1 0 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The very first Allegra piece was designed eleven years ago and was born of an enchanting mixture of feelings, attachments, dreams, and visions. Inspiration and conflict were drawn from a pervading belief that modern life can disperse our energies, like a vortex drawing us inward, and can also easily cause us to lose sight of the essential things in life, within ourselves and within others.The Allegra collection is the showpiece which emerges out of this complex creative web of ideas and feelings, as well as illustrating the harmony and sense of fulfilment that only fatherhood can bring. The Allegra collection is a symbol of life and love and a representation of a myriad of bonds and ties, some more important than others, but all forever united and entwined in the rich and buoyant tapestry of life. The use of full bodied, solid bonds of both gold and leather that are as rich and diverse as life itself, and as vibrant as love, make this collection stand out. Rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and now a beautiful watch deliver the collection to completeness and gather together to form a stunning arrangement of engineering and beauty that combines style with grace, and content with form. A watch can become a jewel, and the complex beauty of the Allegra Collection contains within it a rich tapestry of luxurious visual artistry that is sure to appeal to the most discerning customer. The carefully sculpted shapes create a juxtaposition between the fluid form of the multiple straps and the solid, strong anatomy of the movement itself. The warmth of gold and leather contrast perfectly to provide interplay between colour and texture that adds to the subtle overall mood. The use of the square represents the essence of Fawaz Gruosi’s watchmaking style, evenmore than the circle. The Allegra watch is a double square, a squared square, a square to the power of two that holds its own
