Mumbai recently witnessed the unveiling of Titan’s highly anticipated Edge Ultraslim, a watch that redefines the boundaries of thinness and elegance. Since its debut in 2002, the Edge collection has championed ultra-thin design, and the new Ultraslim stands as the crown jewel, measuring a mere 3.3mm in thickness.
A seamless blend of Indian engineering and world-class design, the Edge Ultraslim embodies Titan’s philosophy of minimalism, material innovation, engineering mastery, and timeless aesthetics. In 2024, a limited-edition titanium variant of the Ultraslim marked Titan’s prestigious entry at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Awards—widely regarded as the ‘Oscars of watchmaking.’
This year, Titan is expanding the reach of the Ultraslim with two new stainless-steel variants, available in understated grey and monochromatic black, both maintaining the sleek 3.3mm profile. These timepieces are priced at Rs 74,995, offering refined luxury at an accessible price point.
While traditional fine watchmaking chases precision down to the 1/100th of a second, the Edge Ultraslim takes a unique approach. It features a single-hand floating disc that glides in ten-minute intervals, creating the illusion of continuous time. This design encourages wearers to reimagine time as a seamless flow rather than a series of discrete moments.
Beyond its slim case, the watch is powered by Titan’s Calibre Edge T9081—one of the world’s thinnest quartz movements at just 1.15mm thick. The movement is housed in a 40.5mm case crafted from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel with precision micro-blasting. The bead-blasted silver-white dial boasts a soft, architectural texture and is protected by a sapphire crystal featuring a six-layer anti-reflective coating.
The dual-finish case combines a circular satin bezel with a high-polish outer ring, complemented by concealed lugs and elegantly beveled corners. Completing the look is a supple, stitch-free Italian calf leather strap that enhances the overall sophistication.
Weighing only 30 grams and water-resistant up to 30 meters, the Edge Ultraslim is truly an engineering marvel.
Commenting on the launch, Kuruvilla Markose, CEO of Watches & Wearables at Titan, said, “Every fraction of a millimetre reflects years of disciplined innovation by our in-house teams, where design and engineering coexist in perfect harmony.”
The launch event was an experiential ode to time, inspired by the four elements—wind, water, earth, and sky. Guests journeyed through immersive displays of light, sound, and form, culminating in the unveiling of the Edge Ultraslim—a mindful experience designed for those who appreciate luxury in subtlety and view time as a companion.
