#LuxuryJournal | The bridge-to-luxury segment is emerging as the most lucrative category for Swiss watches in India. Priced between ₹1and 5 lakhs, these products are positioned to serve the ever-growing first-time luxury watch buyers.

With young buyers from Tier II and III towns making purchases both offline and online, brands like Baume & Mercier are quickly establishing an ecosystem with tailor-made products, enhanced retail experience, and local brand ambassadors for easy connections.

We spoke to @baumeetmercier CEO @guenoun.michael, who was recently in India to announce the brand’s association with cricketer @shreyasiyer96 in New Delhi.

Here’s what he had to say about the brand’s roadmap in India.

No one knows who will win the 26th GPHG award on Nov 7, 2026, to be held at BFM Geneva. The entries and nominations (84) have been stupendous this year with many worthy contenders for the top award. Since many have asked me about my favourite, I am simply expressing my love for the Parmigiani Fleurier TONDA PF Chronographe Mystérieux that has been nominated in the Chronograph category. The watch stands out from the crowd for expressing Parmigiani Fleurier’s approach to the complication: mechanical intelligence designed around the wearer, with additional information appearing only when called upon, preserving the essential purity of the time display. 
While I named one favourite here, there are atleast four others who stand a chance to win the coveted #aiguilledor on the 7th
Comments welcome....

Quickly on food before fashion takes over at the Milan Fashion Week later today. Dropped by at one of faves at Milan, the Camparino bar located at the iconic Piazza del Duomo, inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. 
Known for making the best Negronis in the world, history says the cocktail was actually invented in Florence at Caffè Casoni in 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni asked a bartender to swap the soda water in his Americano for gin. 
Here comes the twist, the predecessor Mi-To (Milano-Torino) originated at Milan's Caffè Camparino in the 1860s, combining Campari from Milan and sweet vermouth from Turin. Camparino was opened in 1915 by Davide Campari (son of Campari inventor Gaspare) as a natural progression from the original family café, making it the spiritual home of Campari cocktails.
But for the afficionados, I would recommend the #boulevardier here, simply the best.
More from Milan, later...

It was so much fun to creatively manage the shoot with Abhay Deol as the face of Victorinox India.

Its amazing how he resembles Dharam ji in this look. 

The watch on Abhay’s wrist is the recently launched Victorinox Concept One- Solar.

✨#LuxuryJournal✨| Baume & Mercier is stepping up its India game by strengthening its plans and onboarding actor Janhvi Kapoor as a Friend of the Maison. Under CEO Michael Guenoun, the nearly 200-year-old Swiss maison has sharpened its product strategy, strengthened its retail ambitions, and signed its first Indian brand ambassador. With reports of another high-profile Indian ambassador on the horizon, the brand is clearly looking to deepen its presence in India’s growing ₹1–5 lakh luxury watch segment.
