An Analog Dial and Calfskin Strap... Suitable for Formal Occasions
This Horological Smartwatch is equipped with the MotionX sensor, capable of recording daily activity and sleep patterns. This technology is widely used in fitness watches released by globally renowned sports brands and in GPS applications for smartphones.
By linking this smartwatch with an iPhone or Android smartphone running the dedicated app, activity and sleep data can be clearly displayed on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Smartwatches, a type of wearable computer device, often feature touch panel interfaces, making many of them look more like gadgets than luxury brand timepieces. However, this Horological Smartwatch, with its analog dial and calfskin strap, can be worn in formal settings, complementing a suit.
This is said to be the world's first Swiss-made Horological Smartwatch, set to launch between late June and July for approximately 170,000 yen (excluding tax).
