Nebula by Titan and Tarun Tahiliani Bring Indian Couture into Fine Watchmaking with Phool Chadar

Nebula by Titan and couturier Tarun Tahiliani have collaborated on Phool Chadar, a collection of 18K gold timepieces that translates elements of Indian couture and bridal craftsmanship into fine watchmaking.

Designed by Tarun Tahiliani and crafted by Nebula, the collection draws from the designer’s visual vocabulary of sculptural florals, intricate jaali patterns, Polki-inspired embellishment, Chandak detailing and antique-finished gold. Select timepieces are powered by Swiss and in-house mechanical movements.

At the centre of the collection is the Phool Chadar motif, associated with joy, blessings and togetherness in Indian wedding traditions. The designs interpret this idea across four principal creations—Gulistan, Kyaari, Kalli and Mandala—alongside the TT Signature Men’s Edition.

Gulistan, priced at ₹24 lakh and limited to 40 pieces, features Chandak detailing across the bezel, first bracelet link and buckle, accented with English uncut Polki diamonds. Kyaari, also limited to 40 pieces and priced at ₹19.5 lakh, takes its form from the traditional kada and combines English uncut Polki with rava work.

The Kalli is offered in both bracelet and leather versions, priced at ₹15.7 lakh and ₹5.85 lakh respectively. The bracelet edition draws on zardozi-inspired detailing, while the leather version combines diamonds, rubellite and onyx with a white topaz crown.

Mandala, priced at ₹3.8 lakh, features a green aventurine dial with partaj and rava work. The ₹6 lakh TT Signature Men’s Edition extends Tahiliani’s jaali motif to a men’s timepiece, with an etched mother-of-pearl dial and an in-house hand-wound mechanical movement.

With Phool Chadar, the collaboration places Indian couture motifs, traditional decorative techniques and contemporary watchmaking within the same object—positioning the timepiece as part of the wider language of modern Indian heirlooms.
