The Story
“The Charminar of Hyderabad — its four minarets carved into mother-of-pearl and signed 'Charminar · Hyderabad' — behind a flip case whose other face carries the Leheriya-patterned gate of Jaipur's City Palace.
One of the Gates of India flip watches, this pairs Jaipur's own Leheriya gate on one face with the Qutb Shahi Charminar on the other, the 1591 Hyderabad landmark hand-engraved into mother-of-pearl. A TMI dual-movement quartz drives two independent time displays, and each piece takes around seven weeks to finish in Jaipur. It is a whole city's silhouette shrunk onto a 38mm dial — proof that JWC treats architecture as seriously as it treats coins.
