Aiming at beefing its presence in the women's segment of the watch market, Titan Industries
has launched its new range of Fastrack watches for women aged 18-30, a fashion brand to
match the aspirations of women who would want an Espirit but at an affordable price.

Bijou Kurien, V-P, sales and marketing, Titan, told The Times of India that a similar range of
fashion watches for men will hit the stores in six months. The company will also update the
newly launched range every six months or so in keeping with changes in the fashion scene
worldwide, Kurien added.

The Fastrack range will be launched initially in the top eight cities and Titan is eyeing sales of
100,000 watches in the first year. The potential market for this fashion brand of watches for
women is half-a-million and with the trend sure to catch on, the segment is bound to grow,
Kurien pointed out. An ad campaign developed by Lintas for the Fastrack women's range will be
out on print and television by the month-end.

The trendy collection of women's watches in 20 styles showcases the latest in international
design and materials, using the steel look, in interesting geometric shapes, colours and finishes.
Priced between Rs 995-1,950, Titan is positioning the range as an accessory for the fashion-
conscious woman.

"Today's young woman is looking for accessories that complement her evolved taste in
clothes. She wants to make a statement and the new collection from Fastrack reinforces this
ethos," Kurien said. Currently, in the international arena, the steel, minimalistic look with pastel
colours is in, he added.

He said this launch is part of Titan's strategy to develop this market. Earlier, the company
believed that with its Raga range of dressy watches, apart from its general offerings, the woman
as a customer had been adequately catered to.

"But we now feel that women are looking for a fashion brand, a segment that had been the
exclusive preserve of US and European makers," Kurien noted. This Fastrack range is a
competitive offering to Espirit, making an international-class product available at an affordable
price, he added. The company decided to have a winter launch since internationally, winter is
the season for fashion.
