Titan and HP make smartwatches for India, global markets
Country's largest watchmaker Titan will launch by December a smartwatch jointly designed and built with global computing major HP Inc for India and select international markets.
Titan joins a global list of traditional watch makers such as Tag Heuer that are venturing into smartwatches, dominated by computer and mobile devices firms such as Apple, Motorola, Sony and Samsung. The Swiss-Tag Heuer has tied-up with Google and Intel to design its 'Tag Heuer Connected' that is priced at $ 1500 to take on Apple Watch. 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 said in a statement. HP separately has Michael Bastian Chronowing engineered smartwatches it sells in the US for $350. "This category of smart watches is going to change the way people view the art of timekeeping and beyond. It was but natural for an innovative company like Titan to partner with HP Inc. for the next step in our journey as a lifestyle company," said S Ravi Kant, chief executive, Watches and Accessories Division, Titan Company Ltd in the statement. "It is indeed a milestone for two of the world's leading companies to come together and create a unique lifestyle offering for people not only in India, but across the world." Tata Group's technology team has been working with Titan for over a year to build a wearable - smart watches and smart bands and testing it with factory floor workers. The focus of Tatas was to improve worker safety, but also get insights to build a product that is more tuned to market requirements. "It goes with the Tata philosophy for safety on our shopfloor and interest in our workers safety. But it also gives me an unique angle of developing a wearable which will be much more than any wearable in the market commercially. Because the need in the factory floor is much more than any need anybody has," Tata Group chief technology officer Gopichand Katragadda had told Business Standard in an interview in July. "Once i do that, i can bring it into the commercial world and productize which will be more featured than any existing wearable." HP Inc says that some smart accessories on the market force consumers to sacrifice form for function and the products jointly with Titan would be different. . "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," said Sridhar Solur - General Manager, Wearables and Smart Platforms at HP Inc in the statement.
