Monochrome Watches

Monochrome recently published an article by Rik Slaven that traces the history of Indian watchmaking, from the early days of HMT to the emergence of a new generation of independent brands shaping the industry today.

The article looks at how watchmaking in India evolved through different phases. He mentions Bangalore Watch Company™, noting how the brand approaches watchmaking through stories rooted in contemporary India. The article references collections inspired by aviation, cricket, space exploration, and the outdoors, reflecting a broader shift towards watches that connect with modern Indian experiences rather than traditional themes.

For us, the story of Indian watchmaking is still being written. We are proud to be part of a new chapter that builds on the country's manufacturing heritage while creating watches that speak to India's present and future. Read the full article on Monochrome here.
