Titan changed the way watches were designed, manufactured and marketed; Titan revolutionized the Indian Watch Industry and today watches are considered as a fashion accessory, rather than a time keeping device.
Titan watches, the most trusted and popular watches in India are manufactured at Hosur, an Industrial suburb of Tamil Nadu, India. Set up in 1985, with initially planned annual capacity of 2 million, today the unit produces components for over 11 million quartz analog wrist watches, thanks to the state-of-art manufacturing facilities at the unit.
Titan Industries’ Movement manufacturing set-up was established in technical collaboration with France Ebauches, a leading quartz analog movement manufacturer in France. In 1989, watch case manufacturing technology was obtained from Citizen Watch Co. of Japan and in mid 90s, the technology for complicated watch cases and solid link bracelets manufacture was obtained from a Swiss company. State of art physical vapour coating facilities have been established with the help of technology from German and Swiss coating expert companies.
A Watch Assembly unit was established at Dehradun in 1990 and another since then, two more assembly units are functional: Roorkee, Utharakhand (2007) and the latest one at Pantnagar, Utharakhand (2010). Today, Titan Industries' watch assembly capacity is about 13 million watches per annum.
Titan Industries is one of the very few manufacturers in the world that manufactures watch movements, watch cases and watch assembly under one roof. It is the fifth largest, integrated watch manufacturer and retailer in the world. From the initial offering of 150 models in 1987, today the supply chain and manufacturing set-up has the capability to handle over 3000 watch variants every year, the fact that depicts the product mix complexity. In-house watch case plant has unique capability to produce range of products that varies from cost effective value for money products to complex designs that adore the wrists of different brands’ customers like Titan, Fastrack and Sonata. In-house movement plant produces the world’s slimmest movement “Edge” with pride.
