Peninsula Professional – Watches Celebrating the Great Indian Outdoors
In the spirit of producing world-class watches based on modern Indian themes, Bangalore Watch Company has introduced their latest watch collection – Peninsula Professional. This new collection is a line of watches that celebrate the story of India's natural landscapes, and geographic diversity. Limited Edition Watch – Mannar – The Peninsula Professional 'The story of India is not merely centuries old, but hundreds of millions of years old. The Indian peninsula formed when a landmass separated from an ancient continent called Gondwana, about 180 million years ago,' said Nirupesh Joshi, the Co-founder of the brand. 'Watch brands from around the world have always focused on nature and outdoors. Specific lines of watches have been created for recreational purposes like diving or hiking. Our Peninsula collection is an all-purpose outdoor watch – it can be used 200 meters underwater in the Indian Ocean, as well as 8000 meters above sea level on a Himalayan peak,' added Mercy Amalraj, Co-founder and Head of Ownership Experience of the brand. The Indian outdoors is so diverse – there are the Himalayan peaks, our Oceans, and the lush Rainforests. A single-purpose recreational luxury watch does not do justice to this incredible diversity. The Peninsula Professional collection has been designed from the ground up to reimagine the recreational luxury outdoor watches category. The design of the watch is inspired by the single most ubiquitous element in nature – the Pebble stone. Its bezel-less design is a big change from traditional outdoor watches. While dive watches have a rotating bezel for tracking time underwater, the Peninsula Professional is made for a variety of outdoor environments. By removing the bezel, the team has expanded the amount of dial space, focusing on legibility and luminosity. Built entirely using a surgical-grade steel body, with a scratch-resistant superdome Sapphire crystal, powered by a Swiss Sellita Automatic movement, and built for 200 Meters of watertightness, the watches are built for a variety of activities like watersports and hiking. 'As a young brand, we've always pushed the envelope when it comes to storytelling and technical capabilities. We built a wristwatch that was qualified for Spaceflight, we have built watches using materials recovered fighter-planes and aircraft carriers. With this new watch, we are pushing the limits on a watch that can withstand our customers' pursuits in the Great Outdoors,' added Mercy Amalraj. We are presenting four watches as part of this launch – Agumbe – celebrating the lush rainforests of India, Laccadive – a tribute to the 7500 Kms of Indian coastlines, Zanskar – tells our love for the Himalayas and the high-peaks, and lastly a limited-edition watch called the Mannar. For 2000 years, freedivers risked deep waters to find rare wild pearls in the Gulf of Mannar region between India and Sri Lanka. These pearls were highly valued and became symbols of power. Mannar contains a dial made entirely from a rare black mother-of-pearl. It has unique patterns that tell the story of the regions past. Each watch is unique owing to the natural striations in the mother of pearl. The Peninsula Professional watch is priced at INR 1,10,000 (USD 1,300 approximately) and can be ordered via the brand's website About Bangalore Watch Company™ Bangalore Watch Company™ produces world-class, luxury wristwatches from India. Each collection, produced in limited numbers, tells stories from the Indian Air Force, Indian space program and others from modern-India. Founded in India's watchmaking ground-zero in 2018, the brand has built an enthusiastic following around the world with patrons in over 30 countries.

Mannar has emerged as a prominent name in the digital landscape, particularly in the realm of gaming, where creativity knows no bounds. Recognized for her outstanding contributions, she has become one of the leading figures in Bahrain's gaming community, playing a pivotal role in shaping the country's presence in this global arena. Through her innovative projects, she has revived well-known landmarks, offering gaming enthusiasts an unparalleled opportunity to explore Bahrain from a fresh and exciting perspective. In a recent interview, Mannar shared insights into her journey in the gaming industry, shedding light on how she successfully blended virtual experiences with real-world landmarks, creating a unique fusion that has captured the imagination of both locals and visitors alike. What Inspired You to Highlight Bahrain's Landmarks in Gaming? 'I have always been a fan of gaming ever since its inception,' Mannar began. 'As a gamer, I began experimenting with creating digital representations of my favorite places, including those in Bahrain. Over time, my skills grew, and I found myself increasingly inspired to use gaming as a tool to highlight the unique features of Bahrain's architectural and cultural heritage.' She further explained that after the challenges posed by the global pandemic, she saw an opportunity to share Bahrain's beauty in a digital form, making it accessible to people worldwide. Her exploration led her to develop detailed in-game representations of famous local locations such as Moda Mall, Bahrain Fort, and the city of Manama, allowing players to experience these iconic sites in a whole new light. Did You Collaborate with Local Businesses to Integrate Real-World Landmarks into Your Designs? 'Yes,' she affirmed. 'As I continued working on these gaming projects, I began focusing on well-known restaurants and landmarks within Bahrain. I wanted to bring more attention to our local dining spots, like Hala Café, which had not been highlighted in global gaming landscapes. With the help of tools like Google Earth, I was able to virtually explore these places from every angle, ensuring that the digital representations were as authentic as possible.' What Did You Learn from Your Work with Local Businesses and Landmarks? Mannar shared that her experience with local businesses taught her the importance of blending the modern world with traditional design in a way that resonated with both local and international audiences. 'Through this journey, I had the chance to explore Islamic architecture and the intricate details of traditional designs. Each project helped me refine my approach to creating virtual worlds that were deeply connected to the real world,' she said. What's the Longest Project You've Worked On? 'One of the longest projects I worked on was the 'Round the World' exhibition,' she recalled. 'It was an extensive project that required me to blend detailed models and real-life imagery to showcase landmarks from around the globe. While the project timeline was long, it was a rewarding experience that pushed me to think creatively about how I could bring the world's wonders to a virtual space.' Looking Ahead: Future Goals in Gaming and Architecture Mannar emphasized that her journey in the gaming industry has always been about more than just passion—it has been a way to showcase and celebrate Bahrain's rich cultural heritage. As she continues to develop new projects, she remains focused on creating even more immersive and innovative virtual experiences that highlight both modern and traditional elements of Bahraini life. With her continued success, Mannar is determined to push the boundaries of gaming in Bahrain, offering future generations the chance to experience the kingdom's landmarks in new and exciting ways. For her, the possibilities are limitless, and she is eager to bring even more iconic locations to life, blending tradition with modernity to create a truly unique digital experience.
