Speaking at the inauguration, Othman Al-Hussaini, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Al-Hussaini & Al-Yahya Investment Group said: “We are glad to operate in the Eastern Province after a long wait, and are grateful to the great trust of our customers who adore the Japanese brilliance and technical expertise in this sector.

“The boutique will showcase two of Seiko's most elegant and technically accomplished collections; namely, Grand Seiko and Seiko Astron. They include very attractive watches, each of which is considered an innovative masterpiece for sophisticated tastes,” he added.
 
Al-Hussaini & Al-Yahya Investment Group is part of the Al-Hussaini & Al-Yahya Group of Companies that was established in 1950. It is well known for its pioneering spirit and deep-rooted legacy in the luxury watch industry across the Kingdom for over half a century.
