At Jaipur Watch Company, timepieces chime in step with India’s march to freedom. “As you know, 90% of our watches revolve around the British India era,” the founder Gaurav Mehta elucidates. “However, this particular series features the first coin made by the Republic of India launched on January 26, 1950.” Debuting as a part of their latest Eternal collection, the One Pice Coin Watch epitomises the subcontinent’s transition to a self-governing nation. Rewinding to when homegrown motifs such as the majestic bull and Ashok Stambh were first incorporated, Mehta painstakingly traces the transition from colonial currency to a sovereign identity trickling into our coinage, representing a significant chapter in India’s history. 

Limited edition and crafted with impeccable precision, only 300 of these coveted treasures are available for discerning connoisseurs. Each piece was meticulously composed over five months–from conception to the final assembly.

Keeping Pace With The Culture

“The perception of watches has shifted,’ Mehta reveals, “from everyday accessories to luxury collectables that showcase exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.” The timekeepers at Jaipur Watch Company have adapted to this transformation by engraving their creations with narrative depth and artisanal legacy. The watch’s case, forged from the finest silver tone, available in both steel and gold plating exudes a bygone grandeur that is both captivating and sophisticated. Its ethereal mother-of-pearl dial, adorned with sapphire accents, showcases the iconic galloping horse — symbolising our country’s monumental leap into liberty. Beneath its elegant exterior, the watch features a state-of-the-art NH 35 movement, durability and scratch resistance seamlessly integrated into its design. 

Tuned Into An Eternal Movement

“As we approach Independence Day, the Eternal Watch Collection stands as a poignant tribute to our nation’s journey,” Mehta emphasises. “This watch is more than a fashion accessory, it is a symbol of India’s rich heritage and the spirit of freedom.” For those who appreciate the finer things in life, the One Pice Coin Watch scales the pinnacle of luxury, offering an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of India’s rich heritage.
