KAPOOR WATCH CO
“We started off in 1967,” says Mr Sandeep Kapoor of Kapoor Watch Co. “At that time, of course, we were one of the first retail houses to start dealing in luxury watches in India, and we still have one of the biggest portfolios of luxury watch brands.”
Kapoor Watch Co believes in quality over quantity. It deals in brands like Rolex, Omega, Frank Muller, Roger Dubuis and Montblanc that count among the typical luxury brands and is the only authorised retailer for Audemars Piguet in India. It also offers brands like Breitling, Panerai and IWC that have a long history of tool watches, and in addition, luxury brands like Cartier and Bulgari.
Talking about the latest offerings in these brands, Kapoor highlights the launch of the 42mm Yacht-Master from Rolex and Audemars Piguet’s Code 11.59. Cartier has launched its Santos Skeleton Noctambule and Gradient Blue models. “Actually, the list goes on and on,” Kapoor says. “Though sometimes some brands launch special editions for India, there, however, are no launches exclusively for the Indian market, at present,” he adds.
The luxury watch market is booming right now, though, irrespective of the recent hike in customs duty to 20 per cent. “The demand for luxury watches has never been higher actually,” says Kapoor, who believes that the future holds great opportunities for the Indian market.
