India is a demand market: supply floats thin here by structure, so an Indian ask, where one exists at all, is shown at its real evidence level rather than blended into a median it could not support. The sourcing column is the lowest verified median for each reference across the world’s markets — where CALIBRÉ actually sources. What a watch finally costs in India adds duty and import taxes on top: the landed-cost calculator does that arithmetic (India’s stack, including the Swiss-origin phase-down), and the methodology page states how every figure is produced. No like-for-like saving is claimed between columns — tax treatment differs per market and this page says so plainly, dated 2026-08-08.
