A watch is no longer needed to tell the time.

There's one set of times that does matter.

Five moments are fixed outside of us. Everything else adapts to them.

Prayer watches

A familiar form. A dial that knows the moment.

The device shows the prayer times and the qibla for your city.

Rationale

The time on your wrist gets meaning again: five moments, every day.

Time is everywhere: on your phone, your laptop, on the wall. Yet you wear a watch. Not for the time, but for what the object is.

Your day isn't built around office hours, but around five fixed moments. No screen displays them as you need them. This instrument does.

Read our story

Precision is reverence.

Doing exactly what is right is in itself an act of dedication. That is why the tolerances are written in black and white.

Display the prayer times

Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha for your city. The times are pre-calculated per city and taqweem, with the option for daylight saving time, and stored in the clock. The instrument knows and displays them.

Indicates the qibla

Points to the qibla from the city you choose. Discreetly on the dial, without proving anything.

Also above 48Β° North latitude

Angle-based standard calculations do not yield a usable result in summer above approximately 48Β°N. The instrument incorporates an adjustment rule for this. In the mechanism, not in the small print.

Your choices

The calculation method that suits your region, or that of your mosque if you prefer. A switchable audible beep. Your name on the display.

This watch doesn't serve you. It serves the moment.

Al-Battani, Al-Khwarizmi, and the muwaqqits of Damascus and Cairo measured the heavens to find prayer times. They worked with the greatest care and craftsmanship because of their faith, not despite it. Somewhere along the way, that unity was lost.

MESSOUD stands in that tradition. That tradition is intellectual and spiritual, not genetic: whoever recited the shahada yesterday is just as fully part of it as anyone else.

On ʿilm al-mīqāt, the science of timekeeping

The first day

01 - The box, the book, the first Fajr.

The weight of the case, the texture of the paper, the click of the bezel. A manual that reads like a book, not a leaflet.

02 - Your city, your name.

The display shows the name of your city and, if you wish, your own name. The instrument becomes the property of the wearer.

03 - The first correct Fajr.

The gaze at the wrist before wudu. The moment comes. The instrument indicates it.

Your city

Choose your city. This way, the instrument knows the time.

Today's prayer times. The instrument displays the pre-calculated times for your city and the taqweem you choose.
