With over 1,100 retail stores in over 220 towns and a network of over 740 after-sales-service centres, The Titan Company is the fifth largest integrated own brand watch manufacturer in the world.
Titan, which has over 400 exclusive World of Titan showrooms and over 150 Fastrack stores, is geared up to repeat the Titan and Tanishq success story with its each new offering. Speaking to Indiaretailing, S Ravi Kant, CEO, Watches and Accessories, Titan shares details about the new products soon to be launched under the premium segment this fiscal and also elaborates on plans of entering cities of UP and MP.
“Every year we launch exciting new products keeping in mind our consumers’ needs. Raga, the sub brand catering to the progressive Indian women, will see the launch of a new collection during the festive season. Also in the pipeline is an entire line of fashionable watches, for both ladies and gents,” he says.
“For the fast growing sports look segment, we will be introducing feature-driven watches that reflect our sport design ethos. We will also be introducing specially crafted solid gold watches under the Nebula brand; limited edition watches embellished with diamonds and precious stones,” he adds.
