Titan Watches, a Tata Group brand, has launched a limited-edition watch called the “Unity Watch” to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The watch was designed in collaboration with Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, who became the first Indian to venture into space in 1984. The Unity Watch is inspired by Sharma’s achievement and features a celestial dial with an image of India. The watch is limited to 300 pieces and was launched at an event in Bengaluru.
Titan Watches’ vice president, Rahul Shukla, said that the watch embodies the innovation and artistry of “Make in India” and celebrates space, science, and India’s remarkable legacy. Wing Commander Sharma said that the watch is a reminder to rework societal models that prioritize confrontation over cooperation to protect the planet for future generations.
The launch event also featured discussions on the links between space exploration and watchmaking, as well as a showcase of Titan’s design process. The Unity Watch is a celebration of India’s ability to reach for the stars and a reminder to measure progress in terms of the peace dividend achieved.
