The technical barriers are massive. Luxury mechanical watchmaking isn't just about assembly - it's about micromechanical engineering at tolerances of a few micrometers. The tooling, expertise, and quality control systems required take decades to develop. Even established manufacturers like Seiko took 50+ years to compete with Swiss luxury. India would need to invest billions in R&D and accept decades of losses before producing anything comparable to Patek Philippe or Vacheron Constantin.
