This Horological Smartwatch Blends Classic Style and Connectivity

— March 28, 2015 — Fashion
Launched at this year's Baselworld is the Horological Smartwatch from Frédérique Constant and Alpina, which presents an unusual take on connectivity. There are many companies producing their own versions of touchscreen watches, but understandably, many consumers don't see why they should downgrade to a smaller mobile screen that they can wear. Rather than boasting a sleek touchscreen face that's digital, this Horological Smartwatch retains the look of a classic timepiece, with all of the connectivity to an app.

Despite the traditional look of the Horological Smartwatch, the iOS and Android connectivity comes from hidden MotionX technology that provides real-time alerts, coaching, sleep cycle monitoring and alarms. With a battery that lasts over two years, there's no need to worry about recharging to stay constantly connected.
Trend Themes
1. Horological Smartwatches - The integration of classic style and connectivity in smartwatches presents an opportunity for disruption in the wearables market.

3. Long-lasting Battery Life - The development of smartwatches with batteries that can last over two years opens up possibilities for innovative advancements in IoT devices and energy-efficient technologies.
