I am Arpit dhingra and in the small town of Jandiala Guru, time took on a new meaning in 1962 when my grandfather, a visionary and passionate watchmaker, founded Ashoka Watch Company. With skilled hands and a heart full of dreams, he opened the first counter dedicated to the artistry of timepieces. Initially focused on repairing watches, he soon expanded into selling renowned brands , bringing a piece of craftsmanship and elegance to the community.
For decades, Ashoka Watch Company became synonymous with trust and quality. However, life’s clock is unpredictable. On May 3, 2021, we faced a profound loss with the passing of my grandfather.
In the wake of his absence, my father stepped into his shoes, determined to honour his legacy and take ownership of Ashoka Watch Company.
Embracing the digital era, we expanded our presence online, launching our website and active profiles on Social Media. We made it our mission to reach every corner of India, ensuring that our grandfather’s legacy would live on in a new form.
As we navigated this transition, challenges emerged. Competing against established brands like Titan and Sonata wasn’t easy. We faced obstacles in supply chains, branding, and consumer loyalty. Yet, inspired by our grandfather’s resilience, we refused to back down.
This journey led us to a defining decision: to create our own brand under the Ashoka Watch Company name, affectionately branded as “AS.” Where we aimed to cater to every customer’s need and our promise to our customers was simple: quality, authenticity, and timeless elegance.
In September 2024, we successfully participated in an event held in Chandigarh Group of colleges , marking another milestone in our journey. With extreme warm connections , the event showcased our commitment to quality and innovation in watchmaking. This experience further motivated us to expand our reach and continue delivering excellence in timepieces.
In December 2024, We had the oppourtunity of participating in a prestigious event organized at Pitex. The event proved to be a great success, reflecting the strong response to our brand. We also had the opportunity to connect with esteemed industry leaders. These interactions provided valuable insights and networking opportunities.
On 3rd February 2025, We proudly sponsored an event at I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University. As part of this event, we set up an exclusive stall, showcasing our latest collection of timepieces to a diverse audience. A moment of great pride for us was receiving the prestigious Award of Honor from the esteemed Vice Chancellor, recognizing our contributions and entrepreneurial spirit. This event not only enhanced our brand visibility but also reinforced our commitment to delivering quality and style in the watch industry.
