Ethos Watches—one of the leading watch retailers in India has upped the ante in the business of luxury timepieces in the country. The company has gone all out to launch City of Time in Gurugram, NCR an ambitious project, offering a one-of-a-kind, immersive retail experience for horology enthusiasts and buyers. Sprawled across 22,000 sq ft, this destination features seven exclusive brand boutiques, two multi-brand galleries with 50+ independent brands, watchmaking zones, bars, a cigar lounge and more… A spectacular offering for those who are invested in haute horlogerie and fine craftsmanship!
