According to Khan, "I take great deal of pride in seeking out unused and forgotten watches of an antique nature".

A 1910 French watch in the shop is a real beauty . The neatly arranged pocket watches are a big favourite with the customers, including not just foreigners but also Indians who take pride in possessing some of these timeless masterpieces.
