Esha Gupta talks watches, and Andrew reveals his new watch alert!
Time+TideAndrew welcomes Bollywood actress, model, environmentalist, and Indian superstar Esha Gupta to the Time+Tide London Watch Discovery Studio, where they dive into the worlds of cinema and watches with passion and insight. Their conversation reveals Esha’s love for watches, which she views as expressions of personality and storytelling, rather than mere status symbols. Andrew showcases his new prized watch, the Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 42, highlighting its unique technical features and design, while Esha shares the story behind the elegant mint green ceramic Hublot watch she wore when they met.
The dialogue explores the emotional connection both share with watches and their appeal beyond traditional gender norms. Esha discusses her favourite Hublot pieces and the brand’s bold, innovative spirit that resonates with her own independent personality. The interview also covers Esha’s career highlights, her inspirations, and the cultural impact of watches as personal statements.
The video closes with our playful “watch addict” card game, “The Sickness”, that humorously reflects the irresistible and often costly obsession collectors have with watches, underlining the deep passion both hosts have for the craft. We hope you enjoy the video, and be sure to leave us a comment!
