Indian watchmaking isn't just a ticktock tale; it's a legacy. HMT kicked off our love affair with timepieces over 60 years ago, and since then, watchmaking has become a European import as ubiquitous as chai and cricket.

So, whether you're a casual collector or a hardcore horologist, here are some recent homegrown launches that deserve a spot on your wrist.
