The Surprising Watch Collection of Syria’s President Ahmed Al-Shara

Ivan Jul 24, 2026 2 min read

I first noticed Ahmed Al-Sharaa’s watch collection during his recent visit to Washington, where he met with U.S. President Donald Trump. While the meeting made headlines for its political significance, watch enthusiasts were quick to spot something else on the Syrian president’s wrist: a Patek Philippe World Time.

That immediately made me wonder whether it was just a one-off choice or if Al-Sharaa had a genuine interest in watches. After going through photos from his previous public appearances, it became clear that this wasn’t the first time he had worn an interesting timepiece. In fact, his collection turned out to be far more diverse than I expected.

From an affordable Seiko Kinetic and an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M to an Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 and multiple Patek Philippe World Time references, his watches span everything from everyday practicality to high-end Swiss horology. It’s an interesting mix that reflects different styles rather than sticking to a single luxury brand.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at every watch we’ve spotted on the wrist of the President of Syria, breaking down the references, their estimated values, and what makes each one stand out. Whether you’re here because of his recent Washington visit or simply curious about what world leaders wear on their wrists, here’s everything we’ve found so far.

I like watches — a lot. When I’m not geeking out over dials, bezels, and movements, I’m probably getting lost in an Xbox session, hopping on a plane to somewhere new, or hunting down my next favorite meal.
