OUR HISTORY
THE BEGINNING OF 19TH CENTURY
Yafa, Palestine
The beginning of CONSTANTLY traces back to the beginning of the 19th century.
In the workshop of a watchmaker in Yafa, Palestine, a mother of three children is about to make an agreement with a relative watchmaker to teach her eldest son named Subhi Aldabbagh as an apprentice.
This day marks the beginning of a big family tradition. The agreement was about the daily exchange of a lunchbox for teaching him. Day in and day out, he continued to learn, until he had mastered all the secrets of watchmaking.

A LEGACY IN TIME: THE WATCHMAKING HERITAGE
Subhi Al-Dabbagh I
The story was passed down by the first-generation watchmaker, Subhi Aldabbagh I, who as a young man began to learn all the mysteries of watchmaking from his relative.
He started his own business in 1940 during the troubled times of the Second World War.
Terrible years had come suddenly but with bravery and high ambitions he went through all the challenges. It was a long and tough road which he was able to conquer.
It was difficult for him to fight against life's downturns. In 1948 during the Nakba, the military arm of the Zionist movement expelled Palestinians from their homes and lands. Suddenly he lost everything, his workshop was destroyed. He was forced to flee his native country with his family, carrying a dream of one day returning. One day the palestinian people got a promise to return to their homeland, but this promise has never been fulfilled. After an almost unbearable episode of his life, he struggled against new constant challenges. He had a big passion for watches. He fastened a board to a belt, using it as a table, to walk around and repair watches in the camp where he lived for a while after fleeing. Soon he could again stay on his own feet and make the impossible possible.
Driven by nature, with his mind engrossed in dreams of a bright future and his hands at the watchmaker's table, my grandfather continued to express his passion for watches. Despite all the challenges, he did not give up, and over the years he gained huge experience. As a result, he made his name and became a successful and renowned watchmaker.
