You may not know us yet.
The watch press does.
Before you trust us, hear from the people whose job is to be hard to impress. This is what they wrote when our first timepiece was unveiled in Geneva.
“One of the most confident and well thought out debut watches I’ve come across in a while.”
“The timepiece, in its whole, is best perceived as a genuine novelty.”
“A subtle but meaningful rethinking of what a chronograph can and should be today.”
“There are few brands, if any, which boast Indian roots while being developed in the hotbed of watchmaking in Switzerland.”
Since Geneva, collectors have held it at watch fairs in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Bordeaux, the UK, Singapore and Mumbai.
Something new, from
the home of watchmaking
Imagine a place where watches have been made for three hundred years, where almost every shape has already been drawn. Then imagine Switzerland awarding your new watch design a design patent.
That is what happened to us. We spent more than a year designing this timepiece, never thinking of awards, only of making the finest chronograph we could. Then Switzerland awarded us design patents for the case, the crown, the pushers and the dial numerals. The European Union followed, for the same four. Then China, for the case. Then the United States, after its examiners judged our case new, original and not obvious.
So the timepiece on your wrist is not a variation of something you have seen before. It is ours, and soon it can be yours.
Design patents
on three continents
“To be able to realize patent-worthy novelty in a nation where the tradition has been in practice from multiple centuries, speaks of the volumes of nuances to gain from this watch.”
Recognised beyond
the watch world
Watch writers judge watches. The Red Dot jury judges design across every field. To stand out there, a design has to speak to people who may never have owned a mechanical watch.

A timepiece you will
keep looking at
Every detail was drawn for this timepiece alone. Take a moment with each one.
123456789- 1The caseMorning light runs along the ridged flanks, finely bead-polished so they glow softly rather than glare. The round bezel is calm and pure.
- 2The lugsShort, sculpted lugs curve down to meet your wrist, and inside the lower right lug sits a tiny Swiss cross, a quiet promise that every timepiece is Swiss Made.
- 3The crownGenerous and easy to grip, engraved with the chakra, the ancient wheel of time, so every time you set the hour, you touch a symbol of time itself.
- 4The pushersSquare, polished by hand, standing proudly on either side of the crown. Press one, and it answers with a crisp, confident click.
- 5The crystalA dome of sapphire rises over the dial, catching reflections like a drop of water and drawing your eye into the depths beneath.
- 6The minute trackEvery single minute has its own number, set in two rings that rise and fall like a heartbeat. Every third minute glows orange: twenty quiet reminders in every hour that a few minutes can change everything.
- 7The handsPolished teardrops, slender and graceful, catching the light as they glide. The chronograph hands are bright orange, waiting for the moment you choose to measure.
- 8The chakraAt 9 o’clock, a small sculpted wheel turns and never rests while the timepiece runs. It is often the first thing people notice, and the first question they ask.
- 9The countersRich colour with a soft, grained texture. Two vintage ivory counters sit like small moons, their fine circular grooves shimmering as you turn your wrist.
The dial you love by day
stays with you through the night.
When the lights go down, the whole minute track and the hands glow softly.
Sky or earth:
which one is you?
Vaanam
the sky
Deep indigo, like the sky at dusk when the day’s work is done and tomorrow’s plans begin. For the man who looks ahead: the founder with the next idea, the leader who sets the direction.
Bhoomi
the earth
Warm red-brown with a soft grain, like rich earth after rain. For the man who builds: steady, grounded, the one people rely on.
Whichever you choose, it is for a man who would rather wear something with meaning than something everyone else wears.
One timepiece for every
moment of your day
Most men own several watches: one for the office, one for sport, one for the evening. This one does it all. You only change the strap.
Steel mesh bracelet. Sharp, quiet, assured. Time the meeting that matters at a glance.
Click, and the orange rubber strap is on in under five seconds, no tools. Water-resistant to 100 m, it goes wherever you do.
Back to steel mesh, or the dial-matched rubber strap for a relaxed evening. The same timepiece, completely at home.
You barely
feel it.
The back of the case is a dome of sapphire crystal, so sapphire, not steel, rests on your skin. Short lugs hold it close. On the wrist, it feels almost weightless.
Precision
you can feel
Press the pusher. A firm, clean click, and the orange hand sweeps away. Press again, and it stops exactly where you asked. A small, satisfying moment, every single time.
Inside beats a Swiss movement by La Joux-Perret, one of Switzerland’s most respected movement makers, with the finer mechanism usually found in prestige chronographs.
“What really captured my attention … was not the case or the dial, but the movement.”
Turn it over and watch it breathe behind sapphire crystal, winding itself as you move. Every timepiece is hand-assembled and tested in Neuchâtel.
The moment
it arrives
Picture the box at your door. Japanese paulownia wood, warm to the touch, tied with a cord. You untie it slowly.
It is a gift worthy of a beginning: a wedding, a graduation, a promotion, the birth of a child. Or a gift to yourself, for a moment you have earned.
And it is looked after for five years. If it ever needs care, it comes home to Switzerland, and we pay the shipping both ways.

A letter
from Krish
We are a small, independent team in Neuchâtel. We don’t have a famous name yet.
What we do have are design patents on three continents, praise from the watch press, and a timepiece we are proud to wear every day, from the office to the weekend.
When you back Vaanam or Bhoomi, you become one of the first people in the world to wear them. I would be honoured to have you with us.
