PMJ Jewels Celebrates Akshaya Tritiya with "Rajeev’s IQ vs. Suma’s GB" Campaign
 

The campaign, playfully titled "Rajeev’s IQ vs. Suma’s GB," brings a witty and relatable touch to the traditional gold-buying season.

About PMJ Jewels

In the bustling streets of India, where the sun beats down relentlessly and style is non-negotiable, a new player is shaking up the eyewear scene. ollo, a brand founded by young entrepreneur Arjun Phoolka, is on a mission to deliver the highest quality eyewear made from the best materials available and jeweler-grade hardware at prices that don't break the bank. Forget overpriced imports or flimsy knockoffs—ollo combines premium materials, innovative design, and luxury branding to make high-end eyewear accessible to everyone.

ollo's material lineup sets a new standard. Core frames are crafted from high-grade acetate for its lightweight flexibility and full recyclability, but the collection expands to premium metal alloys for sleek strength and pure titanium for hypoallergenic, ultra-durable performance. These aren't basic versions—titanium is aerospace-grade for featherlight resilience, metal offers polished finishes that age gracefully, and acetate provides vibrant, sustainable color pops. All paired with jeweler-grade hardware: precision hinges, flexible titanium arms, and adjustable pads that elevate every pair to heirloom quality, without the premium markup. Ensuring that your frames last a lifetime.
 

Comfort remains key in eyewear, ollo's signature texture and engraving deliver grip and comfort, adapting seamlessly to faces. They keep their frames light and balanced to ensure comfort over long periods of time.

 

ollo redefines luxury for India's population of 1.4 billion people. People chase logos but ignore longevity causing them to change their frames frequently. ollo allows people to curate they own collection of frames and try new and different styles of frames that will last them instead of investing in a single luxury frame compromising on quality.
 

Sunglasses are an absolute necessity for safeguarding your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which bombards us daily and silently erodes vision over time. Without them, harmful UVA and UVB rays penetrate deep into the cornea, lens, and retina, accelerating cataracts that cloud your sight and macular degeneration that steals central vision—major causes of irreversible blindness, especially in intense sunlight.

Imagine your eyes as delicate cameras exposed to constant radiation; sunglasses with 100% UV protection act as an unbreakable filter, preventing photokeratitis—a painful corneal sunburn—and pterygium growth that invades the eye surface in sunny climates. Skipping them heightens skin cancer risks around the thin eye-area skin, turning a simple oversight into a lifelong health crisis. Consistent wear slows aging effects on eyes, just as sunscreen is mandatory for skin; without it, cumulative damage builds, demanding costly treatments later.

 

Beyond safeguarding your eyes from UV rays and glare, sunglasses have evolved into a cornerstone of everyday fashion. As Jack Nicholson once quipped, "With my sunglasses on, I’m Jack Nicholson. Without them, I’m fat and 60," and Karl Lagerfeld compared them to makeup, saying, "Sunglasses are like eye shadow: They make everything look younger and pretty," Helen Keller also once said "Keep your face always toward the sun and shadows will fall behind you—with sunglasses on, of course". Highlighting the need for sunglasses to protect your eyes.

 

"At the price point we provide, these high-quality frames that last a lifetime. People forget about branding, which is a very important aspect in eyewear, but we ensure that along with the quality of our frames, our branding is also of the highest quality. This includes packaging and the whole experience of buying a frame, which other brands—even near our price bracket—don't provide," said Arjun Phoolka, Founder of ollo.

"At ollo, we think about our clients before curating each frame. That's why we thoughtfully select the absolute best materials and hardware to craft these frames that last a lifetime, we also provide free shipping on all frames and have options starting from 2000 INR," Arjun added.

In a market flooded with fleeting trends and fragile frames, ollo stands tall as the smart choice for India's consumer. By blending High end materials, jeweler-grade hardware, and lifetime durability with prices starting at just 2,000 INR—complete with free shipping and unmatched packaging—ollo isn't just eyewear; it's an investment in your eyes, your style, and your future.
 

Arjun Phoolka's vision proves that luxury doesn't demand compromise. Why chase logos that fade when you can own a curated collection of heirloom-quality frames that protect, perform, and turn heads. Protect your vision from UV's silent assault, embrace effortless fashion, and redefine everyday luxury—today.

The collection draws from the colors, textures, and atmosphere of the region, channeling that sense of escape and bringing a more emotional lifestyle dimension to how we design for travel."

From the moment guests touched down, they were greeted with hints of the Mediterranean, enjoying sunset cocktails and a Mediterranean-inspired dinner.

The following day, Victor Sanz welcomed the guests into their own "Mediterranean Escape" – a reimagined coastal town with splashes of thyme green, sun-washed terracotta, and radiant yellow, mirroring the collection's destination-inspired hues. Wandering amongst enchanting florals, fresh lemons, and beautiful ceramics, guests were invited to visit the Lemonade Bar for a welcome drink while exploring a complementary summery capsule of women's Voyageur and Olas collections paired with eye-catching 19 Degree travel cases.

Guests continued their discovery at two distinct beachside settings: the Pink Clay Corner and the Thyme Corner. These spaces featured the newly introduced 19 Degree Front Access travel case and key styles from the women's Voyageur and Belden accessories collections, as well as the seasonal Mediterranean Print capsule.

Serving as the central inspiration for the brand’s flagship launch collection, Shristi Ratna is the defining signature around which every creation is thoughtfully designed.

Marking a significant milestone for the brand, the official website will be launched on 8^th March 2026, inviting audiences into an immersive digital experience that brings to life the philosophy, artistry, and collections behind the concept.
 

Speaking on the launch, Pavitra Gandhi from Ekatra Retail Ventures shared, “Partnering with Sunny Sakaria, Vasuki Punj, and Chirayu Yardi marks the beginning of an incredibly exciting journey for us. Bringing Sussanne Khan on board as Creative Director has been one of our most defining decisions, a reflection of our shared commitment to innovation, bold creativity, and delivering truly disruptive experiences in the world of jewellery.”

With its debut, Ekatra Retail Ventures sets out to redefine lab grown diamond jewellery - blending timeless craftsmanship with contemporary storytelling, where every facet tells a story and every creation becomes a personal cosmos.

Disruptive, captivating, iconic. Three words that characterise the work of Le Corbusier, the Swiss-born design visionary, whose unique and striking approach to architecture has been captured in a new collection of special-edition Rado timepieces - which may also be described by those same three words.
 

Launch of Rado True Round x Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier® Special Edition

The new releases are the latest output in a long-running collaboration between Rado and Les Couleurs Suisse^®. For Rado, known as the Master of Materials, Le Corbusier’s bold designs and use of modern materials and statement colours strike a chord with its own approach to watchmaking and appetite for innovation. So far, the partnership has seen the release of 12 Rado watches, which focused on deploying contribution to modern architecture - which set the tone for the then-emergent Brutalist style - with each watch referencing one of his most epic projects.

Minimalist elegance

The first watch pays tribute to La Cité Radieuse, a vast, concrete apartment building in Marseille, France, completed in 1952, and which reimagined modern urban living. This special edition features an abstract inspiration of the building’s rough-cast, board-formed concrete, known as béton-brut, laser engraved in its high-tech ceramic dial. This offers a highly intricate interpretation of the concrete’s innate texture, with each minute detail intriguingly reflecting the light.
 

Each watch in the series combines four shades from the Polychromie Architectural. First introduced in 1931, and extended in 1959, the palette was identified by the great designer as being eminently architectural, naturally harmonious and able to be combined in any way.

This first watch is presented in Ivory White, reference 4320B, across its monobloc high-tech ceramic case and matching crown and bracelet, telling a story of pure, minimalist elegance. It is the first time that this specific colour has been deployed in high-tech ceramic. It’s worth remembering that the colour runs right through the material – the final hue is not just a coating or finish, but acquired during sintering, when it is heated to 1,450°C. Faithfully recreating an exact shade with this complex methodology is no small thing and took Rado’s experts years to perfect. This timepiece is complemented by hands in Lucent Sky Blue (32021), Luminous Ultramarine Blue (32020) and Light Ultramarine Blue (32023).

Monochromatic power
The second watch honours the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the USA. In a region so closely associated with American history, the Center’s bold aesthetic was a stark contrast against the leafy squares and Georgian architecture of Harvard University. As the only building Le Corbusier designed in North America – and one of his last, completed in 1963 – it is part of the nation’s cultural heritage. 

An abstract evocation of its moulded concrete facade features in the dial of this special edition, similarly laser engraved in high-tech ceramic. Showcased in Iron Grey – specifically 32010 from the Polychromie Architectural – the piece conveys the monochromatic power of raw concrete, a material which allowed for the more disruptive, sculptural forms so associated with Le Corbusier. The watch’s lacquered hands offer a dramatic juxtaposition against the dial, in three additional colours from his palette: Cream White (32001), Powerful Orange (4320S) and Slightly Greyed English Green (32041).
 

Monumental design
The final watch in the series celebrates Le Corbusier’s capacity to conceptualise ideas on a truly epic scale through his visionary plan for Chandigarh, India. Conceived as a completely new capital for Punjab, he imagined a more rational, efficient city with a geometric ‘grid’ layout, shared principles for architectural design, and nature carefully integrated – a design legacy that would shape urban planning throughout the rest of the 20^th century.

This special edition includes a dial design inspired by detail from the Palace of Assembly, one of three public buildings known as the Capitol Complex, completed in 1962. An abstract inspiration of a section of this monumental building’s facade is laser engraved in the dial, within a darker palette still. Here, the high-tech ceramic monobloc case, crown and bracelet appear in Ivory Black - 4320E from the Polychromie Architectural – accompanied by lacquered hands in Powerful Orange (4320S), Emerald Green (4320G) and Olive Green (4320F). 

Sensuous and scratch-proof
The reverse of all three watches features 63 digitally printed colour strips - representing the full spectrum of the Polychromie Architectural. They encircle the view of the Rado calibre R763 automatic movement within, which can be seen through a flat sapphire crystal that features the logo of Le Corbusier at its centre. The colour strips also decorate the presentation box each watch is supplied in. 

On the wrist, the watch’s high-tech ceramic construction feels impossibly light and beautifully comfortable – the material quickly matches body temperature – while the material’s sensuous qualities are magnetically alluring. The almost scratch-proof characteristics of high-tech ceramic lend it unrivalled durability, just like Le Corbusier’s beloved concrete, while the Rado calibre R763 automatic movement’s 80-hour power reserve – and waterresistance to 5 bar (50 metres) – give it astonishing practicality.

This architecturally inspired collection, pairing the father of modernism with the watchmaking vision of Rado, Master of Materials, represents a poignant new chapter in the story of Swiss design.
 

Rado x Design
Creativity is the lifeblood of Rado and has long been a part of the brand’s identity. Over the years, it has been involved in more than thirty collaborations with some of the world’s most visionary artists and designers, including luminaries such as Le Corbusier. Each project serves to open Rado to new horizons. Accordingly, its passion for design shares pride of place with the brand’s unending mission to discover and develop innovative materials, and is at the core of the brand’s identity, expressed as ‘Design You Can Feel’.
 

About Le Corbusier
Born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret in 1887, in the Swiss watch capital La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Corbusier adopted his famous pseudonym in 1920, reflecting his own belief in reinvention and a trend for artists at the time to be known by a single name. That spark of maverick originality runs through the full gamut of his output, which included urban planning, furniture design, painting and writing. While he also enjoyed an earlier career as a watch engraver, it is arguably his architectural legacy that cemented his reputation as a pioneer – indeed as the ’father’ of modern architecture – with many of his disruptive, captivating designs still celebrated today.
 

About the collaboration
Today Les Couleurs Suisse® is exclusively mandated by the Fondation Le Corbusier to license the great designer’s original palette of architectural colours, the Polychromy Architectural (www.lescouleurs.ch/en/thecolours/le-corbusier). This dynamic colour system with a total of 63 colours, developed by the father of modernism and international design and style in 1931 and 1959, is to this day considered the ultimate system for colouring architecture and interiors. As both Rado and Corbusier are considered masters of materials, it makes sense that Rado has introduced Corbusier’s colours in high-tech ceramic.

Bangalore Watch Company’s first flagship boutique, a space to experience our watches and stories

The new 1,800 sq. ft. space marks an important milestone in BWC’s journey. Designed as an experience center rather than a conventional retail store, the boutique showcases the brand’s complete range of collections and features a dedicated customer lounge, a space for hosting masterclasses, and watch community events.

On display from the brand’s archives are rare pieces of Meteorites, a watch made of material recovered from a fighter-plane, and the first Indian-made watch that went to Space.

“Over time, we’ve built a strong community of watch owners across 30 countries. Many of them are frequent flyers who often make a stop at our studio in South Bangalore,” said Mercy Amalraj, Co-founder of the brand. “While that space has been perfect for one-on-one interactions, the new boutique is designed to be open, engaging, and a perfect setting for showcasing our watches and technical capabilities. Located in central Bangalore, it allows us to host more people, events, and conversations — creating a space that truly reflects the community that has grown with us.”

The boutique is situated in one of Bangalore’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, home to some of the city’s finest cafés, design houses, and prestigious retail stores. Its central location makes it easily accessible to visitors, positioning BWC at the crossroads of the city’s lifestyle, design, and watch communities.

“This boutique represents the next chapter for us,” said Nirupesh Joshi, Co-founder of Bangalore Watch Company. “From the beginning, our goal has been to create an Indian luxury watch brand that connects deeply with people through meaningful stories. With this space, we want to offer our community a place where those stories can be experienced, not just seen.”

“We’ve always believed that ownership goes beyond the product,” added Mercy. “The boutique allows us to meet our customers in person, host them for intimate gatherings, and create experiences that bring together watch lovers from across the country.”

“BWC has always been more than a watch company from Bangalore to me... As one of their first customers, it has been an absolute pleasure to witness their evolution — from their nascency online, to their cozy studio, and now to their flagship boutique in the heart of the city. This moment felt like a shared milestone for both the brand and its community of loyal owners, and I couldn’t be more proud,” said Mr. Vinay Somashekhar, customer since 2019.

BWC envisions the boutique as more than just a place to discover watches — it aims to become an anchor for the growing watch community in Bangalore, and eventually, one of the top experiences for visitors to the city from around the world.

Tanishq’s latest collection spotted taking center stage as the model flaunts the pieces on the runway

Building on its continued presence at Paris Couture Week since 2023, Tanishq’s exclusive collection of Desert diamonds, placed the spotlight firmly on the origin of natural diamonds. Formed in the depths of the earth over millennia, Desert diamonds carry the spirit of the land - connecting each stone back to wild desert landscapes. A spectrum of natural colours, with diamonds ranging from warm whites and honey tones through to whiskey and sunset browns form a palette that’s both rare and unmistakable. Prized for their individuality, subtle tonal variations, and depth of character, these stones are considered connoisseur diamonds—markers of rarity, quiet power, and refined self-expression.

Rahul Mishra’s Spring 2026 collection, Alchemy, showcased at Paris Couture Week, draws inspiration from the cosmic and elemental origins of life, interpreting the continuity of matter and the transience of existence. It begins at the ether (akasha), the cosmic vastness, the eternal silence; which is not nothingness, but intelligible potential. The impression of air (vayu), its lightness, movement and enormous strength, traced into fabric through instinct and memory. Fire (agni) is the transformational force, like a contemplation. Shapeless by nature, but gives form to anything it touches. Water, (apas) obedient to gravity yet constantly in motion, a mirror to the moon and the world around it, yet humbly adapting to each vessel it inhabits. And Earth, the eternity’s ledger of memories. Shaped from the interactions between the other forms, it is a vessel retaining their traces and textures, the force of resilience and tenderness. Rooted in the interplay of air, fire, water, earth, and space, the collection reflects how these classical elements interact and transform—mirroring the patient formation of diamonds over billions of years. Through texture, scale, and movement, Mishra’s couture translates these unseen forces into a poetic narrative, where design echoes nature’s rhythms, elemental harmony, and timeless cycles of transformation. This philosophy celebrates creation as a process shaped by time, balance, and quiet resilience—values intrinsic to both couture and natural diamonds.

The jewellery showcased in Paris highlighted how Tanishq’s Desert diamonds bring these natural elements to life, perfectly mirroring the vision of Rahul Mishra. Each rare, naturally coloured diamond was crafted into bold, sculptural silhouettes that celebrate both strength and subtlety, reflecting the desert’s timeless landscapes and the slow, meticulous artistry of its formation. Following their successful launch in the USA, Tanishq now introduces these exceptionally rare diamonds to India, offering connoisseurs and jewellery enthusiasts an opportunity to experience natural diamonds of extraordinary provenance, individuality, and elegance. With scale, form, and thoughtful settings designed to let each stone’s brilliance shine, these creations are conceived as wearable art, elevating high jewellery on one of the world’s most prestigious fashion platforms.

Every creation showcased in Paris was the result of extensive design ideation, hundreds of artisanal man-hours, intricate settings, and uncompromising attention to detail—a testament to Indian artistry that stands confidently among the world’s finest. With its fourth appearance at Paris Couture Week, Tanishq continues to strengthen its position as a globally aspirational luxury jewellery brand, engaging with the world’s leading maisons on an international stage. The Desert diamonds collection provides a new perspective - a sense of freshness and innovation in natural diamonds and was crafted in collaboration with De Beers Group, the world’s leading diamond company.

Speaking on Tanishq’s continued presence at Paris Couture Week, Pelki Tshering, Chief Marketing Officer, Tanishq, said, “Paris Couture Week is where design speaks without borders. For Tanishq, returning for the fourth time reflects our belief that Indian jewellery can engage the world through a shared language of design, rarity, and expression. With Desert diamonds, created in partnership with De Beers, we are presenting a story shaped by nature and refined through design—one that feels both deeply rooted and globally relevant. Our collaboration with Rahul Mishra allows us to translate this vision onto one of fashion’s most influential stages, reinforcing our commitment to creating distinctive natural diamond jewellery that resonates with a new generation of global connoisseurs.”

Speaking on the collaboration and the association with Paris Couture Week, Garima Maheshwari, Head of Design, Tanishq, said, “Paris Couture Week represents the pinnacle of global luxury and creative expression. Our third presentation with Rahul Mishra marks a deeper creative dialogue between couture and high jewellery, where fashion and craftsmanship move together seamlessly. With Desert Diamonds, we showcased rare natural diamonds shaped by ancient desert landscapes, interpreted through bold, sculptural forms that echoed Rahul Mishra’s nature-inspired silhouettes. The collection’s natural hues—ranging from luminous whites to warm champagnes and deep ochres—were highlighted through intricate settings and meticulous detailing. Each creation was conceived as wearable art, reinforcing our shared commitment to authenticity, rarity, and presenting Indian high jewellery with confidence on a global couture stage.”

Speaking on the launch of Dessert Diamonds in India, Shweta Harit, Global Senior Vice President, De Beers, said, “De Beers has now been a long-standing partner of Tanishq, and together we share a vision of bringing the world’s finest natural diamonds to discerning audiences in India. Desert diamonds exemplify this collaboration, each stone is part of a unique origin concept, showcasing the rarity, individuality, and natural beauty that only nature can create. With Desert diamonds, the ancient sands of time meet today’s desire for authentic beauty. Having already launched these exceptional diamonds in the USA, Tanishq is now bringing Desert diamonds to India, unveiling them on the global stage at Paris Couture Week and reinforcing our shared commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship.”

Rahul Mishra, Founder and Creative Director, said, “This collaboration with Tanishq is a meeting of philosophies shaped by time, nature, and human hands, and I am honoured to join hands with the legacy and trust created by them. Desert diamonds, formed over billions of years, resonate deeply with my couture collection Alchemy, which explores the elemental forces that bind creation and transformation. Presenting this dialogue at Paris Haute Couture Week allows us to honour rarity, not just in materials, but in thought, process, and craftsmanship. Together, we are telling a story where Indian artistry evolves naturally onto a global stage, rooted in heritage yet expressed through contemporary design.”

The Good Design Award is one of the world’s most respected global design programmes, recognising products that demonstrate excellence in design, innovation, form, and function. Sonata received the award in the Product Design Category for Timepieces, placing it alongside globally renowned brands. For Sonata, this milestone represents a significant step in an international stage and strengthens its commitment to delivering strong design value at scale.

In India, gold is a powerful symbol of authenticity and trust, and for us it represents purity of thought and intent. Crafting a certified 22K gold coin into a contemporary watch came from placing the Indian consumer and their enduring affinity for gold at the very centre of our design thinking.” 

By centring the design on material authenticity and form, the collection delivers a strong visual statement while remaining accessible. Priced at INR 5,995, it demonstrates how thoughtful design and meaningful material use can coexist at an attainable price point.

BWC X Dubai Watch Week 2025

Dubai Watch Week (DWW) is hosted by the Ahmed Seddiqi Group, one of the largest watch retailers in the UAE, bringing together the finest artisans and luxury watch brands from around the world all under one roof. The bi-ennial event brings the prestigious label to Dubai’s iconic Burj Park overlooking the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall.

At the event, BWC will also host a Masterclass on Meteorites; this is the first time in the world, a watch brand opens the intricate process involved in turning an outer space Meteorite into Haute Horlogerie elements used in watchmaking. With this format, BWC plans to give the participants an exclusive opportunity to go hands-on with Meteorites. The brand’s Meteorite Archive will also be on display with a selection of some of the world’s rarest space rocks, allowing collectors and enthusiasts to explore these extraordinary materials up close and understand the craftsmanship in turning them into luxury watches.

Since 2018, Bangalore Watch Company™ has redefined Indian watchmaking through the materials it chooses to work with in the watches. From aluminium recovered from fighter planes, steel from aircraft carriers, and fragments made from a slice of a 4.5-billion-year-old Muonionalusta meteorite, each material tells a story of modern spirit, and human curiosity for space. With innovations like a proprietary Cerasteel™ material, and India’s first space-qualified watch, the brand continues to blend storytelling with modernity in every creation.

“This is a very special moment for us,” said Nirupesh Joshi, Co-Founder of Bangalore Watch Company™. “Participating at Dubai Watch Week gives us the opportunity to introduce our brand to the global watch community. Some of the best names from the industry will attend DWW, and we’re proud to have been invited by the Seddiqi Group to host the Masterclass.”

Mercy Amalraj, Co-Founder of BWC, added, “Every meteorite dial is a story — from a fragment of the cosmos to a finished timepiece. This Masterclass is a chance for people to experience that journey with their own hands. This is a story from India, but being shared with the world, there couldn’t have been a better platform for us to launch this new Masterclass than DWW.” 

Following the debut, BWC plans to bring this Masterclass back to India, giving watch collectors and enthusiasts back home the opportunity to share the experience.

“The Indian watch collectors and enthusiasts' community is bustling right now, watches are all about the sties, and our customers are asking for more experiences, and storytelling. We are excited to bring the Meteorite Masterclass back to India later this year.” said Mercy Amalraj.

(R-L) Sara Tendulkar, Shweta Harit - Global SVP, De Beers Group, Ananya Panday, Karan Johar, Twinkle Khanna & Rosemin Madhavji at Frieze Masters 2025 with De Beers

To witness this celebration of creativity and craftsmanship, De Beers brought together India’s leading style and art connoisseurs including prolific author Twinkle Khanna, acclaimed filmstar Ananya Panday, sitar maestro Anoushka Shankar, philanthropist & entrepreneur Sara Tendulkar and visionary film director & producer Karan Johar, Dubai based entrepreneur and media personality Rosemin Madhavji among many others, each known for their refined aesthetic and appreciation of art, design and storytelling.

The journey unfolded across two remarkable experiences - an exclusive Diamond Masterclass at the De Beers Headquarters, followed by the brand’s debut at the art fair, Frieze Masters 2025, with “Voyage Through the Diamond Realm” installation.

At the Diamond Masterclass, guests were guided through the artistry and science that define natural diamonds, from exploring rough diamond sorting, unique shapes, colors and characteristics that define natural diamonds to the ombré presentation of polished exceptional diamonds. The session offered a rare, tactile experience, revealing how nature is the greatest craftsman whose creativity manifests in every facet and hue. The Masterclass underscored how each diamond’s evolution is a work of art in itself, unfolding from raw material to radiant perfection.

Speaking on the experience, Ananya Panday said, “This experience made me view natural diamonds in a whole different light. Holding the rough diamonds up close was surreal especially the 32ct worth $2 Million. It made me realise that nature is the true artist creating beauty over billions of years which is truly authentic & valuable. Now every time I wear a diamond, I will be reminded of its journey deep within the Earth — from stardust to sparkle.”

Known for her trademark wit and reflective charm, Twinkle Khanna described the experience as both grounding and awe-inspiring. “It’s fascinating,” she said, “how something forged quietly in the depths of the Earth can emerge as a symbol of light, strength, and beauty. Nature clearly doesn’t need an editor — it tells the best stories and diamonds are among its most eloquent lines.”

At Frieze, “Voyage Through the Diamond Realm” invited visitors on a poetic journey tracing diamonds from their celestial origins to their earthly discovery. The installation featured natural diamonds celebrated for their rare hues and individuality, brought to life through immersive visuals, evocative soundscapes and storytelling that highlighted the enduring beauty of every gem.

Shweta Harit, Global SVP, De Beers Group said, “At De Beers, we’ve always viewed natural diamonds as nature’s finest works of art. Over two days in London, we invited India’s leading style and art connoisseurs to explore their timeless beauty through an immersive masterclass tracing their journey from stardust to brilliance. At Frieze Masters, our installation “Voyage Through the Diamond Realm” brought this cosmic story to life, uniting the worlds of art and natural diamonds in a captivating experience. Because when art meets nature, brilliance finds its true form.” 

Reflecting on the experience, Karan Johar, shared “It was unlike anything I’ve seen before. Surrounded by art and the authentic beauty of natural diamonds, I felt how deeply connected we are to the Earth’s creativity. Every diamond held a story waiting to be told.”

More than a visit, this journey was a meditation on eternity - a reminder that light, pressure, and patience can create something everlasting. In an age of the ephemeral, De Beers reminded the world that some masterpieces are written not by artists, but by the Earth itself.

Denver's Diwali Campaign 2025
 

This year’s Diwali campaign focuses on the idea of “real influence” - portraying the modern man not through superficial perfection but through grounded confidence and sincerity. It explores what it truly means to be an influencer in today’s world, featuring real stories and behind-the-scenes moments that reflect Denver’s enduring ethos: “The Real Scent of Success.”
 

Through two heartfelt narratives, the campaign moves beyond the festival’s glitz to celebrate emotional warmth and meaningful relationships. It has been able to capture moments where genuine friendships outshine digital validation and where success is defined by kindness, humility, and real dedication, not merely by followers or filters.
 

The films’ storytelling also reinforces Denver’s brand ethos of a “Real Gentlemen”, encouraging viewers to honor those who lead with authenticity and self-belief. The tone emphasizes individuality and integrity over flash and facade, aligning with Denver’s brand philosophy of success with substance.
 

Speaking on the campaign, Saurabh Guptam, MD and Chairman, HSPL, said, “This Diwali, we’re celebrating real over reel - the kind of success that’s grounded in hard work, humility, and heart. At Denver, we’ve always believed that true success isn’t about appearances but about authenticity and influence that comes from character. Just like our fragrances, it’s not about being loud - it’s about leaving a lasting impression built on grace and real impact.”
 

Additionally, by shifting the focus from performative perfection to genuine expression, Denver’s campaign moves beyond being a product-centric advertisement to a value-driven narrative. It reinforces the brand’s purpose - to empower men who define success through authenticity, not illusion - paving the way for deeper emotional connections this festive season.

Tanishq’s Mriganka festive collection, featuring Manushi Chhillar, celebrates mythical worlds and imaginative realms, alongside the Tanishq Gold Exchange offer

Inspired by mythical creatures and fantastical blooms, Mriganka is crafted to be as spectacular as imagination, as sublime as dreams. Crafted using advanced techniques such as stone-on-stone jadau, Badroom, Chandak, Ras Rava, and intricate jaali layering, the collection features an eclectic mix of coloured kundan, enamel detailing & 3D motifs. Each piece a portal that transports the wearer into the fantastical world of Mriganka, where myth and artistry entwine. Whether it’s cascading harams echoing the grandeur of a palace, statement rings inspired by mythical creatures, or versatile pendant sets designed for multiple styles, Tanishq’s Mriganka offers a diverse yet cohesive experience, reimagining festive jewellery for the modern Indian woman. 

To bring the festive cheer, the first time ever, Tanishq is offering consumers a 0%* deduction on gold exchange across all karatages (as low as 9 KT) till October 21, 2025, making it easier for every Indian to participate in this nation-building effort.Tanishq is also spearheading one of the country’s largest gold exchange campaigns, championing India’s journey towards self-reliance. While India’s true gold reserves lie not in mines but in households estimated to hold around 25,000 tonnes of gold—much of this wealth remains untapped. At the same time, nearly 99% of the country’s gold is imported each year, creating a dependence that slows the nation’s vision of self-reliance. Through this initiative, Tanishq encourages families to unlock the value of their existing gold, transforming it into contemporary designs while collectively reducing the need for imports. To reinforce this vision, Tanishq has partnered with Sachin Tendulkar, a symbol of trust and integrity, to represent the movement’s core values and inspire every Indian to participate in this transformative effort.

Ajoy Chawla, CEO, Jewellery Division, Titan Company Limited, said, “Every time a family exchanges even one gram of old locker gold, they not only unlock value for themselves but also contribute to the nation by reducing imports. That is the power of gold exchange—personal joy with a national impact. With our first-ever 0% deduction offer across karatages (even as low as 9kt) this festive season, we are making it easier for every Indian to participate in the vision of making our nation self-reliant.”

Speaking about the collection, Revathi Kant, Chief Design Officer, Titan Company Limited, said “At the onset of the festive season, we are delighted to introduce ‘Mriganka’ an opulent celebration of imaginative world of our dreams, painted with the rich heritage of our Indian stories and tales. This collection is set in the magical land, where majestic palaces peek through clouds, mystical beings of exquisite beauty, and rare exotic blooms come alive in gold. Every piece is infused with mystical charm, crafted with intricate artistry; from high-brilliance of Kundan, coloured stones and accents of enamel, to sculptural 3D forms and layered textures — help capture the beauty of this magical world in products that are bold, expressive, and fashion-forward in spirit. It is only through Tanishq’s deep design expertise, legacy of intricate craftsmanship, and creative vision that a fantastical universe like Mriganka can be transformed into wearable works of art. With this collection, we offer our consumers not just jewellery, but an invitation into a world of wonder; one that elevates the festive experience with joy, beauty, and awe. Mriganka is imagined from another realm, created to delight the senses and celebrate the many moods of modern festivity.”

Visitor amidst space rocks

“We launched the Apogee collection in 2021 as India’s first space-qualified watch. Since then, it has been our way of celebrating stories of space exploration through world-class watchmaking. With this new watch, we carry that vision forward by bringing to life a story that started far beyond our solar system,” said Nirupesh Joshi, Co-founder and Creative Director of the brand.

The story of the Visitor goes back to 2017, when astronomers saw an interstellar object passing through our solar system at an extraordinary speed. It had come from another star system, making it the first interstellar object ever observed by humanity. This rare discovery changed the way we think about space, reminding us of the vastness of the universe. It was this discovery that inspired the idea behind the Visitor.

The brand has chosen a Meteorite from outer space to use in the watch, the Muonionalusta meteorite — one of the oldest materials on Earth. Meteorites are extremely hard to work with, but after precision and patience, the Meteorites reveal natural crystalline patterns that make every piece unique. The brand has used this rare material in the Apogee collection since 2021, and in the Visitor, a rare black Meteorite has been used for the dial.

“Our customers love the fact that they get to wear a watch that is unlike any other; they’re extremely rare and the patterns make them unique,” said Mercy Amalraj, Co-founder and Head of Ownership Experience.

The Visitor is housed in a case crafted from Cerasteel™, Bangalore Watch Company’s proprietary material that blends high-grade steel with an advanced ceramic coating for strength and refinement. The watch is powered by a highly accurate Swiss Automatic movement, water resistant up to 100M, and designed for everyday wear. The watches are manufactured with the highest standards of Swiss timekeeping with the brand’s in-house watchmakers in Bangalore. The Visitor is a fragment of cosmic history, to carry on the wrist.

The Visitor is priced at INR 216,000/-. The watches can be ordered through the brand’s website www.bangalorewatchco.in starting today.

About Bangalore Watch Company™

Bangalore Watch Company™ produces world-class, luxury wristwatches from India. Each collection, produced in limited numbers, tells stories from modern India. The watches carry themes like Aviation, Space, Cricket, and Nature. Founded in India’s watchmaking ground-zero in 2018, the brand has built an enthusiastic following around the world with patrons in over 30 countries.

For a long time, jewellers have faced harassment during investigations of theft and robbery cases involving gold and silver. In some unfortunate incidents, jewellers even lost their lives during the process. Taking cognizance of these grave concerns, on March 14, 2024, the Government of Maharashtra issued a circular under the Home Department, clearly instructing police officers regarding investigations under BNS 317 (formerly Section 411 IPC). The circular also recommended the establishment of a special Dakshata Committee.

This Vigilance Committee has been constituted by the State Government. Representatives from 36 districts of Maharashtra have been included, and in the near future, district-level committees will also be established with the support of GJC. The key objective of this initiative is to build a secure and reliable bridge between the government and trade bodies, ensuring the safety of jewellers and extending full support to honest business practices.

GJC expresses its sincere gratitude to Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis for this visionary step. The Council also acknowledges the special efforts of Hon’ble Minister of State for Home Affairs Shri Pankaj Bhoyar and Hon’ble Smt. Chitra Wagh (MLC) in making this reform a reality.

GJC Chairman, Mr. Rajesh Rokde, said, “This decision marks a historic moment for the jewellery industry in Maharashtra. The formation of the Dakshata Committee reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring a safe business environment in a safe state. We are deeply thankful to Hon’ble Shri Devendra Fadnavis for this far-sighted reform and appreciate the tireless efforts of Hon’ble Minister of State for Home Affairs Shri Pankaj Bhoyar and Hon’ble Smt. Chitra Wagh. We congratulate all trade representatives included from various districts of Maharashtra. I urge jewellers across India to make similar efforts in their respective states so that a strong and secure national framework can be created. GJC remains committed to working hand-in-hand with the industry.”

GJC Vice Chairman, Mr. Avinash Gupta, added, “The jewellery sector has long grappled with serious security challenges. The Maharashtra Government’s decision is indeed a revolutionary step, reflecting both sensitivity and strong commitment towards the jeweller community. This initiative will instill confidence among jewellers. We appeal to all our pan-India members to actively engage with their respective state governments for similar committees, so that a safe ecosystem for jewellery business can be built nationwide.”

As the national apex body, GJC also invites all state heads across India to replicate such initiatives in their respective states. GJC will extend full support and is preparing a detailed national Plan of Action to help implement this framework across India.

• Shri Nitin Khandelwal, District Akola – Member

EUME marked World Gratitude Day by celebrating its lead investor Ashish Kacholia

Kacholia’s involvement has been about far more than capital. His sharp market acumen, foresight and people-first approach have inspired EUME to think long-term, build customer trust and never compromise on quality. His conviction in the brand has given the team the courage to pursue bold goals from strengthening distribution and operations, to pushing global aspirations and investing in research-driven design. As the founders put it, his mentorship has been less about numbers and more about creating sustainable value, a force multiplier that has shaped EUME’s growth story.

To make their gratitude tangible, EUME designed a series of exclusive bags inspired by Kacholia’s personal passions: wildlife and the stock market. These creations were more than products; they were symbols of how the brand tells stories through design. The wildlife-inspired bags reflected his love for nature, blending bold aesthetics with sustainable craftsmanship, while the stock market motifs drew from his identity as an investor, weaving in cues of financial growth. The result was a collection that married personal storytelling with EUME’s hallmark of premium innovation, a testament to the brand’s creative edge in the lifestyle space highlighting #makingmoves.

In a startup world where fundraising announcements usually take center stage, EUME’s gesture stood out as bold and refreshing. By celebrating an investor in such a personal and public way, the brand positioned itself as one that values human connection above transactions. Gratitude, for EUME, is not an afterthought but the foundation of its identity woven into how the company designs, communicates and grows. This initiative has not only set a precedent in India’s startup ecosystem but also reaffirmed the brand’s commitment to humility and long-term partnerships.

Looking ahead, EUME plans to continue using storytelling as a growth driver, building deeper emotional bonds with customers and communities. By celebrating people, ideas and values through design, the brand aims to strengthen loyalty and reinforce its position as a lifestyle company rooted in gratitude, creativity and purposeful growth. The message to the larger ecosystem is clear: when founders and investors honour each other’s journeys, partnerships transcend capital and become catalysts for enduring success.

Malabar Group Chairman M P Ahammad & WHO India Representative Dr. Roderico H Ofrin signed the MoU for the 'Nurturing Beginnings' CSR project

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed at Malabar Group’s Headquarters in Kuttikkatoor, Kozhikode in the presence of Dr. Roderico H. Ofrin, WHO Representative to India; Dr. B.

Idrees, Malabar Group Senior Directors, Management Team Members and other dignitaries. The initiative will be implemented through the Malabar Charitable Trust.

The NURTURING BEGINNINGS project builds on the Group’s flagship Hunger Free World program. Global studies highlight that the first 1,000 days from conception until the child’s early growth years are critical for physical, mental, and intellectual development. To address this, the project will provide free nutritious food to mothers and children, along with medical services that support both physical and mental health. Initially, it will be rolled out in urban communities in Delhi, with plans to expand across other states.

Speaking on the occasion, M.P. Ahammad, Chairman, Malabar Group said, “NURTURING BEGINNINGS is a very important project for us, as it extends the impact of our ‘Hunger Free World’ initiative. Only when children receive proper nutrition from conception through their early years can they grow to their full potential, both mentally and physically. Sadly, many in our society are deprived of this. By collaborating with WHO India, Malabar Group is acknowledging its responsibility in shaping a healthier society. We are deeply grateful to WHO for its support and cooperation.”

Dr. Roderico H. Ofrin, WHO Representative to India, said, “WHO congratulates Malabar Group for initiating such a vital project, which is crucial in shaping a healthier future generation. Nutrition and care are the fundamental rights of mothers and children, and the responsibility of society. Malabar Group has been implementing several impactful CSR initiatives, and we are confident that the NURTURING BEGINNINGS project will also be a great success.”

Dr. P. Muhammad Asheel, National Professional Officer of WHO, added, “The NURTURING BEGINNINGS project has the potential to significantly improve the development of children in socially and economically backward communities. WHO India will extend all possible cooperation and support to Malabar Group to ensure the successful implementation of this initiative.”

Since its inception in 1993, Malabar Group has consistently allocated 5 percent of its profits towards CSR initiative. Through its Hunger Free World project, the Group currently provides free nutritious meals to 60,000 people daily in India and 10,000 students in three schools in Zambia. Additionally, more than 700 micro-learning centers have been established across India to support street children and school dropouts with food and education, helping them return to formal schooling. In addition, nearly 30,000 children were brought back to school.

The Group also runs ‘Grandma Home’ to support destitute mothers. Since launching its scholarship program in 2007, Malabar Group has awarded over 1,15,000 scholarships to girl students. Additionally, Malabar Charitable Trust is set to distribute 33,000 scholarships this year alone to promote the education of underprivileged girls. The Group’s CSR initiatives span health, housing, education, women’s empowerment, and environmental sustainability.

Ahead of the 2025 festive season, Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, announced the launch of ‘Fashion Spotlight’, its flagship program to accelerate the growth of digital-first fashion brands, especially from T2+ regions. The D2C landscape for Fashion remains a key growth opportunity especially for those from T2+ regions, who may not have access to the right tools that can enable them to exponentially scale their business. Flipkart plans to scale the program 10X by year-end, reaching around 500 brands, and eventually expanding its reach to several more; turning Fashion Spotlight into a truly democratized launchpad for D2C fashion talent. 
 

Flipkart Launches 'Fashion Spotlight' to Power India's Emerging D2C Fashion Ecosystem
 

This strategic rollout comes just in time for the festive season, traditionally the zenith of fashion demand. With 100+ D2C fashion brands already live on Flipkart Fashion today, the organisation is scaling its efforts to bring curated, trend-led selection to millions of shoppers across the country. Several D2C Fashion brands have already witnessed tremendous growth on Flipkart’s marketplace such as Rare Rabbit growing over 500% YoY, Miraggio at over 2300%, and Zouk recording over 200% growth in the past year.
 

With 1 in 3 customers on Flipkart making their first-ever purchase in Fashion, and purchase intent on the app growing 3X in the past year when compared to social media platforms, the Spotlight programme becomes a high-conversion environment for digital-first brands. Going beyond traditional accelerator models, the program integrates Flipkart’s full-stack capabilities, including video cataloguing, image search, Live Commerce, and virtual try-ons, to create a tech-powered, trust-led ecosystem where fashion entrepreneurs can scale with speed and confidence.
 

As part of this launch phase, 50 high-potential brands will be onboarded with a focus on those solving for specific customer needs including unique style, value, and regional relevance. Fashion Spotlight is focused on enabling early-stage fashion entrepreneurs who may have found initial traction among their immediate networks but are now seeking to scale and become brands in their own right.
 

Flipkart has observed that while product innovation is thriving across India’s fashion landscape from climate-conscious fabrics to regional design revival, the biggest bottleneck for many fashion entrepreneurs and D2C brands remains discovery and distribution. Spotlight aims to bridge that gap with Flipkart’s strengths in consumer data, merchandising expertise, and platform reach. The programme is structured around three key pillars: identifying real consumer need gaps, crafting differentiated product experiences, and delivering iterative feedback to improve assortment, visibility, and conversions. Spotlight offers a managed service layer, where Flipkart works closely with entrepreneurs to test product-market fit, iterate on catalogues using cohort feedback, and provide guaranteed visibility much like a VC would invest in early-stage innovation.
 

A Platform Built Around Brand Growth, Not Gatekeeping

• The initiative empowers early‑stage fashion entrepreneurs with three key pillars:

• Curated Discovery: Elevating standout products to a wide audience

• Iterative Product Feedback: Fostering product-market fit through structured learnings

• Guaranteed Visibility: Amplified exposure without commission or exclusivity constraints
   

Tapping Festive and Bharat Tailwinds

• Flipkart’s move aligns with wider shifts in India’s fashion market:

• Consumers are increasingly buying based on trend, identity, and comfort—not just deals. 

• Fashion is now a key growth driver: one in three new Flipkart users discovers the platform through fashion.

Swatch brings an immersive ‘Scubaqua’ Experience in DLF Cyber Hub, Gurugram

The lift lobbies of the commercial hub are showcasing the ‘Scubaqua Collection’ using dynamic cutting-edge projection mapping technology, by installing multiple short-throw projectors and transforming the lift lobbies of DLF Cyber hub buildings into a vibrant ‘Scubaqua’ world. Swatch Scubaqua Creative

Swatch brings an immersive ‘Scubaqua’ Experience in DLF Cyber Hub, Gurugram

Cyber Hub is known for its everyday high footfall of professionals and visitors, which provides an ideal setting for the activation. The unexpected space setting for projection mapping in high-traffic lift lobbies ensures maximum visibility, offering an unforgettable experience. It is a refreshing twist on how products are showcased by blending technology with brand storytelling.

Swatch Scubaqua

The Swatch campaign was launched in mid-August and the activation is one of its kind in India and goes beyond the traditional ways of product display, giving a new dimension to the world of advertising and marketing. The playful experience with striking visuals not only highlights Swatch’s new collection but also sets a new benchmark of how lifestyle brands can connect with their audiences. 

Mission to EarthPhase – Moonshine Gold Celebrates the Harvest Moon
 

This MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD features an earth phase at the 10 o’clock position and a moon phase indicator at 2 o’clock. A unique complication first introduced by Swatch in 2024, the earth phase indicator on this model showcases the Earth with UV-coated oceans set against a star-studded back­drop. The moon phase indicator displays two full moons, both coated in OMEGA’s Moonshine™ Gold, one designed in the distinctive style of Snoopy’s world, and the other inspired by the Harvest or Corn Moon, the full moon set to appear on the eve of this watch’s release. Both indicators follow a 29.5-day cycle but move in counterclockwise motion relative to each other. As a result, when the moon phase shows a full moon, the earth phase simultaneously displays a new earth and vice versa.
 

At the 9 o’clock position, just below the earth phase, Snoopy and his loyal friend Woodstock sit on the Moon, gazing at the Earth. A hidden phrase, visible only under UV light, playfully honors the pioneering spirit of the Moonwatch and those who are the first to imagine things differently.
 

Like all Bioceramic MoonSwatch models, this MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD is made from Swatch’s patented Bioceramic, a blend of ceramic and biosourced materials from castor oil. Featuring a color that was created exclusively for this collection, a distinctive dark navy blue that evokes the endless depths of space, it boasts many of the iconic features of OMEGA’s legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, including an asymmetrical case and distinctive and recessed Speedmaster subdial.
 

The OMEGA X Swatch logos are proudly displayed on its dial and crown, and its mission statement is engraved on the back of its case. The battery cover features an Earth-inspired design, while the navy VELCRO® rubber strap adds a dash of astronaut cool.
 

This model will be available at selected Swatch stores worldwide only on September 8, the day after the full moon. As with the whole Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, only one watch can be purchased per person, and per store. MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD
