Aspect Bullion & Refinery Unveil India’s First Futuristic Gold & Silver Vending Machine on the occasion of International Women’s Day
Announced at the 10th India International Bullion Summit (IIBS), this revolutionary innovation transforms gold and silver shopping with unmatched convenience and technology
Aspect Bullion & Refinery, a leading division of conglomerate Aspect Global Ventures Pvt. Ltd., in association with the India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA), has unveiled India’s first cutting-edge Gold and Silver Vending Machine. The groundbreaking innovation was unveiled at the 10th India International Bullion Summit (IIBS), organized by IBJA in partnership with the World Gold Council.
Launched on the occasion of International Women’s Day, this initiative aims to empower consumers, especially women, by offering a secure, transparent, and hassle-free way to purchase gold and silver at real-time market prices. According to the World Gold Council, Indian women collectively hold 24,000 tons of gold, exceeding the combined reserves of the U.S., Germany, Italy, France, and Russia. Recognizing this deep-rooted cultural and financial affinity, Aspect Bullion’s vending machine leverages advanced technology to offer a convenient, secure, and confident way to invest in precious metals.
The 10th India International Bullion Summit, held from March 7-8, provided an ideal platform to introduce this revolutionary advancement in bullion retail. The event brought together industry leaders, leading bullion and jewelry traders, precious metal mining and refining experts, central and bullion banks, commodity exchanges, logistics firms, media analysts, and government officials.
This cutting-edge vending machine offers a secure and hassle-free way to purchase gold and silver coins and bars in exclusive designs and packaging, with live streaming of market prices and a uniform price across India. Biometric authentication prevents fraud, while multiple payment options— cards, and digital wallets—ensure seamless transactions. Expanding its reach, Aspect Bullion will soon launch gold and silver vending machines at malls, temples, and airports, enabling quick, staff-free purchases with live market rates. The brand is also entering e-marketplaces for secure online bullion transactions.

Aksha Kamboj, Executive Chairperson of Aspect Global Ventures Pvt. Ltd. and Vice President of IBJA, highlighted the significance of this innovation, stating, “In India, Gold is more than just a metal – It is a symbol of security, heritage, and prosperity, especially for women. By introducing the country’s first gold and silver vending machine, we are merging tradition with cutting-edge technology, making investments more accessible, transparent, and secure. This initiative is a game-changer in the bullion industry, bringing gold ownership into the digital age while retaining its deep cultural value. IIBS with its legacy of shaping India’s bullion industry, serves as the perfect platform to introduce this revolutionary advancement in gold and silver accessibility.”
Prithviraj Kothari, National President of IBJA, reinforced IBJA’s commitment to innovation, adding, “India’s bullion industry is evolving rapidly, and technology is the key to its future. Aspect Bullion’s vending machine revolutionizes gold retailing by offering convenience, security, and market transparency. At IBJA, we are committed to driving advancements that strengthen trust and efficiency in gold investments.”

Van Cleef & Arpels Introduces The Ludo Secret Watch, Where Jewellery Hides Time
The Maison Reimagines Its Iconic 1934 Design Through A Hidden Timepiece Wrapped In High Jewellery Elegance.
Van Cleef & Arpels has unveiled its new Ludo Secret watch, a creation that seamlessly blurs the line between high jewellery and functional timekeeping. Reviving one of the Maison’s most iconic designs first introduced in 1934, the collection draws inspiration from the shape of a belt and the sophistication of couture jewellery, transforming a watch into an elegant statement piece.
Designed to conceal its purpose at first glance, the Ludo Secret watch wraps around the wrist with polished yellow gold links accented by vivid blue sapphires. Its hidden utility is revealed through a clever mechanism — a gentle press on both sides of the jewellery buckle unveils a white mother-of-pearl dial, offering an element of surprise and reinforcing the Maison’s signature approach to mystery, craftsmanship and timeless elegance.



The design reflects Van Cleef & Arpels’ long-standing expertise in transforming everyday objects into artistic expressions, where technical precision and jewellery craftsmanship coexist. The Ludo collection, originally inspired by a belt design created by Louis Arpels, has remained one of the Maison’s most recognisable signatures over the decades and continues to evolve through contemporary reinterpretations.
More than a traditional wristwatch, the Ludo Secret watch represents a growing movement within luxury timepieces where wearability, storytelling and design innovation take centre stage. By concealing the time display beneath an intricate jewellery composition, the creation offers both practical utility and a sense of discovery, making it a distinctive addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking pieces that extend beyond conventional watchmaking.
