In the Qannati workshop, craftsmanship is practiced as an art form. Our artisans work with precision tools and steady hands, shaping stone, metal, mother of pearl and other rare materials into elements measured in millimetres. Every step is performed manually, guided by experience and an unwavering commitment to perfection.
Each craft stone cutting, micro-sculpture, engraving, inlay and finishing contributes a layer of depth to the miniature worlds we create. These skills, mastered over years, transform raw materials into meaningful objects that express heritage, emotion and personal stories.
Qannati creations begin with a meticulous selection of rare and meaningful materials — stones, pearls, minerals, shells, flowers and other natural elements chosen for their character and symbolism. Each material is sourced with intention and crafted by hand, becoming a vital component in the miniature universes we create, adding depth, emotion and a distinctive soul to every piece.
Qannati brings a new dimension to watchmaking by transforming timepieces into miniature worlds of meaning. Each creation combines meticulous handcraft, rare materials and symbolic design to shape a story unique to its wearer. From sculpted elements to refined finishing, every detail reflects our commitment to purposeful artistry and the evolution of watchmaking into a form of personal expression.
About
At Qannati, stone cutting is a delicate art. Our craftsmen study each stone’s natural character, then shape it by hand with precision tools to reveal its inner beauty. Every curve, angle and polish is guided by the story the piece will express. The result: a material transformed into meaning, crafted to fit seamlessly within its miniature universe.
Our artisans meticulously place gems, pearls, flowers, shells and rare natural elements into each creation, using techniques measured in fractions of a millimetre. Every material is selected for its character and symbolism, then delicately inlaid by hand to form intricate layers of colour, texture and meaning. This fusion of diverse elements transforms each Qannati tableau into a living world — rich, detailed and entirely unique.
Our engravers carve stories into every surface — stone, mother-of-pearl, brass, and steel. Using fine tools and steady hands, they etch textures, symbols and details measured in microns. Each line is cut with purpose, bringing depth, character and emotion to the miniature world within every Qannati creation.
Our enameling artists apply ultra-fine layers of colour to enhance depth and emotion within each Qannati creation. Working under magnification, they fuse pigments onto metal or sculpted surfaces, creating luminous tones, gradients and highlights. The result is a subtle glow that adds life, contrast and vibrancy to the miniature universe beneath the sapphire crystal.
