The million-dollar Vantara-inspired watch made for Anant Ambani

Anant Ambani is known to be a custodian of luxury, limited-edition watches. And now, one brand has decided to give his venture, Vantara, an ode in the most horological way ever.

A watch is a simple accessory – a strap and a dial, a clockwork of precision. But holds the power to effortlessly elevate any look. And while watches tell time, some tell stories too. High-luxury brand Jacob & Co’s Opera Vantara Green Camo, inspired by Anant Ambani, is one such tale of time.

Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani, is himself a custodian of luxury watches. He not just believes in styling them with his looks, but he even gifted some exquisite pieces to his groomsmen during his wedding. And now, one luxury brand has decided to make one inspired by one of their loyal customers. The America-based brand unveiled this ultimate timepiece – a horological ode to the Vantara Global Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Centre in Gujarat.

The watch is nothing short of a carefully curated tableau, where haute horology meets art, intention, and storytelling. The timepiece unfolds like a lush green camouflage, dotted with animals, valuable gemstones, and a figurine of Anant Ambani himself.

Look closer, and the details begin to reveal themselves, one gemstone at a time.

The watch takes its name from Vantara, Ambani’s ambitious wildlife rescue and conservation initiative.

At the heart of the dial stands a hand-painted figurine of Anant Ambani, anchoring the creation and symbolising how he is at the helm of this conservation effort. He is flanked by two powerful symbols of India’s wildlife heritage: a lion and a Bengal tiger. Together, they form a visual narrative of stewardship, responsibility, and protection, values that inspired the watch itself.
