Bhim Chandra Nag's sweet shop is famous in Boubazar, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Many people have gone or go to that store because of the desire to eat sweets. But when you go there, you will see a rare watch The hours on its dial are written in Bengali A rare history surrounds such watches.
Barasaheb ( that company's Boss) of the famous watch company 'Cook and Kelvi' came to eat sweets in that shop once. He was completely enthralled by Bhim Chandra Nag's sweets.
That time the gentleman asked to know, make such good sweets; Why is there no clock in such a big store? Then Bhima Nag became a bit unprepared A little embarrassed, He said to scratch his head, 'On command, the watch has not been bought.'
Hearing that, the gentleman said, he will be happy to give a wall clock to this shop Then Mr. Nag informed that his employees could not read English.
Therefore, he requested, if in that case a watch written in Bengali is given, then the employees will be very benefited.
Barasaheb (that company's Boss) was so happy to eat sweets that day that he informed that arrangements wil be made for him too. That's how dials written in Bengali letters came from London Dial in Bengali was written in the hand of Sahebi Shilpi (In fact, what is meant here is how 'a British artist' wrote Bengali letters with an unskillful hand). That clock still adorns Bhim Nag's shop In the middle of the clock, the name of 'Cook and Kelvy' is also written in Bengali, London is written below.
Incidentally, the beginning of 'Cook and Kelvy' of London was in the city of Kolkata. In 1858, Robert Thomas Cook and Charles Kelvey founded the company. At that time, the clock structure and dials were made from London, England.
