INTRODUCTION
During the past, we used to know time through sun with the help of
Shadow and therefore we can say that “Man’s first time piece was sun”.
Using this logic the “Egyptians’” invented the “SHADOW CLOCK” or
“SUN DIAL”. This consists of rod placed upright on the ground. As the
sun moved across the sky, it caused the shadow of the rod to change
length and position throughout the day. The moving shadow passed
over the scale marked on the ground.
Different types of sundials were invented
later on, but they were of on use because we could not know the time
at night time and the days where there is no sun. To overcome this
problem “Egyptian’s” invented a “WATCH CLOCK”. It consisted a pot
full of water with a small whole at bottom. So the water leaks slowly
and marks on the pot, which slowed the level reached by the falling
water at different times of the day and nights. Later people got the idea
of filling the bowl rather than emptying it. A bowl with a hole at the
bottom was place on water surface. The water slowly comes into bowl
after a calculated period will sink.
Consumer has been elated with the kind of reception they are getting
from various companies these days. The reason behind a drastic
change in consumer behaviour is because the consumer is no more
treated as a hire purchaser but, he is treated as the decider of the

COMPANY PROFILE
Timex had entered the Indian market through a joint venture with
Titan and which was their offering for the youth market. When that JV
broke off in 1997 and Timex went independent, there was a gap in
Titan’s portfolio and it only made sense to fill that need through their
offering. fastrack was launched as a range of watch ware under Titan
and was called Titan fastrack. Subsequently, it grew from a range to a
sub-brand, where Titan was upfront in the logo and the association
was strong.
They used the jazzy version of the Mozart tune, which is Titan’s
signature tune. So, the link with Titan was very strong. When they
launched, they targeted predominantly the early jobber 23-30 year-old
male executive. It was only a year or two later that they launched a line
for women.
They took off and did well in the start but started stagnating in 2001-
2003, and that’s when they went for a reality check. Titan had
simultaneously launched the steel collection, which was an attempt to
contemporize for a Titan audience. But what was happening was the
collection in terms of looks, price point and consumer buying
behaviour was very similar to fastrack, including advertising. The
parent brand needed to continue in its endeavour to keep it
contemporary and hence repositioned fastrack to younger audience in
sub-25 range
fastrack was launched as a range of watch ware under Titan and was
called Titan fastrack. Subsequently, it grew from a range to a sub-
brand, where Titan was upfront in the logo and the association was
strong. They used the jazzy version of the Mozart tune, which is Titan’s
signature tune. So, the link with Titan was very strong. Awareness of
fastrack was very low and was linked to Titan. There was no
independent identity. fastrack needed to break away and hence
changed the logo to bring in a youthful, spontaneous, energetic and fun
identity and also removed Titan from the upfront association in the
logo. They however, kept it at the bottom, saying it’s a Titan product.
This helped carry the assurance of the trusted Titan brand. They also
stopped using the Mozart tune in advertising. fastrack was launched
with new products, a new identity, new advertising and a new logo in
June 2005.
When re-launch was started, fastrack brand was worth
about Rs 29crores but however they have grown almost ten times of
that over the last three years. fastrack has a presence in over 6000
outlets across 800 towns, with new exclusive brand kiosks in Metro
Malls and its multi-channel distribution network which covers the 228
strong World of Titan Network, 122 Large Format Chain stores viz.
Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Central, Westside, Pantaloons and Multi-
brand watch & optical outlets. fastrack is actually among the few
brands where people come asking for the brand
