The first evening commenced with an intimate private dinner at Signor Sassi in Riyadh, setting the stage for a captivating journey through the world of MB&F. Renowned for its innovative approach and meticulous attention to detail, MB&F has curated an exceptional experience that is certain to leave guests awe-struck and inspired.
Day 2 had the MB&F team and a group of select collectors embark on a private tour of Al Turaif district in Diriyah, the historical heart of the capital. The tour was followed by another private dinner in Via Riyadh, the home of CLÉ’s first physical gallery in Saudi Arabia.
“We are immensely proud to be part of this exclusive collaboration with MB&F for the highly-anticipated collectors’ dinner,” expressed Yasmine AlShathry, Founder and CEO of CLÉ. “By bringing MB&F to Saudi Arabia, we aim to cultivate community engagement, strengthen the rapport between MB&F and the Saudi market and elevate the luxury landscape in our region. This event will mark a milestone in our mission to redefine the way brands engage with local consumers.”

By challenging conventional boundaries and embracing world-first collaborations with renowned artists, watchmakers, designers and manufacturers, MB&F has become synonymous with creating some of the most extraordinary timepieces and three-dimensional kinetic sculptures that push the boundaries of imagination.
“These very first collector events in Riyadh organized with CLE were for us a tremendous way of meeting our local MB&F Tribe members and making new friends. Saudi’s collectors are incredibly enthusiastic about independent watchmaking and we were humbled to witness such passion and kindness” – Cédric Roussel, Relationship Manager of MB&F.
