Bangalore Watch Company Secures Private Equity for Global Expansion

This strategic boost aims to position Bangalore Watch Company as a globally recognized independent watchmaker, leveraging India’s rising watch market and cultural influence to build a brand that is both Indian in origin and worldwide in perception.
