About PRJKT8

The PRJKT8 journey, where horological artistry meets personalized service.

Humble Beginnings

PRJKT8 is Bahrain’s pioneering watch boutique, dedicated to showcasing the artistry of independent watchmakers. Our name reflects both a playful ‘project’ and the eight-year journey to bring this vision to life. At PRJKT8, we offer a unique, personalized experience, far beyond the traditional boutique. With a passionate team, we guide each client in discovering their perfect timepiece, curating a collection that spans from accessible craftsmanship to the pinnacle of independent haute horology.

Visionary Beginnings: The Founder's Journey.

PRJKT8's story is deeply tied to our founder, Ali Mudara and his passion for watchmaking. After leaving behind a finance career in Dubai’s DIFC, Ali returned to Bahrain with a vision to create something extraordinary.

PRJKT8 was born with a handful of brands in Bahrain's prestigious Moda Mall. From there, the boutique quickly grew, attracting renowned independent brands like MB&F, H. Moser & Cie and Parmigiani Fleurier building a reputation for offering some of the most creative and innovative timepieces in the world.

Evolution of Excellence

PRJKT8 is not about conventional retail; it’s about creating a space where horology enthusiasts can connect with the artistry behind each timepiece. Our team is committed to understanding each client’s vision and providing personalized guidance in an atmosphere designed for discovery and appreciation.

In 2023, we expanded our boutique to showcase over 20 carefully selected watch brands, offering a range of timepieces from accessible craftsmanship to the most exclusive creations of independent watchmaking. This expansion reflects our ongoing mission to bring the best of independent horology to those who appreciate the exceptional, further solidifying PRJKT8 as a destination for true connoisseurs.

What attracted us to work with Ali and PRJKT8 is that it is built on passion and entrepreneurial spirit. Those values are similar to the ones we had since the beginning of the history of H. Moser & Cie.

Ali Mudara broke free the corporate world and followed his real passion with PRJKT8. That part clearly resonates with me. It is truly such a pleasure to collaborate with someone who loves watchmaking as much as us.

Maximilian Büsser CEO of MB&F

When I met Ali 10 years ago, I immediately understood that we both share the same passion for watchmaking and the same vision for a younger and more contemporary approach to promote and retail timepieces.

We are proud to work with him and we value his feedback as it pushed us to improve and go beyond.

Manuel Emch CEO of Louis Erard

Working with Ali, Husain, and the PRJKT8 team has been a remarkable experience for us at Czapek & Cie. Ali’s passion for horology and innovative retail approach truly set him apart.

Our philosophy, “We Collect Rare People,” reflects our relationship—Ali is one of those rare individuals who embodies our commitment to craftsmanship and customer engagement. Together, we are not just selling watches; we are sharing stories and crafting memories for our clients.

We look forward to continuing this journey with PRJKT8 and engaging more watch enthusiasts and collectors.
