In a landmark moment for luxury watch lovers and collectors across the country, renowned Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller Genève has officially launched a deeply spiritual timepiece made exclusively for India. Called the Franck Muller Vanguard “Ram Lalla” Limited Edition, this special watch celebrates Lord Ram in his beloved childhood form and draws direct inspiration from the sacred Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
Created in a special partnership with leading Indian luxury retailer Kapoor Watch Co., the timepiece was grandly unveiled at the Franck Muller Boutique in New Delhi. The launch brought together fine Swiss watchmaking and India’s rich cultural heritage, turning an everyday luxury accessory into a meaningful symbol of faith and tradition.
What makes this timepiece truly extraordinary is the level of skill and patience required to build it. The watch features a bold, curved case crafted in 18-carat rose gold, giving it a warm and royal appearance on the wrist. At the centre of the black dial sits a finely detailed, engraved image of Lord Ram in his childhood form. According to the makers, crafting each individual dial takes approximately 30 hours of delicate work, ensuring that every tiny feature of the deity is captured with perfection.
For Indian buyers and watch collectors, the numbers behind this release hold deep cultural meaning. The collection is strictly limited to just 108 individually numbered pieces worldwide. In Hindu tradition, 108 is considered a highly sacred number, making each watch feel less like a standard luxury product and more like a personal, blessed keepsake. Powered by a reliable Swiss automatic mechanical movement and priced at ₹31,25,000, the watch pairs classic engineering with modern comfort through a sleek black strap. By blending world-class artistry with devotion, Franck Muller and Kapoor Watch Co. have created a rare collector item that speaks directly to the heart of modern India.
