Monochrome Watches
With the Cover Drive Collection, we honour cricket, a game that has become a way of life in India. Cricket came to India in the 1700s during British rule, but it was in 1932 that Indian teams began competing overseas. This collection pays tribute to the sport and its importance in the country through every element of the watch.
In Monochrome, Erik Slaven talks about how the Cover Drive Collection is inspired by cricket. The dials, named Pavilion, Outfield, and Pitch, show details like cricket stumps, wickets, and boundary shots. Each cricket-inspired watch in the collection brings the game to life.
It shows how cricket can be part of watchmaking and is a way to share the game's story and it's role in India. We will keep making watches that tell such stories, connecting with people through designs that have meaning and history. Read the full story here.
