Collaborations with prominent names like Jacquie Aiche, James Brand, Raised by Wolves, Fortnite, and The New Yorker resonate strongly with India’s style-forward audience, while the Giorgio Galli S2Ti collection underscored the brand’s watchmaking leadership. Throughout the year, TGIL also accelerated growth by expanding its online and offline retail footprint, deeper penetration in quick commerce, and high-impact marketing initiatives, including the IPL association, India Beach Fashion Week partnership, and the Elle fashion gala collaboration. These efforts helped drive strong traction across core and luxury segments, further amplifying the brand’s aspirational positioning.
Looking ahead, Timex Group India remains committed to driving innovation, deepening market reach, further enhancing consumer shopping experience, and strengthening its premium positioning in India’s evolving watch market.
