Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, the founder—and I’m so glad you’re here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts; it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s heritage. My journey began in the corporate world, but my heart always belonged to travel, culture, and art. Collecting pieces of history filled me with a joy I couldn’t ignore—and that joy grew into The Blue Trunk.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk—a symbol of everything we stand for. Today, I’m thrilled to share that same charm with you, wherever you are in India. Through our website, you can now explore and experience the collection anytime, from anywhere.
So, take a wander, discover what speaks to you, and let’s keep the magic alive—together.
With warmth,
Ujval Anand

The beautiful vintage piece is among the rare and sought after table clocks made by Wehrle in Germany. Wehrle clocks are known world over for their fine quality musical clocks. Emilian Wehrle was a famous clock maker, whose father started the clock making business on a small scale in 1842.
It is known that he established the Wehrle firm and never manufactured clocks in large quantities as other Black Forest clockmakers, he just made enough clocks for the customers who could actually afford them. These period clocks were high quality and expensive and therefore, considered to be a rarity these days. Some of these special clocks are present in the German Clock Museum. The company exists till date but has started producing technical precision parts for water meter industry.
This particular piece is the Wehrle three-in-one Jeweled shockproof clock from the 1950's in a fully working condition. It is a rust, dust and shock proof strike and alarm clock made of chrome. The digits in the dial and needle have a ‘night-glow’ feature which enables one to see the time in the dark. It has strike as well as alarm capabilities which are functional. The clock is present in a very good condition, with no cracks or scratches on the glass.
