The company was founded in 1948 in Bangalore, India by the Government of India. HMT watches were once a common sight in India. The “Para Shock” text on the watch refers to a shock resistant mechanism designed by HMT to protect the watch from damage. The number of jewels in a mechanical watch refers to the number of bearings that use jewels. Jewels are used because they are very hard and wear resistant, which helps to reduce friction in the watch movement and improve accuracy. A higher number of jewels typically indicates a more complex and expensive watch movement.
