Lokhndwala Watch Company

Lokhndwala Watch Company is over at Shop No-3 in the Swiss Palace building in Shastri Nagar, Andheri West. It’s a quiet little corner compared to the main Andheri roads. We’ve been sitting in this shop for a while now, surrounded by the usual clutter of a repair place. There are watches everywhere—some hanging up, some in pieces on the desk, and others tucked away in drawers. We don't have a big staff, just us doing the work. Shastri Nagar is a nice area, mostly residential, so we see the same people going for their morning walks or coming back from the market. We don't try to be something we're not. We’re just a small shop in Swiss Palace where you can get a watch fixed without much fuss. The lighting inside isn't the brightest, but we have our desk lamps for the tricky parts. Sometimes a customer comes in just to talk while we work on their strap. We’ve seen the buildings around us get older and new ones go up, but our routine stays pretty much the same. We open up, tidy the counter a little, and start looking through our magnifying glasses. It’s a slow kind of work in a city that usually moves too fast. We like it that way. If you’re around Andheri West and need a hand with a clock or a watch, you’ll likely find us here at shop number three in Swiss Palace.
