Why is iconic Swiss Army knife brand Victorinox, which holds virtual monopoly of the pocket tool market, pushing its watch category so much? Especially in the crowded Indian timepiece market where the affordable luxury watch category is a barely Rs 1,500-crore market?

“Our diversification is closely linked to the 9/11 attack, after which the pocket tool was banned from all airports. Thirty per cent of our turnover came from duty-free showrooms. That stimulated an accelerated diversification strategy,” replies Mr Alexander M. Bennouna, Chief Executive Officer (Timepieces), Victorinox.

It’s been ten years since the Swiss brand diversified into watches, but it’s taken time to get its positioning right – earlier it entered the mass market category. But now it’s graduated to the affordable luxury segment, and finding that it’s a better fit with its core Swiss Army Knife proposition.

“We were a volume driver in the past. But now, from one million (watch) units exported a few years ago, we have reduced to half-a-million units. Yet, the turnover has more than multiplied,” says Mr Bennouna, describing how they consciously moved up the value chain. Victorinox watches are available for prices ranging between $300 and $2,000.

PRICE DIFFERENCE

Given the price difference between foreign watches sold in India and places such as Dubai, due to steep duties, why would the Indian customer buy a Victorinox locally? Mr Bennouna admits there is a 20 per cent difference, but he says service is the factor which will drive local sales.

And, India, of course, being a growing market it cannot ignore. In 2005, 85 per cent of Victorinox’s turnover in watches came from Northern America. Today 45 per cent comes from Asia. “This is where the world growth is and we have significantly developed marketing activities in this zone,” says Mr Bennouna.

EXPANSION

In the last ten years, Mr Bennouna says, Victorinox has rapidly expanded into other categories – “Watch was natural because the Swiss timepiece is known to have all the values that echo quality. Three years later came luggage, then apparel, then fragrance.”

But it’s the watch category Mr Bennouna is pushing in India through sustainable initiatives like Time To Care.

“We are not a watch brand but a Swiss brand making watches,” says Mr Bennouna, explaining that they will be playing up their Swiss values, though he admits there are at least ten competitors in the segment.

BRAND AMBASSADORS

And why no brand ambassadors? Rolex has its Roger Federer, Richard Miller has Rafeael Nadal and Felipe Massa, Longines has Aishwarya Rai, Tissot has Deepika Padukone.

“We use the values of Swiss army knife as key spokesperson,” retorts Mr Bennouna. Our brand ambassador is this iconic device. It has such quality and functionality that it even speaks for Switzerland. ”

LCC When a country restricts its population’s freedoms on the internet, and you want to do something about it, point out to the heads of state how much money their nation is potentially losing as a result of the web clampdown – that’s the advice from a top UK Foreign Office bod.

John Duncan, who is the Foreign Secretary’s Special Representative at the London Conference on Cyberspace (LCC), said freedom of information on the internet would be just one of the debates between countries and businesses at the get-together, which will take place in two weeks.

“In simple terms, if one is looking at a country that is trying to be more autocratic and shut the internet down, the simple response to them is ‘what about your industry?’” he said.

“If your industry is actually using the internet to promote economic growth, what’s going to be the impact economically if you start going down this path? It’s a much more powerful argument than saying you shouldn’t do it because it’s wrong.

“You shouldn’t do it because it’s not in your interest to do it actually gets people to listen a bit quicker. That’s still a valid argument, that it’s wrong, but if you want people to come to the centre ground then you have to try to find other arguments,” he added.

Telling it like it is might not always seem like the best idea, but it’s what the UK reckons is needed to get countries, businesses, individuals and NGOs to start coming to a consensus on cyberspace.

The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, said he organised the conference to try to get all these people together to work out how to maintain the economic and social benefits of the internet, as well as how to guard against criminal and security threats online.

“More international consensus is urgently needed. And this needs to be a collective endeavour, involving the major actors in cyberspace,” he said in an op-ed piece on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website on Tuesday.

“This is one of the great challenges of our time. Nobody controls the internet, and we can’t leave its future to chance. We have the opportunity to secure a bold and innovative future but we also face the risk that the internet is used as a force for harm.”

The conference hopes to have debates on the digital divide and cyber-security, as well as more contentious issues such as internet freedoms.

It is hoped that some of the discussions could lead to agreement, or even actual accords, although there’s no sign that the UK is feeling ready to sign anything binding just yet.

Back in February, when Hague first began to talk about the conference in a speech in Munich, the talk was all about “standards” and “norms” rather than treaties.

“We believe there is a need for a more comprehensive, structured dialogue to begin to build consensus among like-minded countries and to lay the basis for agreement on a set of standards on how countries should act in cyberspace,” he said at the time.

And when politicians throw words like “begin to build” and “basis” around, you know they usually mean, “let’s start to talk about it, but let’s not be too hasty”.

The event will be held on 1 and 2 November, watch out for The Register’s foray into live-tweeting from the conference floor by following @regvulture. ?

The Swiss watch market in India is growing at around 25 per cent a year – to Rs 365 crore this year (January-August imports) from Rs 297 crore in the same period last year.

So Titan’s multi-crore ad blitz featuring film director and actor Farhan Akhtar for its premium Swiss brand, Xylys, is hardly a surprise.
Sensing a great opportunity in the women’s segment, Xylys is also planning to introduce a women’s line. In the pipeline is a fusion of sporty dress watches using ceramics for both men and women.

The Swiss watches are categorised into three segments: premium, affordable luxury and exclusive luxury, and Xylys, with its collection of 75-80 models, plays in the premium band of Swiss watches.

“Xylys sells in the premium range of Rs 10,000 – Rs 25,000,” says Harish Bhat, COO, Titan Industries. The watch has got Swiss movements, uses sapphire crystal glass, surgical stainless steel and highly precision engineering, he adds.

After its launch in 2006, Titan Xylys now holds the second position with 20 per cent market share in its category. For the record, though, it’s two and a half times behind market leader Tissot.

Xylys has been created in collaboration with renowned Swiss designer Laurent Rufenacht and Titan’s very own design advisor Michael Foley. It is manufactured in a state-of-the-art factory in Switzerland, which has a heritage of 80 years in the art of watch making.

“You will fall in love with the watch at first sight. The buyer is generally aged 28-plus and wants to define himself with Xylys and thinks that style speaks better than words,” says Suparna Mitra, Global Marketing Head, Titan.

Formerly, actor Rahul Bose, international supermodel Saira Mohan and tennis star Carlos Moya were the faces of Xylys. Why Farhan Akhtar this year? Mitra says Titan chose Farhan for his “aesthetic values, cutting edge skills and easy going persona”.

The classic, contemporary and sports collection offer more than 75 models and the highly precision engineered watch offers metal and leather options for its strap.

“Titan brings the trust factor among consumers and the design makes Xylys stand out,” says Mitra.

Titan recently appointed global advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy for making ads for Xylys.

Xylys is targeting to sell around Rs 24 crore of worth of watches, i.e. around 18,000-19,000 pieces in this financial year (FY 2011-12) Mitra says the finesse with which Xylys is made, “makes it the ultimate fashion accessory for formal wear”. The watch is painstakingly crafted with carefully selected materials.
