German luxury watch retailer Aigner Watches has entered India through an exclusive partnership with Tata-owned accessories retailer Titan Company Ltd., the companies said in a joint press release on Friday.
The initial launch of the Swiss-made brand will be in 50 selected stores across top metro cities.
“It brings me immense joy to announce the launch of Aigner Watches in India, marking a significant milestone in our global journey,” said Tony Harris, sales director of Jacques du Manoir AG.
“Our partnership with Titan Company, the market leaders for watches in India with the immense width of distribution and retailing across various formats gives us a fantastic platform to reach out to the large and fast-growing market of discerning customers,” he added.
The launch event took place at Gallops Mumbai in presence of the Indian actor, and director Randeep Hooda. Aigner will offer its collections including Trapani and Fermo collections for men and Massa Due and Matera Diamond for women, in India.
“The premium watch market in India is on a high growth trajectory, where a growing number of consumers are seeking high fashion, accessible luxury,” said Rahul Shukla, vice president, watches division at Titan Company. “Titan’s portfolio of international brands addresses multiple customer segments and price points and Aigner now allows us to offer accessible luxury to all.”
Luxury fashion accessories brand Aigner was established in 1965 by Etienne Aigner in Munich and the company started global retailing in 1973.
Titan Company boasts a portfolio of international brands, catering to a range of customer segments and price points through its distribution network, which spans over 10,000 doors in more than 2000 towns. The company also owns and operates 16 brands across jewelry, eyewear, watches, and wearables, with over 2,000 retail stores.
The iconic Swiss-made German watch brand Aigner was launched yesterday by Titan. Founder Etienne Aigner’s passion for leather since a very young age, designing handbags for Paris Couture Houses in the 1930s, launching the famous horseshoe monogram in New York in 1950 and eventually setting up the company in Munich in 1965, the international fashion powerhouse Aigner’s legacy is built around the equestrian world. And there couldn’t have been a better location than the Mahalakhsmi Race Course in Mumbai to launch the brand in the presence of Aigner’s Sales Director Tony Harris, Titan Watch CSMO Rahul Shukla and friend of the brand, actor, director, producer and equestrian @randeephooda.
AIGNER is an international German leather lifestyle brand with a success story of over 50 years. We are conscious of tradition but never stand still, combining high quality with modern design. This is where our success lies. We are united by a passion for unique craftsmanship and perfection down to the last detail – we build on the personality, ideas and creativity of our employees.
