Saathi rice is on the verge of extinction
Many rice varieties are facing extinction, including Saathi rice, which is cultivated in regions such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana. This coarse, mildly sweet rice is nutritionally dense and beneficial for health. Saathi rice can alleviate issues like dysentery, loss of appetite, and is easy to digest without causing gas. It is traditionally used in dishes during cultural festivities, such as making kheer from sugarcane juice for Chhath Puja in Bihar and laddu for wedding ceremonies in eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Saathi's mild sweetness and sticky consistency make it suitable for kheer and khichdi. It's also commonly served with dal and vegetables due to its low glycemic index. Black rice is another variety available at Organic Haat Nandnagar Karaundi.

For this specific project, Roger has created a Series 1 that reflects his own tastes. In this case, that means a 38mm red gold case with a dial that combines red gold with an engine-turned base in silver. Even in just the few images shared, the watch looks stunning, and there's certainly no shortage of fanfare for the brand's watches, including the Series 1.
