At 19, Krishiv Tekchandani Builds India’s Ultra-Luxury Watch House
Krishiv Tekchandani is a 19-year-old golfer from India who has won more than 100 trophies.
During the COVID-19 period, he gave all his prize money to help workers at his golf club get vaccinated.

This small number is meant to make the watches rare and special.
Krishiv says the brand is being made in India for customers around the world.
A part of the company’s earnings will support widows of Indian Army soldiers.
