WatchTime India Magazine - Sports Watches - 2025

In this issue

Laurent Ferrier’s 15th anniversary watch, the Sport Auto 79, graces the cover of our annual Sports Watches Issue - it’s a timepiece that carries deep significance for its founders, which is highlighted in the attention to detail seen in this sporty integrated bracelet watch. 

The issue comes packed with features that turn the spotlight on ‘Sports Watches’. Setting the tone is the annual report highlighting the best sports watches of the year, while another one looks at how the worlds of automobiles and timepieces collaborate. We have deep dived into TAG Heuer’s groundbreaking TH-Carbonspring, and also shed light on how carbon is being used in watches. Ulysse Nardin recently opened its first standalone boutique in the country, and through a conversation with Alain Sponem, Chief Operating and Finance Officer of the Sowind Group, of which Ulysse Nardin is a part, we discover more about this milestone move and how the brand has evolved over the past couple of years. We also take a look at independent British watchmaker Bremont, and speak to CEO Davide Cerrato how the brand is building a distinct presence in the tool watch space.

In our collector stories, Mumbai-based chef and sports nutritionist Himanil Khosla talks about how his collection is built on the strength of micro brands, while, Abhishek Bhattacharjee takes up the cause of the often-overlooked space watch, the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts Chronograph, and writes why it is his perfect daily beater. This issue also focuses on sport watches like Protek’s Xemex Off Road Compass, Aera’s first chronograph model, the C-1 Cloud, and Victorinox’s new Air Pro GMT.
