Mo, thanks for sharing.
The watch itself may not be my thing, in terms of aesthetic etc but that’s not important. Congrats on what sounds like a fun project, looking forward to seeing the prototype and ultimately the wrist shots.
Question for you, can you tell us more about the group / friends behind this, and how you all managed to come together and get this moving forward.
Thank you Jay ,
It started from a WhatsApp group actually
A group of like minded collectors from the GCC region and the idea popped up to do something special just for us
I took the lead on this and started reaching out to manufacturers for movements
And since I had first hand experience with LJP movement from my Angelus I recommended la joux perret for the first project
After we agreed with them we hired a freelancer designer from Germany to work on the design and renders and provide the technical files to the case maker
We contracted with a sister company for Voutilainen that specialize in case manufacturing Voutilainen-cattin SA
now the idea has evolved into developing more watches for commercial purposes
I’m talking in particular with Agenhor and Vaucher to build long term relationship
So stay tuned for P02,P03...
It’s very exciting actually and very fulfilling to do your own watch 100% Swiss too
The P01 is only for us the group

That’s really cool, a proper passion project.
When you get the “agengraphe” in the pipeline let me know ! That’s a beast I think I’d be interested in.
Best of luck with this adventure. Hopefully by the time 02 and 03 are in the making we will all be able to see them in the metal.
I find it very attractive and sexy!
The skeletonized lugs are also beautiful and match the movement perfectly.
Blue strap matching the blue accent is also top notch
Is it gonna be natural colored titanium or some PVD/DLC coating? I kinda prefer titanium color for sure
Would have preferred a larger size at 44mm to match the modern design of the watch. But besides that it looks perfect 👌🏼
Well done and good luck 
Best,
Laurent
Looks interesting and wish you the best
Especially since it won’t be long, if it’s a commercial project, until AP will sue you. It looks very much like their current lineup with the case design and skeletonized movement.
Great watch
you developed Mohannad.
What i like about your Maison 1505 is to keep it simple.
Open and fresh. No overkill with crowns and pushers.

I like it too! Very cool design and nice choice for the movement so far.

Hi Mo - like the watch, if I could change two things...
1. The hand set: I'm not sure exactly what would work best but I'd still be inclined to play with not only styles and finishes (brushed vs. polished) but even try some colours (blued hands, etc)..
2. On a tourbillion, I always like for one part of the tourbillion to indicate seconds for the purposes of being able to determine accuracy, instead of all sides of the cage being symetrical.
