…for an entire new range of the daintiest, sportiest and absolutely macho watches and chronographs that have also been designed to tell time.
 

Blast from the past

 Ancient Indian architecture and mythology blended with ‘time-telling’ technology makes for an interesting combination. Titan tried it out through its heritage collection. The recently launched Stambha, inspired by Indian temple architecture serves as a beautiful adornment to a dainty wrist as it recreates the stony textures of the cosmic pillars. For men, Titan has designed Ajanta, inspired by the painted narratives of the Jataka tales which cover the walls and pillars of the Ajanta and Ellora caves. The mural art seen on the watch dial is inspired from a cave painting that epitomises Buddha’s serenity. While Stambha is available in yellow and rose gold versions, Ajanta has been designed in yellow metal version only and is available at select World of Titan showrooms across the country.
Stambha (Rs 7,500), Ajanta (Rs 5,500)
