hen we launched the Peninsula collection in 2025, it was about celebrating the mountains, oceans, and forests. This time, we are shifting our focus to cities. Our cities are home to just 2% of the worlds’ population but contribute 70% of the carbon footprint. Peninsula Carbon is a reminder of that reality”, said Mercy Amalraj, Co-Founder of the brand.

For this project, the brand has developed a proprietary material called ReforgeCarbon™; each dial is formed by compressing carbon fibres and recovered carbon black within a thermoset resin under high pressure — producing a material that is exceptionally lightweight, structurally strong, and visually unlike anything produced by conventional carbon fibre manufacturing.

Recovered carbon black (rCB) is a fine carbon material obtained through the pyrolysis of end-of-life industrial byproducts — materials that would otherwise be subject to uncontrolled burning and released as pollutants into the atmosphere. We are proud of our material contribution to this project with Bangalore Watch Company™, said Tejas Sidnal, CEO and Founder of Carbon Craft, a Bangalore based material science company that worked with Bangalore Watch Company™ on this project.

“For most of human history, we did not live in permanent settlements. But today, the cities are the engines of economic growth and human ambition’ the biggest consequence of this is Carbon. Peninsula Carbon begins with that reality. It is not a sustainability argument, but a cultural statement. We have taken actual particulate matter and turned it into a precision object for our wrists”, says Nirupesh Joshi, Co-Founder of the brand.

The watch also replaces the traditional minute track with a mock-AQI meter. With numbers and colors graduating from 50 in green, all the way to 500 in deep red. The watch keeps the same clean, bezel-less design. The case is made from 316L stainless steel and paired with a super domed sapphire crystal, with 200 metres of water resistance. Inside, it is powered by a highly accurate Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve.

The Peninsula Carbon is offered as a single execution, a limited edition of 100 pieces. Each watch carries its own unique dial structure, shaped by the process that forms it. No two watches will look alike, and every piece is individually numbered. The Peninsula Carbon watch will be priced at USD 3,000 (INR 2,83,000) and can be ordered via the brand’s website.
