3 min read
It is the final day of India Watch Weekend Collectors Edit and Jio World Plaza felt charged with a different kind of excitement. The kind that comes when everyone knows they have one last chance to soak in the energy, the learning and the camaraderie that defined the weekend. Guests arrived with renewed curiosity and conversations already buzzing, ready to enjoy a closing chapter filled with craft, style and a few indulgent surprises.
The afternoon opened with the Panerai watchmaking session, a perfect reminder of why hands on experiences are such a core part of the weekend. Watchmakers guided guests through movements and components with ease, bringing depth to collections that many already loved. Each explanation added a layer of appreciation, turning familiar watches into fresh discoveries.
Inside the various watch boutiques the excitement grew around as brands such as Bulgari unveiled a special watch viewing exclusively for this weekend. The display quickly became a crowd magnet and guests lingered for long conversations about the various watches on display. Comments on the design the craftsmanship filled the air and the rare opportunity to see these editions unveiled in such an intimate setting.
Soon after came a shift into pure style with the Panerai and Canali styling session led by stylist Antara Motiwala. The focus was on pairing a sharply tailored suit with the right watch, bringing the worlds of menswear and horology together in a way that felt both polished and approachable. Antara showcased four looks that illustrated how different Panerai collections speak to different moods. A formal suit paired effortlessly with the refined lines of the Radiomir. A sporty look aligned naturally with the Submersible and its confident spirit. A casual outfit found its match in the Luminor, relaxed yet unmistakably stylish. And a festive brown ensemble shone brightest with the Luminor Due, a piece that balances elegance with the celebration ready charm of Indian dressing.
“My pro tip for everyone is to always have your leather goods matching. If you watch is a brown leather strap then your belt and shoes should be the same colour. This year, a rich mocha mousse is trending and I think it’s a fantastic colour for Indian men as it effortlessly transitions from boardroom to ballroom. With more casual looks you can always add a fun strap colour to your watch as it will elevate your outfit letting your wrist do all the talking.”
Another highlight of the day came from Grand Seiko, which brought a quiet, poetic charm to the bustle of the plaza with a beautifully set up Serenity High Tea and origami corner. Guests were invited to take a look at the stunning watches on display and also take a quiet moment of zen with the origami experience. Folding delicate paper cranes and flowers inspired by Japanese artistry was a nod to the brand’s philosophy of precision, patience and natural beauty. The experience felt almost meditative, allowing people to slow down and appreciate the thoughtful craftsmanship that Grand Seiko brings to every watch. Many guests walked away with their own origami creations tucked safely into their bags, smiling at the unexpected serenity of the moment.
As evening approached The Dram Club brought everyone into the warm world of whisky tasting. The session focused on the art of identifying a good whisky through three simple steps. Look, smell and finally taste. Guests explored different varieties, compared colours, searched for aromas and savoured layers of flavour shaped by ingredients, cask types and regional styles. It was educational but also wonderfully playful, with people offering their own descriptions and discovering personal favourites along the way.
With glasses set down and conversations still flowing, Day three came to a gentle close. The final hours of India Watch Weekend Collector’s Edit felt like a celebration of everything the event stands for. Craft, style, community and the joy of discovering something new. Guests left with warm memories and the feeling that they had been part of something truly special. However, it is not the end. In fact, this is just the beginning as India Watch Weekend 2026 is set to delight watch lovers again on 17th and 18th January 2026. We can hardly wait.. will you be there?
