How it all began...
Hey!! :)
Welcome to our site www.saazone.com :)
Thank You so much for visiting us and we hope you will get the Casio Timepiece of your dreams from our Collection :)
My name is Alanwar and my love for timepieces began when i was a little 6 year old boy...
It was my birthday and my parents presented me with this Amazing Rubber belted timepiece which had like woof woof written in 3D on the belt and cute little cartoons of dogs...It's funny how i remember that timepiece in such vivid detail :)
Oh I LOVED that timepiece...I could only wear it when we went out so i was always looking forward to the weekends when i knew my mum would open that drawer...remove the case in which my prized possession lay and give me to wear it on my wrist :)
Somewhere along the way I ended up losing it(apparently my parents were not surprised..they were just waiting for when this day would come :P )
Days went on to become weeks which went on to become years but i never stuck with any timepiece for long...And I never even felt any connection to any of them the way i had connected with that first timepiece of mine..You know what they say about your first love :P
Then while in university pursuing a business administration course in USIU I realized that the online market was something new and exciting entering the realm of our beautiful country :)
At that time i had a tour company,was enjoying myself with wedding photography and even had a blog about inspiring individuals in Kenya...
It was a Saturday night and I was just chilling at home,perusing through google on the online market dynamics when i saw 12 timepieces of a brand called Citron just laying there in the sitting room(a friend of my father had brought them around for dad to sell them at his shop)
So i just took a few picture on my phone..edited them and sent them on whatsapp to my friends...It was pretty late so i decided to call it a day and hit the sack...
I wake up the next morning to the sounds of whatsapp messages hitting my inbox...My friends loved the timepieces and by midday that day I had sold out all 12 pieces :)
I went like...okay..now this is interesting...
The rest they say is history...( I just put that in cause it sounded cool :P)
No people did not come knocking on my door for those timepieces...While i was actually talking to the supplier to get me more pieces a few days later i get a whatsapp message that the belt of one of the timepieces is broken...I'm like okay..happens i guess...
I wasn't so happy when 6 of them were returned though...
Short of it all was that i refunded all their money back and almost gave up on the whole idea...
However i decided to do more thorough research and give this thing another shot...
A few months and quite a number of brands later it happened...
Then one day...I came across it...the other timepiece I would fall shamelessly in love with :)
It was a Leather Belt Casio Edifice with a square dial...I bought it for 14,000kshs. which basically messed up my budget for the better part of the month and I knew...Casio was the one I was going to introduce to the Kenyan Market :)
At the same time other entrepreneurs had the same idea of selling timepieces but unfortunately they fell for the lure of the cheap Chinese watches(all the brands i had burnt through before discovering Casio)
Honestly I am here today 9 Years into the Timepiece Online Selling Market because of my family,friends and all the customers who supported me and my vision to bring Quality Casio Timepieces to Kenya :)
Many people ask me why i focus only on Casio and why i refrain keep all the other brands too...My answer to them always is and always will be...Casio is the only affordable timepiece maker that i assure and guarantee you on my life that you will hand it over to the next generation :)
