Islam, Lawyer & Philanthropist

How did you get to where you are today?

I am originally from Egypt, having graduated from law school - I spent a few years working as a lawyer in Europe before deciding that I wanted to pursue a career in Human Rights. This led me to study at an international university in an effort to continue my education and expand my skill set as a lawyer. Several years later, I am now working in my dream field and pursuing new heights in a very rewarding career.

What are your plans for the near future?

Looking at the next few years ahead, I would like to further grow in my role at my current firm, and potentially open my own practice to represent refugees and migrants coming to Europe from troubled countries in the middle east. I believe that I was given a lot of opportunities and welcomed with open arms in Europe, and would like to "pass it forward."

What does time mean to you?

I believe that one must work with time, rather than being stuck in a race against it. This means developing a certain awareness of its value and the necessary skill set to manage this quintessential resource.

What do you believe makes a good watch?

Personally, I tend to lean towards minimalistic and classical watches. I've owned a number of luxury watches, and I've always been in love with models that manage to combine an elegant overall design, with bold and confident details that really bring the watch to life.

The Ambassador watches I've owned (and have so far worn on a near-everyday basis) have been possibly some of the best timepieces in my collection. I love how they've managed to combine a refined minimal, classical style, with a modern design and gorgeous details - creating a very unique and luxurious lineup of watches that easily rival many of the more exclusive models I've owned.
