddad is an entrepreneur with a well-documented eye for high-end horology. Operating across business circles where luxury goods function as a legitimate currency of taste, Haddad has built a reputation not just for commercial acumen but for the depth of his knowledge around complicated mechanical watches. He is the kind of collector who researches movements before he researches cases, and that comes through clearly in the pieces he chooses to wear.
The Karim Haddad watch collection leans heavily into three maisons: Richard Mille, Franck Muller, and Jacob & Co — each representing a distinct lane of contemporary independent watchmaking. His most talked-about sighting involved the Aet Remould A011 Abu Dhabi Special Edition, a five-piece limited re-casing of the Richard Mille RM011 Felipe Massa flyback chronograph inside a full sapphire crystal case measuring 50mm. The RM011, introduced in 2007 as a tribute to the Formula 1 driver of the same name, houses a skeletonized automatic movement and is already a sought-after reference in its standard form. The sapphire re-case by Aet Remould elevates rarity to an almost absurd degree. Alongside his Richard Mille pieces, Haddad has been photographed wearing references from Franck Muller — a brand associated with grand complications and the tonneau case format — and Jacob & Co, whose outsized, gem-set, and multi-complication pieces attract collectors who are comfortable making bold choices.
What the collection reflects is a preference for watches that have a technical or visual argument to make, rather than pieces chosen purely for brand recognition. The Aet Remould sighting in particular suggests Haddad operates at the intersection of aftermarket customization culture and serious horology — a space occupied by a very small number of collectors globally. With five watches currently in our database and further sightings expected, this is a collection worth watching closely.
Karim Haddad Spotted Wearing the Ultra-Rare Richard Mille RM011 Abu Dhabi Special Edition Sapphire Case by Aet Remould
Inserted 28/04/2023
Only five examples of this watch exist in the world. The Aet Remould A011 Abu Dhabi Special Edition reimagines the Richard Mille RM011 flyback chronograph inside a full sapphire crystal case measuring 50mm, finished in the signature 'Abu Dhabi Blue' — a hue historically associated with speed and motorsport in the UAE capital. The skeletonized dial exposes every layer of the movement through near-total transparency. Entrepreneur Karim Haddad was spotted wearing this extreme rarity, a piece that sits at the absolute edge of contemporary watch customization.
Karim Haddad Spotted Wearing Jacob & Co Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon in Solid Blue Sapphire
Inserted 27/04/2023
The case itself is the complication: Jacob & Co carved this Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon's 44.4 mm housing from a single block of blue sapphire crystal, a feat of micromachining that rivals the watchmaking inside. The movement replicates the W16 engine architecture of the Bugatti Chiron hypercar, with a visually faithful cylinder arrangement driving the tourbillon. This piece unique was spotted on the wrist of Dubai-based entrepreneur Karim Haddad — one of the rare individuals for whom a $1.5 million wristwatch is the logical companion to a seven-figure automobile.
Karim Haddad Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM 52-05 Tourbillon Pharrell Williams
Inserted 08/01/2023
The Richard Mille RM 52-05 is one of the most sculpturally complex watches the Le Brassus manufacture has ever produced — a hand-painted tourbillon collaboration with Pharrell Williams that retails at $2,500,000 USD and exists in an edition so limited it rarely surfaces in public. Entrepreneur Karim Haddad, known in luxury circles for his unapologetic taste, was recently spotted wearing this extraordinary piece, confirming his place among a tiny global cohort of collectors who actually put these seven-figure instruments on their wrist.
Karim Haddad Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM 56-01 Brown Sapphire Tourbillon
Inserted 25/12/2022
The Richard Mille RM 56-01 Brown Sapphire Tourbillon is one of the most technically audacious wristwatches ever produced — its entire case is machined from solid synthetic sapphire crystal, a material harder than almost any substance on earth and notoriously brutal to machine with precision. Retail pricing sits at approximately $5,000,000 USD, placing it firmly among the most expensive wristwatches ever offered. Entrepreneur and luxury enthusiast Karim Haddad was recently spotted on the wrist with this extraordinary piece, confirming his position among a vanishingly small circle of collectors who own one.
UAE Entrepreneur Karim Haddad Spotted With Hasbulla Wearing Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting Skeleton in Diamond-Set 18k Pink Gold
Inserted 25/12/2022
The Franck Muller Vanguard Yachting Skeleton is one of Geneva's most technically ambitious barrel-case watches, housing a manually skeletonized automatic movement visible through both sapphire crystals — with the anchor complication acting as a genuine tourbillon cage alternative in visual drama. UAE entrepreneur and luxury personality Karim Haddad was photographed alongside internet phenomenon Hasbulla Magomedov inside what appears to be a Bugatti hypercar interior, wearing this heavily diamond-paved pink gold Vanguard on a blue rubber-backed leather strap.
