Rajasthani jewellery design is the reference point for this one, strung with pearl-look beads around an adjustable chain closure and finished with a scatter of meenakari-inspired enamel charms in pink and green rather than a single centrepiece. The watch face sits small against the beading, sized to read as jewellery first and a timepiece second.

Meenakari enamelwork is traditionally a technique for solid gold and silver pieces, so it's worth being clear here that this is an enamel finish over a base metal rather than the real craft, done in the same pink-and-green palette that technique is known for. The adjustable chain closure means one size fits a genuine range of wrist sizes without needing a separate clasp adjustment.

It suits festive wear more than an office desk, the kind of piece that reads well against a saree or lehenga for Teej, Karwa Chauth or a wedding function, where a plain watch would look out of place next to the rest of an outfit. Keep it away from perfume and water and the pearl-look beads and enamel finish should hold up through a full festive season.

At ₹249, it's priced as an occasion piece rather than an everyday watch, closer to costume jewellery that happens to tell the time.
