Three Perspectives. One Standard.

The Madras Meridian

 The Anchor of History

Before time was global, it was local. Inspired by the 1792 granite pillar that served as India’s primary longitude, the Meridian is our flagship. It is a watch for those who provide the coordinates for others to follow.

  • Aesthetic: Architectural, stone-grey textures, and a monolithic presence.
  • The Detail: A vertical "Meridian Line" bisecting the dial in polished steel.

The 1792 Zenith

The Astronomical Peak
A celebration of the Madras Observatory’s completion. This is a timepiece of pure intellectual curiosity, designed for the observer. It captures the moment the stars align with the calculations of man.

  • Aesthetic: Open-heart mechanics revealing the rhythmic "pulse" of the movement.
  • The Detail: Exposed brass gears and blued-steel screws, mirroring 18th-century transit instruments.

The Southern Solstice

 The Celestial Cipher
While the North claims the narrative, the South holds the stars. This model is calibrated to the Southern sky, featuring complications that honor the path of the sun as seen from the Madras coast.

  • Aesthetic: Midnight violet dial with a celestial map etched in silver.
  • The Detail: A Southern Hemisphere moonphase—showing the moon exactly as it appears above the Bay of Bengal.
