angalore Watch Company’s Forty-Seven revisits the pocket watch through the story of modern India. The format evokes the mid-twentieth century, when the young nation began shaping its future.

The 46mm case measures 12mm thick and combines 316L steel with a rose gold PVD finish. An off-white linen-patterned dial and vintage-toned Super-LumiNova reinforce the historical references, beneath a domed K1 hardened crystal.

Inside, the Swiss-made Ronda 6004.D quartz movement offers a stated battery life of 40 months. Water resistance is 30 metres.

An oil-pulled leather lanyard allows the watch to be worn around the neck, clipped to the waist or carried in a bag. Optional caseback personalisation adds a private message to a timepiece conceived as both companion and personal keepsake.

Price: US$ 1,250
