At Gharyal, we are proud to be part of the esteemed Sonraj family, a name synonymous with luxury in Pakistan. Our story begins in 1975, when Mr Abdul Sattar Abbas Omer met with a senior representative of an esteemed Swiss watch brand during a business trip to Switzerland. The casual, friendly discussions that ensued evolved into something extraordinary, marking the inception of Sonraj.
Driven by his passion for luxury watches, Mr. Abdul Sattar Abbas Omer achieved a remarkable milestone in the Pakistani market. With unwavering determination in 1981, he opened the country's first Swiss watch boutique. This momentous step introduced Swiss watches to Pakistani enthusiasts and heralded a new era of appreciation for fine timepieces.
Mr. Abdul Sattar Abbas Omer's relentless pursuit of his passion earned him the nickname "Ghari Wala" in the Saddar markets, cementing his reputation as a pioneer in the luxury watch industry in Pakistan.
Mr Rameez Sattar, the son of Mr Abdul Sattar, has since taken the helm, furthering his father's legacy with a passion for art and luxury under Mr Rameez Sattar's visionary leadership Sonraj introduced its first 'Collectibles' multi-brand boutique on Zaibunnisa Street in 1997. Representing a unique blend of world-renowned Swiss brands, Collectibles quickly became the go-to destination for watch enthusiasts.
Over the years, Sonraj has forged partnerships with renowned luxury brands, including Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Hublot, Omega, and many more. As the official partner of these prestigious brands in Pakistan, Sonraj established itself as the country's premier purveyor of luxury timepieces and ‘Collectibles' has expanded into a nationwide chain, with 11 boutiques all over Pakistan.
In addition, to provide a comprehensive luxury experience for watch enthusiasts in Pakistan, Sonraj has established world-class service centres in Pakistan, ensuring exceptional repair and after-sales services for luxury watches. Among them, the flagship service centre is located in Zamzama, Karachi.
