Hamdan — watch collection

About Hamdan’s watch collection

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, known globally by his social media moniker Fazza, is the Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. Born in 1982, he is the second son of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the UAE. Beyond his role in governance and his work overseeing key areas of Dubai's development, Hamdan has built a substantial public profile through poetry, competitive show jumping, skydiving, and a social media following that numbers in the tens of millions — making him one of the most visible royals anywhere in the world.

The Hamdan watch collection, as captured across public appearances and social media, leans heavily into Richard Mille — the Swiss-French manufacturer that has spent two decades engineering watches to tolerances more commonly associated with aerospace than horology. Hamdan has been photographed wearing the Richard Mille RM27-02 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal, a reference introduced in 2015 and built around a tourbillon regulator suspended by cables just 0.28mm in diameter. The construction is technically extreme: the movement is designed to withstand the g-forces generated during a professional tennis serve, which makes it a curious but deliberate choice for a royal whose own pursuits — equestrian sport, extreme outdoor activities — place similar physical demands on what is worn on the wrist.

With three watches currently logged in our database, the collection as documented is compact but pointed. Each confirmed sighting involves a Richard Mille reference at the upper end of the brand's complexity scale, suggesting a preference for the engineering-driven side of the catalogue rather than its more commercially accessible pieces. For a figure of Hamdan's public reach, the watches he chooses to wear — and be photographed in — carry weight beyond personal taste, functioning as a quiet but legible signal of where he places his attention.
