Grand Unveiling at Rambagh Palace
Founder Gaurav Mehta lifted the lid on the Premium Baagh and Gates of India collections amid the carved jaalis and soaring chhatris of Jaipur’s historic Rambagh Palace. Each timepiece mirrors the palace’s architectural vocabulary, turning royal grandeur into wrist‑wearable art.
Designs Steeped in City Soul
The watches were crafted in close consultation with a Jaipur‑based design team, featuring Indian leather straps and khadi‑woven accents. Dials showcase the Lotus Gate, Leheriya Gate and the ornate archways of Pritam Niwas Chowk, allowing wearers to carry a piece of the Pink City’s heritage wherever they go.
Historical Background
Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Jaipur is renowned for its pink‑hued facades, intricate jaali screens, and regal chhatris. While Indian watchmaking dates back to the 19th century, the 21st‑century micro‑brand movement has revived local narratives, moving beyond Swiss imitation to celebrate indigenous art forms.
Why This Matters

"A watch is not just a time‑keeper; it’s a heartbeat of history and craftsmanship," notes renowned horology expert Anita Sharma.
