Amina Muaddi — watch collection

About Amina Muaddi’s watch collection

Amina Muaddi is a Jordanian-Romanian entrepreneur and shoe designer who built one of the most recognisable footwear labels in contemporary fashion almost entirely on her own terms. After working as a designer for other houses, she launched her eponymous brand in 2018 and within a few years had achieved the kind of cultural reach that takes most labels a decade or more to develop. Her shoes — characterised by a sculptural heel and a deliberate sense of proportion — have been worn by a long list of high-profile clients and regularly appear on red carpets globally. Beyond product, Muaddi has become a recognisable figure in her own right, as much a presence in fashion media as the objects she designs.

The Amina Muaddi watch collection, as captured so far in our database, centres on a single but telling piece: a yellow gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116508 with a champagne dial. Spotted on her wrist in recent outings, the combination is a considered one. The ref. 116508 is built entirely in 18k yellow gold — case, Oyster bracelet, and all — measuring 40mm with Rolex's signature screw-down pushers and tachymetric bezel. The champagne dial keeps the whole thing within a narrow tonal range, which reads as a deliberate aesthetic choice rather than a reflexive reach for something flashy. It is one of the more expensive references in the current Daytona lineup and carries a waiting list at authorised dealers.

For someone whose professional output is defined by proportion, detail, and a resistance to the obvious, the 116508 in this configuration makes sense as a choice. It is not the most subdued Daytona available, but the monochromatic execution pulls it back from ostentation. As Muaddi's public profile continues to grow, it would be no surprise to see further Rolex references — or other brands entirely — added to this collection over time.
