PM Modi's Baagh Watch With '1947 Coin' Wins Hearts At the India AI Summit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi made headlines at the India AI Impact Summit not just for his presence but also for his distinctive wristwatch, which quickly caught the attention of netizens and watch enthusiasts alike. The Prime Minister was seen wearing the “Baagh” watch from Jaipur Watch Company, a timepiece that carries historical significance along with symbolic design elements.

According to the brand’s official website, the watch is priced between ₹55,000 and ₹60,000. What makes the Baagh watch unique is its dial, which incorporates an authentic coin from 1947, the last year of British India. The company preserves the original coin motif and transforms it into a functional wristwatch, turning a piece of history into wearable art.

The tiger engraved on the dial represents strength, courage and forward movement, aligning with India’s growth narrative. Interestingly, this is not the first time the Prime Minister has been spotted wearing the Baagh watch. He has previously worn the same timepiece on multiple occasions, making it a familiar accessory during major public appearances.
