Shafeel's (Real Watch Talk)

**India is buying more watches. But are we learning enough about them?**

For years, watch conversations have largely revolved around brands, prices and ownership. But horology goes far beyond the name on a dial.

The arrival of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) Watch Essentials programme in Mumbai, through The Hour Markers, is an encouraging step for watch education in India.

Understanding movements, craftsmanship and watchmaking history helps build a more informed community.

But there's another conversation we need to have: **Who will service, repair and restore these watches in the years ahead?**

India doesn't just need more watch brands. It needs deeper horological knowledge and stronger watchmaking skills.

**A growing watch market deserves a growing watch culture.**

What do you think India should prioritise next?
