The new Titan Stellar 2.0 collection showcases exquisite craftsmanship

Leading Indian watch brand Titan Watches has just launched a new collection, one that brings a piece of the galaxy to your wrists.

Our world has been inexplicably drawn to the vastness of space for as long as one can remember – from the first space mission in 1957 to today as India prepares for Gaganyaan. The enduring fascination with space is apparent in almost every medium including high fashion, films and even everyday astrophotography and astrology- space remains one of the most exciting concepts to mankind. Continuing on a similar trajectory, Titan watches look to the moon and the stars for inspiration, launching another scintillating collection. This one takes wearers closer to outer space than ever before, drawing influences from the vastness of space- from the metallic in-frames to the tinted exoskeleton and intricate design. With this collection made for Astro enthusiasts who are drawn to detail, Titan bids to bring a tangible part of the cosmos to your wrist

The Titan Celestor: A runner’s dream come true

What makes Stellar 2.0 truly special is its unique craftsmanship- imbuing the details of celestial wonders intrinsically into each timepiece. Alongside multifunction movements, the Titan Stellar is also equipped with an interesting moon-phase complication which is added onto the movement, reflecting the actual phases of the moon. In other words, the moon on the dial shifts in real time along with the hands of the watch! What makes this possible is the ingenious design model of the watch that integrates timekeeping with a visual depiction of the synchronised movement of the moon phases. Not only that, but the lume on the moon disc also carries craters designed after the actual ones on the moon. The mechanical workings and intricate detailing of the timepiece bring the wearer as close to the celestial bodies as possible, quite literally mirroring the waxing and waning cycles of the moon.

The details are further enhanced by the intricate Sun-Moon indicators, designed not just for function but also to enchant the wearer like the moon-phase indicator. The Sun-Moon displays recreate the magical interplay between day and night where the dial becomes a canvas for celestial movements, capturing the shifting rhythms of the universe in a way that is as poetic as it is precise.

At the heart of this collection lies Titan’s exclusive in-house automatic movements—open-heart designs, and multi-functions, along with the aforementioned – stunningly intricate sun-moon and moon-phase complications. These movements go beyond just simple mechanics, transforming the timepiece from a mere wristwatch to an artisanal work of design. The open-heart design, for instance, offers a glimpse into the watch’s beating heart, revealing the finely tuned Titan machinery that powers its graceful movements. The multifunction movements are one of the most complex and complicated movements and have been developed in-house – a showcase of Titan’s horological excellence.

While the machinery is impeccable, what also sets these watches apart, is their exquisite use of rare earth materials and borrowed pieces of the galaxy. The remarkable selection of natural wonders includes Kambaba Jasper, Aventurine, Tiger Eye, and the ancient Muonionalusta meteorite—each carefully chosen for its beauty and rarity. The Muonionalusta meteorite, for example – adds a real element of the cosmos to the timepieces, while the exquisite Tiger Eye and Aventurine bring a rich allure reflecting the hues of the celestial bodies.

“Explore the Unexplored,” is the tagline of the collection which does exactly that through intricate horology and the use of innovative materials. The collection features 13 exquisite timepieces focused on three central elements – movements, materials, and functionality. At the pinnacle of the Titan Stellar 2.0 collection are the three limited edition masterpieces specially curated for watch collectors to add a piece of the galaxy to their watch collection. In tandem with the cosmic design of the collection, all three timepieces boast expert attention to detail and design. The Titan Astra Meteorite Automatic especially, the crown jewel among the three, incorporates a dial made from a 120,000-year-old Muonionalusta meteorite and features unique Widmanstätten patterns on the dial – a true physical manifestation of the cosmos. Similarly, both the Titan Caelum Tiger Eye Automatic and the Titan Caelum Multifunction Automatic have been created with premium materials and boast intricate detail and in-house movements, making them prized collectables. As the newest trailblazer in the Indian watch segment, the galaxy-inspired collection stands for celestial beauty and detailed craftsmanship. This masterclass in fine horology is one that you should definitely not miss.
