As part of the ceremony, Titan had a showcase of their lineup of watches on display and also had models who paraded them who wore clothing from local designer brand Inisaya who is known for its modern interpretations of traditional batik wear. But for the watch collector in me, it is the specialty pieces that attracted me.
While they are known for watches at the affordable end of the scale and that is their main sales focus here in Malaysia, Titan actually produce some stunning pieces that horological enthusiasts would actually like. I also think that me my attending the event was fruitful as they brought over to a watch showcase their more serious watches, like their Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) nominated watches as well as their open faced meteorite dialed in-house automatic watch called the Titan Stellar. Those who aren't aware, the GPHG is an annual event that celebrates and promotes the art of watchmaking.
The first of this which impressed me is the Titan Edge Ultra Slim (above), a GPHG nominee that features an ultra thin Titan made quartz movement. It deserves its entry to the GPHG as it features quite a unique single handed way of telling time (much like a certain Breguet, but quartz) and featuring a very slim as thin as a credit card, movement. While it may be quartz, it showcases that unique way of telling the time, its slimness and that such innovation isn't limited to the usual suspects. This is a limited edition, most likely a technology demonstrator to prove a point. But I would have loved to own a piece if it was available (hey, its quartz, super slim, single hand watch - convenient, what's not to like?)
The second one is their Edge Squircle (below), which means square and circle combined. This is another GPHG nominee and another limited edition, this one more on case material and its case shape. It is made out of ceramic zirconium and has Titan's in house quartz movement also. While chatting with the folks from Titan I did mention that it was similar to something that Rado would do with their Ceramica line and they just nodded in agreement. Well, from what I see, this is actually just as good to look at.
The third one I was impressed is their in-house automatic watch, the Stellar but with an actual meteorite dial (below). This shows off Titan's watchmaking skills in terms of having its own propietary movement and their dial making technology. The watch, another limited edition comes with a certificate of authenticity stating that the dial comes from an actual meteorite that fell somewhere in Scandinavia.
They also brought out their smart watches, their jewelry style dress watches for the ladies and their 18k gold pieces aside from their regular range and the pieces mentioned above. Quite impressive as these are sold over in their home country India where the brand's awareness level is high.
Titan are actually titans in watchmaking outside of the usual Swiss, Japanese, German brands we see and here. Aside from the models shown above and their prowess in making automatic and quartz movements in-house, they also can make high horology pieces, which unfortunately were not brought to the event. They have their limited edition flying tourbillion pieces, the latest being the Jalsa, a flying tourbillion watch with a hand painted dial.
I suppose this is what 40 years plus of watchmaking can get you. Titan may not be well known for their higher end pieces outside of its home, India, but with the showcase here, I can say that if they keep on with what they are doing, they can be as big as the other big names in the watch industry. Currently, one Titan watch is sold every two seconds globally. They hold 60% of their domestic market over in India and with these innovative products, as well as their jewellery and eyewear divisions, they should be able to grow even more.
With Marco Worldwide as their Malaysian distributors, they now have about 90 outlets carrying their products and we should see more of Titan here over the next few years.
