Al-Muftah Jewellery has introduced a new exquisite collection of Celtic watches from Charriol at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition yesterday.
“Charriol is a distinguished and very successful brand. It is adorned by those who love beauty and innovation. The new collection of Celtic watches would enrich the Qatari market,” said Abdul Rahman al-Muftah, general manager of Al-Muftah Jewellery.
The new Celtic watches represent the fourth generation of the original model, which has become a brand icon.
Besides the watches, he pointed out that accessories loved by the local society enjoy a strong presence in the Charriol line-up.   
“Watches have been important for many years in the Charriol collection. However, the brand is a producer of multiple products such as accessories, bags, perfumes and other things,” said Coralie Charriol, creative director at the brand.
She saw Doha as an inspiration for her future creations with its varied and unique architecture as well as with its remarkable culture.
“The introduction of Charriol’s most recent innovations here is the outcome of our growing confidence in the Qatari market as well as the strong partnership with Al-Muftah Jewellery, which has been going on for around 25 years,” pointed out Benoit Deroual, sales and marketing director at Charriol.
Coralie Charriol said that as she goes around everywhere, she devises new ideas about her next creation to accommodate more for particular areas and tastes. However, as the world is becoming closer to each other, people have come to have similar trends in relation to fashion and accessories.

Regarding the new Celtic watches, she explained that “the round cases, topped by a bezel featuring eight gadroons, are steel or two-toned with a gold PVD treatment. The cable integrated around their circumference is always in raw steel. The range also includes jewellery versions set with 32 diamonds.” She added that “the hours and minutes, or hours, minutes, seconds and date, are displayed on white or black dials enlivened with Arabic or Roman numerals or hour-markers. Some variations in genuine mother-of-pearl are graced with zircon hour-markers.”
Coralie expressed her happiness at the success of the brand in Qatar describing it as a highly promising market.
