5 Luxury Watches Inspired By Hindu Gods With Prices: Jacob & Co., Franck Muller, Chopard To Blancpain Villeret

In India, devotion often finds its way into the physical things believers like to tote around. A Ganesha idol sits on a car dashboard, a Hanuman pendant stays close to the heart, and images of Lord Ram find a place in homes, offices and increasingly, on wrists. Watchmakers have taken this connection further, bringing Hindu mythology to the wrist through miniature sculptures, hand-painted dials and precious-metal engraving. The luxury watches inspired by Hindu gods include Jacob & Co.'s Shri Ramchandra, Franck Muller's Vanguard Ram Lalla, Chopard's L.U.C XP Urushi Ganesh, Blancpain's Villeret Shakudo Ganesh and Jaipur Watch Company's hand-painted Lord Shiva timepiece. Each approaches the subject differently, combining religious symbolism with traditional artistry and mechanical watchmaking. Here are 5 luxury watches insired by Hindu gods, starting with Jacob & Co., along with their prices, ranging anything between Rs 4.20 crore, Rs 31,25,000 and even Rs 30,000. We also look at the craftsmanship.
