Brand Heritage
Urban Design for a Younger Audience
Lotus is the Festina Group's urban, design-led brand: bold, contemporary watches aimed at young, style-aware clients who want to stand out.
Lotus is about personality — this is the watch you wear to be noticed.
Technology Without Losing the Watch
Lotus offers three levels of tech: the Connected D hybrid (real hands, smart functions, up to 10 days per charge), and SmarTime 2nd GEN full smartwatches with calls, sleep analysis and GPS on selected models.
Whatever level of tech the client wants — a hint or the full smartwatch — Lotus has it under one brand.
Basketball and Street Culture
Lotus is the official watch of the Spanish Basketball Federation and an official sponsor of the All-Star Game France, tying the brand to sport, energy and street style.
This is a brand fans see courtside — great for clients who follow basketball.
A Jewellery House Too
The Lotus name also covers two jewellery lines: Lotus Style in stainless steel and Lotus Silver in sterling silver, which makes watch-plus-jewellery sets easy.
Complete the look — and the sale — with a matching Lotus bracelet.

Objection Handling
Is Lotus a serious watch brand?
Lotus belongs to the Festina Group, one of Europe's major watch groups, and is backed by the group's after-sales service. It focuses on design and technology for a younger audience.
- Part of the Festina Group
- Group after-sales service
- Range from quartz to automatic and smartwatches
Why not an Apple or Samsung watch?
If the client wants a watch first and tech second, Connected D keeps real hands and lasts up to 10 days per charge. If they want a full smartwatch, SmarTime 2nd GEN covers it at a different price point.
- Hybrid option with a real dial
- Longer battery life than most smartwatches
- Full smartwatch option too
Will it look dated quickly?
Collections like Old Money and 2Gether are designed around timeless, classic lines rather than short-lived trends.
- Timeless collections available
- Stainless steel construction
- Versatile day-to-night styling
