Teddy Baldassarre recently published a review written by Nina Scally that looks at the rise of Indian watchmaking, describing it as India’s horological frontier. In the article, Bangalore Watch Company is highlighted as one of the brands helping shape this transition as India’s cultural and technological influence begins to reflect in the world of watch collecting.
The piece notes that for a long time, watches connected to India were often limited to predictable imagery such as elephants, snake charmers, or deities.
