The Story
“Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus — built in 1888, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the finest example of Victorian Gothic architecture outside Britain. The dial texture maps its facade.
CST was built in 1888 as Victoria Terminus — a cathedral of railway ambition, its gargoyles and turrets mixing Gothic revival with Hindu and Saracenic motifs. It still handles 3 million passengers daily. Chinmay Shah's AIQON rendered its stone texture on a dial and set it in a 40mm case. The most architecturally faithful watch on this list.
