Founder’s Perspective
The Genesis of Coin Watches: The inception of Jaipur Watch Company in 2013 was a blend of two passions – a lifelong fascination with coin collection and an innate love for horology. It was this fusion that birthed the concept of coin watches, aimed at revolutionizing India’s presence in the world of fine watchmaking.
Procurement of Coins: My journey with coin collection began in childhood, driven by the allure of history and stories behind each piece. Guided by Mr. Kothari, a revered numismatist, we meticulously curated coins to align with historical themes, sourcing them from collectors and numismatic societies.
Influence of Jaipur’s Heritage: Inspired by the regal heritage of Rajasthan, particularly Jaipur, Jaipur Watch Company resonates with the city’s rich cultural tapestry. Drawing from the intricate artistry and royal grandeur, our timepieces exude luxury while preserving the essence of traditional Jaipur craftsmanship.
A Niche Audience: Our timepieces cater to discerning connoisseurs who appreciate fine living and possess a profound appreciation for art and design aesthetics.
Challenges and Risks: Establishing a watchmaking brand in India posed inherent challenges, given the scarcity of fine watch brands and ancillary industries. However, over the years, we’ve cultivated in-house capabilities to navigate these obstacles and propel our vision forward.
Pride in Craftsmanship: One of our proudest moments was crafting a bespoke timepiece for His Highness Maharaja Gaj Singh, celebrating his love for polo. This exemplified our expertise in artisanal horology, blending tradition with innovation.
The Amitabh Bachchan Tribute: Crafting a unique timepiece for Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was an honor, symbolizing the actor’s legacy with a classic design embedded with a pre-independence coin and his signature.
Vision for the Future: In the next five years, Jaipur Watch Company aspires to be synonymous with innovation and excellence in the horological realm. We aim to redefine the boundaries of watchmaking, introducing pieces that showcase India’s rich heritage and craftsmanship to the world.
Jaipur Watch Company is not merely a watchmaker; it’s a custodian of heritage, a beacon of innovation, and a testament to India’s enduring legacy in the world of horology. Join us on this journey as we continue to push the boundaries of timekeeping and celebrate the art of watchmaking.
