Arafat Mohammad Kabir, a Geneva-based Bangladeshi entrepreneur, founded Kabir Watches & Co some 25 years ago in Switzerland. Kabir Watches retails world-famous, luxurious Swiss watch brands locally and imports the timepieces to Bangladesh also.

Mr Kabir, whose basic background was in the travel and tourism industry, hailed originally from greater Chattogram region. This window-shopper became a passionate mechanical watchmaker in 2015 and specialized in vintage watches.
