Ends ... the oldest watch store in Egypt and the Arab world ..⭕ It was on 26th of July Street “Bulaq Abu Al-Ela” in Cairo, there was the oldest store for the maintenance and sale of watches in Egypt and even the entire Arab world. .⭕ Omar Mahal Mahal has gone beyond 100 years and was established by Khawaja “Salmon Hinhayat” in 1907, and when he opened the shop, Khawaja Hanhayat appointed two employees in the shop, namely Mr. George and Hajj Ahmed Sayed. Haji Ahmed Sayed bought the entire store, as he eventually emigrated in the aftermath of the war.⭕ That ancient shop was preserving its elegance, beauty and décor entirely designed in Switzerland, in addition to containing a number of old and antique clocks, such as King Farouk’s clock, which dates back to the twenties of the last century, and an old Swiss watch engraved with a brand placed by the old shop’s owner, “Heinat”, which is the brand “Nomolas Watch.” Where the shop was the official agent in Egypt and called the Queen of Watches, she was 140 years old, that is, before the establishment of the shop - and it is strange that if she was read from the left, she would read the name of the shop owner and work efficiently to date.⭕ One of the stores possessions was also the watch of the Misr Insurance company, and it was equipped with a money box, in which coins are placed inside it and give the sound of music in order to encourage children to save. There is also the British High Commissioner’s watch, as well as a number of pocket watches and old hands, which the current store manager has been collecting over the past years. This is in addition to gold, silver and diamond watches of the finest types, Brixi, Fixi, Rolexy, Omega and T-Suit, and the price of some watches reaches 250 thousand pounds.⭕ In one of the press conversations Mr. Essam Ahmad Ibn Al-Hajj Syed Ahmed Mustafa, the grandfather who bought the shop from Al-Khawaja Salmon Haniyat, indicated that he still kept the notebook for the stores customers since its inception, as Al-Khawaja was very careful in allocating a page to each customer who are from him The people, including King Fuad, King Farouk, Saad Zaghloul and Mustafa Al-Nahhas, and artists Najeeb Al-Rihani, Youssef Bey Wahbi, Zaki Rostum, Tahia Carioca, Umm Kulthum, Abdel Halim Hafez, Mustafa Amin, Tawfiq Al-Hakim and Mustafa Mahmoud, also monopolized the place maintaining the hours of the army officers and soldiers The Englishman in his barracks across Egypt before their evacuation in 1954, as well as the foreign employees of the Suez Canal Authority.⭕ One of the pieces that the ancient store was proud of was “the alarm of King Farouk”, and it has a funny story that Mr. Essam tells in one of the press interviews, he says: “The alarm was broken in the forties and was brought to the shop for maintenance, and all (watchmakers) in the shop were unable to repair it. However, my father was able to do that even though he was only 11 years old at the time, and when the alarm clock returned to the king and he learned the story of the child who fixed it, he decided to give him the alarm as a reward, and then he found the store since that time.⭕ The most important thing that this ancient shop represented was its symbolism on the extent of cohesion and national unity in the golden age of Egypt, so the owners of the shop were Khawaja Elihu. Dee and his friend Al-Khawaja George the Christian and Hajj Syed Al-Muslim. In August 2018, the shop was demolished, making it an immortal memory in the hearts of Egyptians.
