The show, Samay Raina’s ‘India’s Got Latent’ (Season 2, Episode 4), featured global icon Karan Aujla and comedy kingpin Tanmay Bhat, each sporting a timepiece that made headlines.

• Tanmay Bhat showcased the **Rotoris Astonia Stealth Silver**, a flagship piece from an Indian brand, priced at **₹71,000**.

Aujla’s Richard Mille RM 67-02 became a viral talking point due to its astronomical price and its association with elite athletes. This high-tech, ultra-light timepiece perfectly matched his independent artist vibe.

Bhat, an investor in Rotoris, championed the ‘New India’ narrative with his Astonia Stealth Silver. It highlighted Indian craftsmanship and innovation in mechanical watches, challenging the traditional focus on Swiss brands.
