Choosy Cherry Gifts & Watches

If you head down to Brigade Road and find Curzon Complex, we’re right there at number 11. It’s a small shop, but we’ve managed to pack a lot of different things onto the shelves over time. We mostly deal with watches and all sorts of gift items that people pick up when they’re passing through. The space is a bit tight, so you have to be careful not to knock anything over when you’re browsing. We spend a lot of our time changing batteries or helping someone find a birthday present that doesn't cost too much. Brigade Road is always loud and crowded, especially on weekends, so the shop feels like a little escape from all that madness outside. We don’t have a fancy display system; we just put things where they fit. Sometimes we find a watch in the back that we forgot we had. It’s just me and a couple of others working here most days. We get a mix of regulars who have been coming for years and tourists who just wandered in by mistake. Dusting all these tiny watch faces takes forever, and sometimes the lights flicker a bit, but it’s a good little spot. We aren't trying to be the biggest store in Bangalore, just a place where you can find a decent watch or a nice trinket without any stress. We’ve been part of this complex for a long time now.
