The idea
Proposed concept

A Xylys 25th Hour lounge, inside the building at lunch. One small, designed space, built on the idea a watch brand owns: precision. People play, try one on, and buy in a single visit.

One connected flow, not a stall. Five beats on a single footprint.
The experience

Five beats: pull a crowd, capture data, build interest, close the sale.

Each beat does one job, then hands the visitor to the next. One path, not five touchpoints.

01
Crowd engine

The Precision Challenge

Stop the chronograph at exactly 10.000 seconds. A light-bar reflex game with a live leaderboard that builds a queue through the lunch rush.

Its jobPulls people in from the lunch flow and sets the theme of precision.
02
Data gate

The Reveal

Score and reward unlock once the visitor shares name and phone on a tablet. Out comes a unique code. Everyone wins something small; the big discount stays rare.

Its jobCaptures a first-party record and issues the code we use to link back to sales.
03
Interest

The Try-On Bar

The host fastens a watch on, hands over a mirror, and lets it stay there. A strap bar to build the look, a loupe to read the Swiss movement up close.

Its jobAnswers the one question that decides a watch sale: how it looks and feels on you.
04
Keepsake

The 25th Hour Polaroid

Pick a word, Relentless, Audacious, Precise or Different. Take home a branded photo, plus a copy on WhatsApp. It is about them, so it gets shared and it stays on the desk.

Its jobLocks the email, earns organic reach, keeps the brand in view after the day.
05
The close

The Vault

A glass case holds the day's hero piece at its best price, unlocked only by finishing the flow. The Titan store team closes the sale on the spot, engraving included.

Its jobTurns interest into a purchase on the day, with a clear reason to act now.
See it in motion
Experience the watches
Research-backed

The watch goes on the wrist, and stays there.

People buy a watch once they have worn it. So the booth is built for wrist time, and for the small touches that turn a try-on into a sale.

  • Wrist time, on purpose. The watch goes on and stays on through the talk. The longer it is held, the more people will pay.
  • Build your look. Swap straps and set the watch yourself at the strap bar. People value what they help make.
  • See the Swiss movement. A loupe and a provenance card for the hero pieces and the meteorite dial. Swiss-made is the story Xylys owns.
  • Free same-day engraving. A name or date on the case back. Personal, and only here, today.
  • Feel the difference. Lift the titanium piece next to a steel one for weight, balance and finish. The hand decides more than the eye.
  • Wear it through your break. Keep it on, walk the floor, live with it before any talk of buying.

Two formats

Build it inside, or roll it in.

The same experience, two looks. A premium kit that builds inside, or a mobile stand that parks outside and opens in minutes. Both go up and down fast.

Option AThe in-building Lounge Kit

The Lounge Kit

A dark, premium lounge inside a food court or atrium. The look across this page.

LookDark and premium, three zones on one floor.
FootprintAbout four by four metres, indoors.
SetupFlat-packs into one tempo. Two to three crew, about three hours to build, one to strike.
Best forLarge indoor parks with a central food court.
Option BThe Mobile Stand parked at a tech park

The Mobile Stand

A compact Xylys vehicle that parks at the plaza and opens up. It turns heads and pulls its own crowd.

LookA branded van or trailer, sides open to a counter and the game.
FootprintThe vehicle plus a small apron, outdoors.
SetupRolls in fully built, opens in minutes, no per-venue build. Drives between buildings and cities.
Best forOpen plazas, multi-building campuses, smaller venues and fast city hops.
Two looks for the mobile stand
Mobile stand as a modern van
Mobile stand as a polished trailer

A clean modern van or a polished trailer, same brand colours. Both carry the game, the try-on counter, the photo moment and the offer.

Option A · transport and setup
The flat-packed booth loading into a single tempo truck
  • Flat panels and wheeled cases. Game wall, plinth, Vault and backdrop break into slot-together parts.
  • Numbered to one build map. Tool-free assembly, no specialist trade, no on-site fabrication.
  • Standard power, offline-tolerant tablets. Capture buffers locally, so weak park Wi-Fi never breaks the flow.
  • Only consumables restock. Film, merch, engraving blanks. The hardware redeploys untouched.

Where we would run it
Research-based estimates

The parks we would target, and the order to roll them out.

Reach reads two ways: the daily campus workforce, and the number passing a central food court at lunch. Sourced where measured, modelled where not. Basis below.

ParkMajor tenantsDaily workforceLunch reachFitPhase

Basis: Embassy REIT and DLF data, market reports and footfall analyses. Gurgaon's Cyber Hub is the one measured node, 1.5 to 2 lakh a day; other figures model 15 to 25 percent of the workforce at peak. Single-developer parks approve fastest, in 3 to 6 weeks, and an anchor-tenant co-brand can make a paid slot subsidised.

The offer
Research-backed, premium-safe

An offer worth acting on, without cutting the brand.

Value goes into add-ons and easy payment, not markdowns. On a premium watch, anything past about 20 percent off dents the brand and trains people to wait. So we lead on how it is paid and what comes with it.

Lead lever

No-cost EMI

A ₹30,000 watch reads as about ₹2,500 a month. Most festive premium buys in India run on no-cost EMI. The real unlock at this price.

Closes on the spot

Gift with purchase

A spare strap, a travel roll, or the Xylys watch stand with the watch. Adds value, keeps the price and the brand intact.

Closes on the spot

Free same-day engraving

A name or date on the case back. Personal, and a reason to buy here, not later.

Closes on the spot

Old-watch exchange

A fair, in-view valuation toward an upgrade. Titan has shown the trust in the exchange, not its size, is what converts.

Closes on the spot

Booth-only first access

A limited piece or first look, only at the booth. Real scarcity lifts same-day decisions and stays premium.

Closes on the spot

Event edge, kept shallow

A small event-only saving, 10 to 15 percent, as an amount off. Enough to tip a decision, not enough to cheapen the watch.

Spot or online

On the spot

The store team closes the sale at the booth, with billing ready.

  • EMI signed up on the tablet, so price is never the blocker.
  • Engraving and the gift handed over as the watch is bought.
  • Exchange valued in view for anyone trading up.
  • A real booth-only reason to decide today, not later.

Or online, traced back

For anyone not buying on the day, the offer follows them home.

  • One unique code per visitor, which redeems far better than a generic code and ties the sale to the person.
  • Scan to buy this watch, a QR that opens the exact model on the D2C site with the code already applied.
  • A real 48-hour window with an honest countdown. No fake timers.
  • Reserve at the stand, complete online for anyone who wants to think it over.

Hypothesis, not a guarantee

Capture and convert

Every footfall linked to a name, a code, and a sale.

We trade a few details for the keepsake and the offer, then follow up on WhatsApp, where India actually reads. That makes the pop-up accountable, and the audience useful after the kit packs up.

01 · Capture

First-party record

A short form at the data gate, traded for the keepsake and the offer.

02 · Code

Unique code

A one-time code per visitor, tagged by city and date, good in store or online.

03 · Attribute

Code and QR to revenue

Every order traces back to a park and a day, so footfall maps to sales.

04 · Convert

WhatsApp follow-up

A personal message brings back the watch they tried, with their offer.

What we ask for
Name Phone, WhatsApp Consent to contact Watch tried on Occasion: self or gift Budget band EMI interest Email, optional

Three details required, the rest an optional "find your watch" step. Consent is a separate, unticked opt-in, logged with date and source, per the DPDP Act. The watch tried and the occasion are what make the follow-up personal.

The follow-up that converts later
The gift

Classy, useful, and kept.

The gift should feel like Xylys and earn a place on a desk or a wrist, not a drawer. Every piece ties to the watch, and the visitor picks a word or colour to make it theirs.

Watch cloth in a sleeve

Free

A proper microfibre cloth in a branded sleeve. Useful from day one, in a drawer people open often.

The Precision pin

Free

A small enamel pin for a bag or a lanyard. Collectible, and a quiet marker of the day.

Spare strap, your colour

Earn it

A leather or NATO strap in a colour they pick. Changes the look, gets worn.

Strap-change tool kit

Earn it

A slim spring-bar tool to swap straps at home. Useful, and true to a brand built on precision.

The Xylys watch stand

Signature

A brushed-steel stand that cradles the watch at the desk or bedside. The kind of thing people keep for years.

One personal thread runs through it. Each visitor picks a word, Relentless, Audacious, Precise or Different, that carries across the engraving, the photo and the gift.

Xylys gifting set: watch stand, cloth, strap, tool and pin
Next step

Let us run the first 25th Hour.

We handle access, production and the floor. Titan brings stock, collaterals and the store team. The next step is one pilot site and a costed plan.
