The Stunning Arrival of Swiss Watches in India!
Don’t Miss The Powerful Swiss Watches Tour: Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Mumbai
With a breathtaking display, the lovely history of Swiss watchmaking has arrived in India, while time is running out! With the watch, the Swiss Embassy in India is bringing a piece of their incredible craftsmanship and rich heritage to Ahmedabad. The Swiss Exhibition Tour will begin on October 31 and run through November 9, 2025, at Palladium Ahmedabad. It’s more than simply a show; it’s an engaging experience created to help everyone appreciate and comprehend the fascinating world of timepieces.
This is a huge tour that begins in Ahmedabad! This is the initial phase before the show travels to New Delhi (Select Citywalk, January 5–14) and Mumbai (Phoenix Palladium, December 5–14).
One of the most fascinating stories in the world of luxury goods is that of Switzerland’s watchmaking industry. You know, this field wasn’t always dominated by the Swiss. During the 16th and 17th centuries, intelligent people, some of whom were seeking religious freedom, settled in Switzerland as timepieces were just beginning to get tiny enough to carry. Farmers and villagers had plenty of time indoors to become skilled at this delicate job because of the long, cold winters when they began manufacturing these tiny watches. Switzerland became the world leader in fine watchmaking because of their emphasis on producing large quantities of high-quality timepieces, which provided it a significant advantage over other nations.
The watch.swiss show is intended to be both entertaining and instructive. Like a secret guide to mastering Swiss watches, it is divided into seven major topics. These encompass a wide range of topics, including the nation of Switzerland, the definition of “Swiss Made,” the lengthy history, the exquisite designs, the remarkable accuracy, the manufacturing process, and those challenging “complications.” Imagine being in front of an enormous photograph of a breathtaking Swiss landscape—ideal for a picture! or having the opportunity to pretend to be a real watchmaker at a designated workstation.
Swiss watches have hundreds of years of history, are incredibly dependable and long-lasting, and have a sophisticated design, which are the main reasons they are so well-known.
Visitors will witness how Swiss watches have a unique authority because of their lengthy history. However, the true magic lies in the “complication watches.” Anything that a watch does other than display the time (hours, minutes, and seconds) is referred to as a watch complication. The date—a little window displaying the day’s number—is the most basic complication. More sophisticated ones are similar to a chronograph, which has a built-in stopwatch, or a moon phase, which displays the moon’s position in the sky. A watch is a true work of miniature engineering when it contains a lot of these unique characteristics! Fitting hundreds of tiny springs and gears into such a small area requires extraordinary dexterity.
Thanks to a strong collaboration with Ethos Watches, the leading luxury watch store in India, this amazing event is taking place. Four well-known Swiss watch brands will be on display in a chilled, exclusive section of Ethos’ Palladium Ahmedabad store, which is renowned for having the largest and greatest assortment of luxury timepieces in the nation. After the Indian government made it simpler to import pricey timepieces into the nation in 2003, Ethos’s prosperity started. It was really difficult prior to that! Ethos has contributed to the development of a true watch-loving culture in India by providing watches at costs comparable to those found overseas and providing excellent local repair and service. They even established a unique marketplace for used timepieces and a cutting-edge repair facility!
Ethos Watches is giving away two Swiss timepieces to provide even more excitement! Starting on Friday, October 31st, anyone can participate in their Instagram contest. On Monday, November 10th, a fortunate winner will be chosen. What a wonderful way to commemorate the show!
The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH is the organisation organising this entire event. Consider them the official head of the Swiss watch industry. Over 90% of all Swiss businesses that manufacture and market timepieces and their components are among their nearly 500 members! Their primary responsibilities are to safeguard the watch industry, support its expansion, and ensure that the world is aware of the unique qualities of Swiss timepieces.
They are also the ones who put in a lot of effort to safeguard the well-known “Swiss Made” badge, combating counterfeit timepieces and ensuring that the regulations governing its use are stringent in order to maintain high standards of quality. With a rich history dating back to the 1870s, the FH works tirelessly every day to preserve the Swiss watchmaking heritage in both Switzerland and nations like India. Their purpose is perfectly exemplified by this show.
