What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The microbrand market has formed two distinct segments. Below roughly INR 67,000, the market emphasizes technical specifications, such as water resistance and movement quality. Above the INR 2 Lakh threshold, the conversation shifts away from specifications toward scarcity, hand finishing, and the brand's narrative and credibility.
