Porsche Centre Bahrain hosts Driven By Time experience in collaboration with Qannati Bahrain and Ducati Bahrain

Porsche Centre Bahrain hosted the event at Conrad Bahrain Financial Harbour, giving its clients a closer look at one of the more interesting Bahraini-founded names in design. It opened in the Conrad Penthouse with refreshments and a view across Manama, before Mahmood Qannati, founder of the French-Bahraini house Qannati, took over. 

His watches borrow as much from jewellery and sculpture as from horology, with each piece built around a story. The hands-on session walked guests through the craftsmanship and choices behind his designs, then had them work out how their own story might translate onto a dial. 

The drive came next, in the latest Porsche range, out to The Roastery for coffee and back to the hotel. Ducati joined with a motorcycle showcase and guests from its own client community, which made it a day for anyone who cares how things are made, whether on the wrist or on the road.
