1st Generation

Just before INDIA GOT ITS FREEDOM, in 1940’s a Gentleman by the name of Shree Virbhan Nagpal seeded a small set up in Amritsar which today fruits to a national setup of trading, manufacturing & brand business. This became the beginning of a business era for the Nagpal family in the Horological Industry. Soon Second generation lead by Mr. Tarlok Nagpal continued the legacy in Amritsar to build a strong good will, acquiring a larger geographic reach in the Indian Watch Industry. Continuing the journey for many years, in 1976 brought in the 3rd generation with Bigger Vision and ideas, Mr. Narinder Nagpal & Mr. Jatinder Nagpal, moved out of their home town of Amritsar and opened their next set up in the Financial Hub of India, Mumbai, by the name of Nagpal’s Bombay. This opened access to the International markets and they acquired multiple distributions of International brands in Spare parts. Today, it’s ranked as one of India’s largest sources for wrist watch spare parts.

2nd and 3rd Generation

Gaining the International Business Experience the 2 Young boys, in the urge to grow, started to look for additional Avenues to expand their wings bigger and in 1981 Nagpals Bombay acquired Pan India distribution of watch batteries from global leading brands of Japan & Swiss like Renata, Maxell, Sony & Seizaiken (Seiko Group). This was a BIG and POWERFUL achievement making their mark in the Global Watch Industry….

Of course with no intent to settle with what they have achieved, the Boys kept evolving with the changing trend and realised the moderns market demands, so in 1991 The Nagpal Group created their first watch brand- D’SIGNER to target a niche market in the premium segment, making us one of the first Indian companies to design & manufacture a watch brand with International standards. Today, D’SIGNER is present in more than 75 top MBOS and Online Market places of India.

1995 After achieving an established launch in the premium category, we decided to step into the mass consumer market & planned to launch our next brand ESCORT. This special segment was designed to provide quality watches at a very affordable price.

As time went by Indian Markets Further evolved and opened gates for comfortable imports of International brands. And The Nagpal Family didn’t waste any time to grab the opportunity, So ino 1997 Nagpal Group tied up for distribution of International Swiss & Fashion brands like TISSOT, ROTARY, GIVENCHY, CHRISTIAN BERNARD, YVES BERTLEIN PARIS and more. This was a huge game changer to the business bringing in world class exposure & experience to the family business.
