Luxury Watch Works Launches Integrated Centre of Excellence for Luxury Timepiece Ownership in India
Mumbai-based Luxury Watch Works launches India's first unified Centre of Excellence for luxury timepiece maintenance, blockchain certification, and lifecycle management.
Mumbai-based Luxury Watch Works (LWW) has officially launched India's first unified Centre of Excellence dedicated to the luxury timepiece sector. This groundbreaking facility is designed to serve as a comprehensive ecosystem for collectors, integrating high-end technical maintenance, blockchain-backed digital certification, horological education, and end-to-end lifecycle management.
Headquartered at Kala Bhavan, Charni Road, Mumbai, the centre is built to meet the sophisticated demands of luxury watch enthusiasts across the entire country. By combining Swiss-standard technical expertise with modern digital security, LWW aims to redefine how high-value timepieces are maintained and authenticated in the Indian market.
Swiss-Trained Expertise and Brand Authorisation
The facility is powered by a team of Swiss-trained watchmakers who possess deep technical mastery over more than 100 different mechanical calibres. To ensure the highest standards of precision, the centre utilizes brand-specific diagnostics, specialized Swiss tooling, and genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components.
LWW holds the distinction of being an authorised after-sales service provider for 13 prestigious international watch brands. These include:
- Cartier
- IWC
- Jaeger-LeCoultre
- Panerai
- Piaget
- TAG Heuer
- Ulysse Nardin
- Vacheron Constantin
- Baume & Mercier
- Carl F. Bucherer
- Chopard
- Girard-Perregaux
- Seiko
The service process for these brands is rigorous, involving a three-step protocol: initial registration and identification, a detailed technical assessment, and a no-obligation service estimate, ensuring all repairs adhere strictly to individual brand procedures.
Revolutionising Security with Blockchain and Lifecycle Management
Beyond traditional repairs, Luxury Watch Works is introducing two major innovations to the Indian horological landscape: the Virtual Vault Report (VVR) and Hour Circle.
The Virtual Vault Report (VVR)
Addressing the critical need for authenticity, the VVR is India's first blockchain-secured digital authentication and certification platform. Every timepiece undergoes a stringent 50+ point inspection to generate a secure digital report, providing owners with immutable proof of authenticity and condition.
Hour Circle: A New Era of Ownership
LWW has also unveiled Hour Circle, described as the country's first lifecycle management programme for luxury watches. This membership-based programme is designed to protect the legacy of a timepiece through various tiers:
- Hour Signature: Focuses on essential support, including a personal concierge, accidental damage cover, comprehensive restoration, expert curation assistance, and resale guidance.
- Hour Prestige: An elevated tier that includes all Signature benefits plus theft protection, a 15-day purchase/refund window, bespoke personalisation services, and professional authentication and valuation.
With this integrated approach, Luxury Watch Works is positioning itself as a pan-India destination for the care, documentation, and long-term management of the world's finest timepieces.
