The art of looking closer01 / Family & beginnings
An interest shared.
A path of her own.
Nour grew up around a family business working with watches and gemstones. Her father has spent years in this field across different countries. His experience and encouragement sparked her interest in how watches work and how they might be designed.
That connection is the starting point for Lumière de la Guidance: a personal journal about the objects, ideas and stories that invite a closer look.
Here, curiosity becomes a practice — reading the history, studying the details and asking what gives a watch its character.
02 / A personal perspective
Inspired by the past.
Looking ahead.
Nour dreams of having a watch company of her own. This journal gives that ambition room to develop: a place to learn, explore design and discover a personal point of view.
Her journey begins with attention — to a shape, a mechanism, a choice of colour, or an idea that continues to matter.
