Royal Watch Company

Royal Watch Company is over at 3123 Gandhi Road in Ahmedabad. This is a very busy street with shops lined up everywhere, and we’ve been in this same spot for many years now. Our shop is quite small and it’s basically packed from floor to ceiling with all kinds of watches and clocks. You can hear the sound of hundreds of them ticking all at the same time, which is just something we are used to. Most of our working hours are spent sitting at our small benches with tiny tools and magnifiers. It’s a lot of sitting and focusing on very small parts. We don’t have a big, shiny showroom with bright lights. The place feels more like a workshop because there are always tools and spare parts laying around. Gandhi Road is never quiet, there’s always the sound of traffic and people outside, but inside the shop, things feel a bit slower. We don’t do any big advertising or even have a fancy website. Most of our customers come in because their family has been coming here for a long time. We just open the doors in the morning, do our repairs, sell a few things, and go home when the sun goes down. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living and we’ve stuck with it for a long time. The lighting is okay, but we use lamps to see the gears.
