The Infinity Watch from Swatch, designed by Pierre Merlet, has a built-in mp3 player, videoplayer, recorder and a photo album all wrapped into a funky looking watch! The overall appearance makes the watch look more like a bangle or bracelet from the future... And by future, I mean a connected future where people communicate through their jewelry. It's interesting to see this sort of technology convergence with fashion, and think about the gadgets of the future.
