This exquisite watch, crafted in 18k gold plate, holds immense historical and cultural significance, and stands as a unique masterpiece with an appraised value of GH¢100,000.00.

Designed as a testament to the regal legacy of the Asantehene, the watch is a one-of-a-kind creation, affirming the unique status of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II as its sole owner.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Warrior King Heritage timepiece encapsulates the essence of royalty and power.

Every element has been carefully chosen to symbolise the exceptional leadership qualities embodied by the Asantehene. The watch’s bold and elegant design reflects the regal demeanour of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, capturing his charisma and influence.

The King’s customised piece was presented by Hourhand Watch CO’s CEO, Patrick Amofah, at the Awukudae grand durbar at Manhyia, on Wednesday, July 5, 2023.

This horological masterpiece will be a treasured possession in the collection of the Asantehene, as he becomes the sole owner of this extraordinary 1/1 watch.

The presentation represents a gesture of gratitude for Otumfuo’s tireless efforts in preserving the rich heritage of the Asante people and advancing their collective well-being.
