Shailesh Time sits on the second floor of Arjun Complex, right at unit 201. It’s directly across from the Ashirwad Complex in Surat, which is a big landmark people use to find us. Being on the upper floor means it’s a little quieter than being right on the street, but you still hear the honking and the city noise. We’ve got a lot of glass display cases that run along the walls. They’re filled with all sorts of watches, some with metal bands and some with leather. The lighting in the complex can be a bit flickering sometimes, so we have our own lamps inside the shop to see clearly. The workspace is at the back, where we keep the tweezers and the tiny screwdrivers. Sometimes it feels like we’re surrounded by time, with all the faces staring back at us. We don’t have much room for fancy decorations, so it’s mostly just the products and the tools. Customers usually come up the stairs and take a second to catch their breath before looking around. We have a few stools for them to sit on. The Arjun Complex has been around for a while, and you can see it in the walls and the stairs. We like the spot because it’s central. People drop off their watches and go do their other shopping in Surat, then come back later. It’s a steady rhythm that we’ve gotten used to over the years here.
