Fifth Wrist Radio

In the latest episode of the Independent Thinking Show by Bithrist Radio, hosts Roman and Adam sit down with Nirupesh Joshi, co-founder of Bangalore Watch Company. The conversation charts the six-and-a-half-year journey of building one of India’s most admired modern watch brands - from a small 10-member team in Bangalore to making waves across global watch circles. With no prior experience in the watch trade, Nirupesh Josh and his wife Mercy transitioned from careers in tech and consulting to pursue a shared passion sparked during their time in Hong Kong, where the watch bug first bit them.

The episode also explores the philosophy behind the brand name Bangalore Watch Company and how it reflects their belief in making watches from India, for the world. Nirupesh Joshi emphasizes that their storytelling resonates with audiences far beyond borders. Whether it's the Mach 1 pilot watch, the cricket-inspired Cover Drive, or the latest Peninsula Professional collection, their goal remains the same: to craft exceptional watches that reflect the modern Indian spirit.
