Delving deep into the countries rich heritage for crafts, let’s explore a part of their portfolio dedicated to the ladies:

Nazakat

Now here is a collection of handcrafted timepieces exclusively designed for women.  This limited edition collection incorporates traditional Partaaz and Chattai work in 22 carat gold. Meticulously handcrafted in Kundan Polkhi and Meenakari designs, the stunning Nazakat watches are available in 12 exquisite designs. Did you know that the art of enamelling or “Meenakari” was actually alien to India until the turn of the 16th century? It was Raja Man Singh of Amber who brought skilful Minakars from the Moghul palace of Lahore and established them in Jaipur, making it the centre of Meenakari.

Inspired by the age-old tradition of gemstone jewellery and handcrafted exquisitely by artisans in Jaipur, Nazakat is priced between ₹ 3.5 lakhs - ₹ 7 lakhs.

Celebrating the magnanimity of Indian history and the art of words, the Calligraphy collection by NEBULA takes inspiration from three exquisite scripts – Modi, Siddham & Kufic. Each of these scripts go a long way in writing the glorious history. The grandeur of Modi script goes back to the great Maratha kings, the divinity of Siddham brought the majestic Mauryan kings to their knees and the poetic Kufic script brought to light the softer side of the greatest conquerors of the Mughal reign.

Taking inspiration from the grandeur of these scriptures and the flow and flourishes of a brush-stroke, these 18K solid gold timepieces are a luxurious interpretation of an art that is Calligraphy.

This intricate and mesmerising art that is immortalised on monuments and revered in sacred texts can now be admired on the wrists too. The collection is priced between ₹29,000 - ₹ 6.25 lakhs.
