FOSSIL, the global lifestyle brand celebrated for its timeless design and creative innovation, hosted an unforgettable evening at Snowball Studios in Mumbai on September 9 to celebrate the launch of the limited-edition “Machine Luxe” capsule, in partnership with the brand’s global ambassador, global superstar, actor and philanthropist, Nick Jonas.
A lifelong watch enthusiast whose first timepiece was a FOSSIL, Nick Jonas has teamed up with leading watch and accessories brand FOSSIL for a bold and nostalgic new collection. Launched on August 20, 2025, the collection reimagines FOSSIL’s bold and bestselling Machine platform and blend's Jonas's passion for watch collecting and distinct personal style. The collection features seven watches and two signature watch rings, spotlighting sunray, stone, and skeletonized dials in striking shades of Blue Vignette, Gold-Toned, Malachite, Aventurine, and Marble.
Drawing inspiration from the full-circle global campaign captured in Jonas' native New Jersey, his nostalgia for classic American diners, and his launch event in NYC, FOSSIL recreated the iconic setting in Mumbai with an immersive affair. Guests stepped into a retro-chic diner experience where neon lights, bold design, and interactive moments echoed the spirit of the new collection. Taking center stage was a hero installation of the Nick Jonas watch collection, showcasing statement sunray and stone dials, refined automatics, and FOSSIL’s signature watch rings. Adding to the charm was a Milkshake Glass Engraving Station, where attendees personalized diner-style glasses as keepsakes, capturing the brand’s ethos of creativity and connection.
Speaking at the occasion, Johnson Verghese, Managing Director, FOSSIL India, said, “This collection is truly special and is designed in collaboration with Nick Jonas. It blends FOSSIL’s timeless craftsmanship with his unique personal style, creating pieces that feel both nostalgic and modern. It’s a reflection of our shared belief that great design tells a story, and we’re thrilled to share that story with our community of watch enthusiasts in India.”
The evening saw an eclectic mix of celebrities and influencers, including Aashna Shroff, Juhi Godambe, Ritwik Dhanjani, and Anjali Anand, who brought in their unique style and personality, perfectly in tune with FOSSIL’s fashion-first spirit.

NICK JONAS
After electrifying music from multiple angles, appearing in blockbuster films, and launching successful business ventures, Nick Jonas still challenges himself and popular culture. Of course, his story as one-third of Jonas Brothers remains well-documented—especially given the band’s chart-dominating 2019 comeback Happiness Begins, sold out tours, and subsequent GRAMMY® Award nomination. At the same time, he established himself as a dynamic solo artist with a penchant for breaking boundaries. 2014’s self-titled Nick Jonas yielded the triple-platinum “Jealous,” double-platinum “Chains,” and gold-certified “Levels.” Its 2016 follow-up Last Year Was Complicated spawned the anthem “Close” [feat. Tove Lo] and brought his streams into the billions. In 2017, he contributed the Golden Globe® Award-nominated “Home” to the Ferdinand soundtrack. Meanwhile, his songwriting would be recognized with the prestigious Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2016, and in 2021, he released his solo studio album Spaceman via Island Records. Along the way, he also captivated audiences as a recurring judge on NBC’s “The Voice” in big screen favorites such as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Ugly Dolls, Midway, Jumanji: The Next Level, Chaos Walking and more. In 2023, he starred in Robert Schwartzman’s The Good Half and is now set to return to the silver screen alongside Paul Rudd in the upcoming musical comedy Power Ballad. In 2023, Nick and Jonas Brothers once again proved they are a constant force, embarking on a new era with the release of The Album, via Republic Records. The Album was produced by Jon Bellion and features hit singles “Waffle House” and “Wings.” In support of the new album and this new era for Jonas Brothers, they kicked off “The Tour” kicking off with two sold-out shows at New York's iconic Yankee Stadium. “The Tour” included stadium and arena dates around the globe through 2024, resulting in the band's biggest and most extensive tour to date. 2025 marks 20 years of Jonas Brothers, with their upcoming studio album Greetings From Your Hometown set for release via Republic Records on August 8, followed by a celebratory tour kicking off in their home state of New Jersey at MetLife Stadium on August 10.
