Swiss watch company out to recapture past fame

Participants in cheerful mood prior to the start of the Titoni Masters.

SWISS watch brands have had a long association with Malaysia, with some of them having a presence here even before World War II.

One such brand is Titoni. The Swiss watchmaker has had a presence in the region since the 1930s. Today, the Swiss company, which is unusual for still being fully family owned, is looking to recapture some of its prominence in Asia.
