The Story
“Shah Jahan's Red Fort — the Lahori Gate ramparts from which India's flag is raised each Independence Day — engraved into mother-of-pearl and signed 'Red Fort · Delhi', paired with a Lotus gate on the flip side.
The Red Fort edition of the Gates of India flip watch renders Shah Jahan's 17th-century Mughal citadel in hand-worked mother-of-pearl — the same ramparts from which the Prime Minister addresses the nation every 15 August. Flip the case and Jaipur's Lotus gate appears; a TMI dual-movement quartz keeps two time zones. Handcrafted over roughly seven weeks, it turns the most politically charged building in India into a piece of wrist-worn miniature architecture.
