WatchTime US

WatchTime featured Forty-Seven, Bangalore Watch Company's first pocket watch, written by Sabine Zwettler. The article notes how pocket watches are having a moment, pointing to the buzz around the pocket watch, before turning to Bangalore Watch Company's own take on the format.

The story is of the year 1947 itself, when India gained independence with a literacy rate of around 12 percent and a per-capita income of about $50.
