According to him, the alliance signifies Titan's three-decade long expertise in watchmaking.
Nearly all large-scale watchmaking for the US market is done outside America in countries such as Switzerland, China, Japan, the Philippines and India.
"Through this alliance, FTS sees an opportunity to make more classic watches and movements. The new facility will lead to higher quality, fewer shipment delays and a better connect with the US customers," Titan added.
