About QANNATI:

Qannati Objet d’Art is Bahrain’s premier maker of precious, wearable art objects. The first luxury brand from Bahrain, dually based in Paris and Manama. It was founded in 2018 by Mahmood Qannati, a Bahraini-born global entrepreneur with a passion for history, a keen eye for art, and a love of fine craftsmanship.

Describing the unique qualities of the Qannati brand, Mr. Qannati commented: “To realize my vision of unique wearable art objects a reality, I partnered with two of France’s most exceptional master craftsmen. The jewelry “conceptor” and designer Frédéric Mané, named Artistic Director of Qannati; and Jothi-Sèroj Ebroussard, a master jeweler and sculptor, have joined the team, bringing their impeccable “Métiers d’Art” sensibility to Qannati’s masterpieces. They both challenge the norm and bring a multiverse of facets in their work”.

The premier maker of precious wearable art objects, Qannati Objet d’Art, launched “Celebration of Time,” its debut collection of Eternity bracelets and Quantum timepieces, at an exclusive, invitation-only presentation in Paris during Couture Week.

“Each masterpiece represents a chapter in the history of mankind, from the dawn of time immemorial to the first spark of life on earth, and the possibilities that the future holds ahead,” Mahmood Qannati said. “We believe in exclusivity, which is why each masterpiece is unique because each life experience is unique.”
