When watchmaking meets mythology.

Anant Ambani was spotted wearing the custom Opera Godfather Baguette “Shiva”, a one-of-one masterpiece crafted in 18K rose gold and adorned with over 300 baguette-cut diamonds across the case alone.

At the centre of this extraordinary creation stands a bespoke Shiva figurine housed within a flying triple-axis tourbillon, while a 120-note musical mechanism brings the iconic Godfather melody to life on demand.

Part haute horlogerie, part mechanical theatre, this is watchmaking at its most extravagant.
