Mr Rameez Sattar, CEO of SONRAJ Pakistan, parent company of Collectibles thanked the Ambassador for her warm words saying “Twenty years ago, at our very first store in Blenkin Street, Karachi we made our first sale. It was a Vacheron and over the years since then we have been privileged to introduce many watchbrands to our customers, building brands and expanding the luxury watch category throughout Pakistan. Our vision has always been to represent the world’s best brands, train our staff to the highest levels and provide our customers with the very best in service. Twenty years on from that first sale I feel that we have only just begun. As long as Switzerland produces watches we will bring them to our customers with imagination and dedication. I look forward to the next twenty years !”
