Bangalore Watch Company
“21st century India. On your wrist.”
The most premium Indian micro-brand. Founded by husband-wife duo Nirupesh Joshi and Mercy Amalraj, BWC tells the story of modern India — ISRO space missions, the Indian Air Force, the INS Vikrant aircraft carrier, and cricket. Their Apogee series became the first Indian watch to be space-qualified and tested at the Karman Line. The Admiral edition used actual steel from INS Vikrant.
