Watch maker Titan Co and global information technology major HP have joined
hands to offer a range of smart watches to be launched soon.
The new relationship between
HP Inc. and Titan combine innovative materials, design and custom technology to
deliver products that are responsive, and not intrusive, Titan Co said in a
statement.
“The range of smart watches
will be launched later this year in India and select international markets,” it
added.
Titan Co CEO (Watches and
Accessories Division) S Ravi Kant said the two companies would create a unique
lifestyle offering for people not only in India, but also across the world.
This category of smart
watches is going to change the way people view the art of timekeeping and
beyond. They can still wear “a drop-dead gorgeous watch on their wrist infused
with ’smart’ technology for a new era of access and connectivity”, he added.
HP Inc General Manager,
Wearables and Smart Platforms, Sridhar Solur, said although personal style is
the ultimate self-expression, some smart accessories on the market force
consumers to sacrifice form for function.
“Our legacy of innovation is
helping fashion-forward brands infuse technology into their designs to give
consumers the stylish timepieces they want but that are more connected and
responsive to the way they live today,” Solur said.
Titan, a joint venture
between Tata Group and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO),
has presence in watches, jewellery and eyewear. It had closed 2014-15 with an
income of Rs.11,791 crore, a growth of 9 per cent over the previous year.Agencies
I guess these watches would be Indian made and hope will give tough competition to Chinese made Smart watches
