The Story
“India's first mechanical chronograph from an independent brand — the Shovalaram III. The grey dial wears the restraint of something that needed to earn its complications.
The Shovalaram III is a landmark: India's first mechanical chronograph from an independent micro-brand. Vikram Narula built it to prove that Indian watchmaking could handle complications beyond basic time. The slate grey dial keeps the focus on the movement — pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock, column wheel, lateral clutch. A mechanical achievement dressed in Indian restraint.

“You can go ahead with the purchase from ajwain watches as they have some really cool pieces i won't say they are value for money but they are slightly overpriced but you will get one of the best unboxing experience and overall the quality of the watches are good.”
“Sholavaram uses a chinese seagull movement but Kakori uses a japanese Miyota movement and mostly japanese movements are of superior quality and mechanism”
