Commissioned in the 1990s for the Grand Mosque in Muscat by the Sultan Qaboos Bin Said al-Said, the present timepiece was created in a limited run of 12 examples and which features elegant enamel designs inspired by the Islamic artwork in the Grand Mosque in Muscat.

With specific interest, the present timepiece was presented by the Sultan Qaboos Bin Said al-Said as a gift to the former U.S. Ambassador to Oman.
