At Ramayana Trailer Launch, Ranbir Kapoor Wears A ₹78 Lakh Jacob & Co. Watch Featuring Ram Mandir, Lord Rama And Hanuman
Ranbir Kapoor wore a ₹78 lakh Jacob & Co. Epic X Ram Janmabhoomi Rose Gold watch at the Ramayana trailer launch in Bengaluru. Here's what makes it special
Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated Ramayana and was recently in Bengaluru for the launch of the international trailer on October 15. The event featured co-stars Sai Pallavi, Ravi Dubey, Yash and Rakul Preet Singh, alongside director Nitesh Tiwari and composer AR Rahman.
And, quite expectedly, there was plenty of attention on Kapoor, who plays Lord Rama in the film. He greeted fans in Kannada, earning cheers from the crowd, and spoke about the responsibility of portraying one of Hinduism’s most revered figures on screen. But amid the applause, another detail stood out: the watch on his wrist. Kapoor wore the Jacob & Co. Epic X Ram Janmabhoomi Rose Gold Special Edition, a timepiece listed at a starting price of ₹78 lakh.
It was a fitting accessory for an event centred on a cinematic retelling of the epic. The watch’s design incorporates imagery associated with Ram Janmabhoomi, including the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Lord Rama with his bow and Lord Hanuman. Here, the appeal extends beyond the price tag to a design that brings religious symbolism into the world of high-end horology.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Ram Janmabhoomi Watch
The Epic X Ram Janmabhoomi Rose Gold Special Edition belongs to Jacob & Co.’s Epic X collection, known for its openworked design language and sculptural cases. The Ram Janmabhoomi edition takes that contemporary watchmaking aesthetic in a more devotional direction. The miniature depictions of the Ram Mandir, Lord Rama and Lord Hanuman are among its most famous features.
The watch pairs its rose gold construction with an orange strap and pin buckle, while the clasp is also crafted from rose gold. The warm colour palette gives the timepiece a striking finish, with the orange strap adding a vivid contrast to the metal case.
Jacob & Co.’s Epic X Collection And Its Indian Editions
The Epic X collection was introduced in 2015 and underwent a major redesign in 2022, with refinements across its variants and the introduction of new materials. Jacob & Co. has also created India-inspired editions that incorporate recognisable Indian landmarks into its watch designs. The Epic X India Edition features four monuments—the Taj Mahal, India Gate, Gateway of India and Qutub Minar—represented through detailed two-dimensional titanium designs.
The Ram Janmabhoomi edition follows a similar idea of making the watch more than a conventional luxury accessory, using its design to tell a story rooted in Indian heritage. The collection’s Ram Janmabhoomi line is available in different material variants, with prices varying according to the edition. The Titanium Edition is listed at ₹35.88 lakh, while the Rose Gold Edition is priced at ₹78 lakh. Gold Edition variants are listed in the ₹83 lakh to ₹1.08 crore range.
