Mary Kom’s journey from small-town girl to five-time World Amateur Boxing champion has been nothing short of phenomenal. After inspiring a movie about her life, Kom is now the muse for Gc watches; the Swiss watch brand has created two timepieces to celebrate the boxer’s achievements.
“[She’s] an aspirational young achiever which completely fits with the brand’s DNA,” said Ivana Perovic Shah, CEO of AP Group.
Gc – 1 Class, a chronograph with a textured brown leather strap, is the men’s watch (pictured above) and for women, there’s the Gc Diver Chic watch (next slide), made entirely out of rose gold. Both timepieces are available at Gc and Guess Accessories boutiques in Delhi and Mumbai.
