Carbon
HIGHLIGHTs:
WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT:
ReforgeCarbon™ is created by combining a forged carbon composite with rCB (Recovered Carbon Black) sourced from Pyrolysis of industrial waste and end of life materials. The combination of the forged carbon with the deep black texture of rCB makes the dials rich, with a unique pattern that makes no two dials alike.
A highlight is also the mock-AQI meter that replaces the traditional minute track. With numbers graduating from 50 – 500, and colours matching from a soft-green to a deep-amber, the dial is a reminder of the carbon consequences each time you look at it.
This watch is not a sustainability statement, but a cultural claim.
With a 200 Meter water-tight case, a Swiss automatic movement for accuracy, a dial with bright Super-Luminova® for blinding night-light, and a Fluoro-elastomer strap for all weather comfort, the Carbon is a fantastic all-rounder with a unique story like no other watch in your collection.
BACKSTORY OF THIS WATCH:
When we discovered farming, it changed the history of human civilization. For the first time, we settled down, built permanent homes, and formed the world’s first villages.
That was 8,000 years ago.
Today, most humans live in cities. There are 37 megacities in the world, each with a population of more than 10 million people. Six of those are in India alone.
These metros are not just human settlements; they’re the engines of progress, trade, architecture, economy, and most of all, icons of human ambition.
But there is a consequence: Carbon.
This watch captures that particulate matter recovered from urban air and transforms into a permanent artifact on your wrist. This is not a sustainability claim, but a cultural statement.
This watch reflects modern India’s cities – their energy, their evolution, and reminds us of the greatness the cities hold, but also of the carbon consequences of our progress.

What is ReforgeCarbon™
ReforgeCarbon ™ is a proprietary carbon composite material developed by Bangalore Watch Company ™.
How we did it
ReforgeCarbon ™ is formed by compressing carbon fibres and recovered carbon black (rCB) within a thermoset resin under high pressure and then processed to our specifications to be used in our watch dials. The rCB used in ReforgeCarbon™ is sourced from Carbon Craft, a Bangalore-based design and material innovation company specialising in low-carbon-footprint industrial materials.
Unique Dial Patterns
The pattern on your dial is not a design applied to the surface — it is the surface.
The random distribution of carbon fibres during compression means that no two dials are identical. Each piece carries its own pattern, a natural outcome of the process, not a design choice. In that sense, every watch is a singular object.
Not carbon fiber
Traditional carbon fibre uses woven sheets with a uniform pattern and does not include recovered carbon black. ReforgeCarbon™ is different. It uses randomly arranged chopped carbon fibres along with recovered carbon black in the material, giving it a more natural texture and a deep black finish. The result is a look and structure that feels completely different from standard carbon fibre.
Is this material safe?
Yes. ReforgeCarbon(TM) has been tested for compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards. This confirms that the material does not contain restricted substances. It is safe for everyday contact and long-term wear.
