Outlook Luxe

Outlook Luxe featured an interview with Nirupesh Joshi, Co-Founder of Bangalore Watch Company, on the thinking behind Forty Seven, the brand's first pocket watch. The article explores why the story came before the format, the choice of a Swiss-made quartz movement over a mechanical one, and the reasoning behind opting for K1 hardened crystal instead of sapphire.

At the centre of the conversation is the 18-month development cycle behind Forty Seven, from designing a lanyard so the watch could be worn rather than left in a drawer, to showcasing it alongside the GPHG-nominated Peninsula Carbon at Geneva Watch Days as the brand looks toward a more global audience.

At Bangalore Watch Company, every collection begins with a story. Mach 1® watch collection honours aviation, Cover Drive celebrates cricket, Apogee® draws from India's achievements in space, and Peninsula has always looked to the landscapes around us. With Forty Seven, we go back to the years right after Independence, when a young nation began laying the foundations of what it would become. Read the full interview by Outlook Luxe here.
