Amr Sindi aka “The Horophile”

Behind “The Horophile” and his now famous playful rabbit lurks the hybrid Amr Sindi, one of the web’s most impactful influencers.

ArtyA Son of Sound ‘Union Jack’ chronograph appears in Paris Match French Magazine

It needed to be daring! This shape embodies the upper end of an instrument’s neck, where everything is harmonized and tuned.
