The investment comes from a group of high-net-worth Indian investors and is set to fuel product innovation, brand awareness, and online growth as the company aims to double its revenue this year.
Founded by M. Shahiwala, Argos Watches specializes in high-quality, vintage-style automatic and hand-wound timepieces at accessible prices, ranging between ₹8,000 and ₹20,000.

“This investment validates our vision of bringing precision-driven mechanical watches to Indian consumers,” said Channiwala. “With strong investor backing, we are set to scale operations, introduce new models, and push the boundaries of Indian watchmaking.”

India’s luxury watch market, valued at over ₹10,000 crore, is witnessing steady growth, driven by rising disposable incomes and a growing preference for mechanical timepieces over quartz alternatives.
