What is Jaipur Watch Company?
Jaipur Watch Company is a watch brand founded in 2013 in Jaipur by Gaurav Mehta, who has a master's degree in risk management from the UK. It presented itself as India's first bespoke watchmaker.
Products and positioning
The brand's signature is the coin watch, inspired by Mehta's interest in numismatics. Early collections included:
- Imperial, with a King George VI coin set in the dial
- King, with a one piece coin dial
- Prêt, a more accessible men's line
- Envika, women's watches with Swarovski crystals
- A Peacock Feather watch with a real feather in the dial
Its designs draw on Indian history and motifs, as in its Roman Baagh watch, and the brand produces in limited quantities rather than in bulk.
Distribution
In its early years most sales were made offline through retail stores across India, complemented by online platforms and selected partners for the Prêt range.
Why it matters
Jaipur Watch Company is part of a small group of Indian independent watch brands, covered by trade titles such as Europa Star, that use heritage storytelling to build a premium domestic watch category.
