₹78 lakh on his wrist! Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana watch hides a special connection

₹78 lakh surprise

Ranbir Kapoor arrived at the Ramayana international trailer launch in Bengaluru on October 15, but it wasn't just his appearance that grabbed attention. The actor, who plays Lord Rama and Lord Parshurama in the film, wore a Jacob & Co. Epic X Ram Janmabhoomi Rose Gold Special Edition watch. Priced at ₹78 lakh on luxury watch retailer Ethos, the timepiece carried a striking connection to the film's religious and cultural theme.

Golden details

The watch's appeal goes beyond its elaborate engravings. Ranbir Kapoor's Epic X Ram Janmabhoomi Special Edition features a rose gold case, an orange strap and a pin buckle with a rose gold clasp. The design belongs to Jacob & Co.'s Epic X collection, first introduced in 2015 and redesigned in 2022. The combination of precious metal, detailed religious artwork and bold colour gives the timepiece an appearance unlike a conventional luxury watch.

Crore connection

₹78 lakh is not even the highest price in Jacob & Co.'s Ram Janmabhoomi watch range. According to Ethos Watches, the Titanium Edition costs ₹35.88 lakh, while the Rose Gold Edition worn by Ranbir Kapoor is listed at Rs 78 lakh. Other gold variants are priced between ₹83 lakh and ₹1.08 crore. The collection also has a broader India connection, with Epic X India Edition watches featuring monuments such as the Taj Mahal, India Gate, Gateway of India and Qutub Minar.

Temple on wrist

What makes Ranbir Kapoor's ₹78 lakh watch so unusual? The Jacob & Co. timepiece features intricate engravings inspired by Ram Janmabhoomi, including a miniature representation of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Lord Rama holding his bow and Lord Hanuman. According to Ethos Watches, inscriptions of Hindu deities also appear on the dial and bezel, turning the luxury watch into a tribute to the temple and its spiritual significance.
