Seventy-eight years of Independence. We have made rockets, medicines, split the atom, and coded the world’s future. We take pride in “Make in India”, in being self-reliant, and in crafting things that carry our  nation’s signature.

But then, when it is time for everything India, why is my original timekeeper not in action? Why can’t we bring back the iconic watch that once told our nation’s story?

HMT, for decades, told our time, kept our time, and was more than an ordinary watch. From farmers in the fields to scientists in labs, from the Prime Minister’s office to the village square, HMT ticked on every wrist. 

Then, the ticking stopped. HMT dropped the ball. Instead of putting up a fight against competitors, it simply collapsed, disappointing millions who swore by its quality. 

HMT deserves a second life in the new India. Designed with the same craftsmanship, but reimagined for today. 

This revival of the original Make in India icon would be a testament to preserving India’s design and manufacturing heritage, creating skilled jobs, and demonstrating self sufficiency.
