Bengaluru: Ask any hardcore Indian watch collector about fashion house wristwear, and you will usually get the exact same collective eyeroll.

Bengaluru: The modern retail ecosystem is undergoing a dramatic structural transformation. Malls are no longer viewed by design-conscious urban shoppers as mere physical aggregation points for clothing racks and food courts.
