# Pocket Smartwatch Concepts Bucardo Takes a Vintage Approach to the Modern Smartwatch By Gurveer Brah | Published 2015-08-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-smartwatch References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2015/8/bucardo-introduces-the-apple-watch-pendulum-collection) & [bucardostyle](http://www.bucardostyle.com/) Bucardo's latest line of pocket smartwatches and pendants takes the modern functionality of a smartwatch and combines it with a classic aesthetic quality. A brand inspired by Ibex -- an animal that was once extinct and revived using genetic cloning -- Bucardo uses the Apple Watch to revive designs from vintage eras and pieces from the past. The brand's 'Pendulum Collection' takes the 42 mm Apple Watch and turns it into a pocket watch that comes in two different styles. It also takes the 38 mm Apple Watch and turns it into a line of pendants that can be worn on a necklace. Each piece comes in either gold or silver-plating with a hinge that covers watch faces for added protection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pocket Smartwatches:** Reviving vintage designs and combining them with modern smartwatch functionality. - **Classic Aesthetic Quality:** Bringing a timeless and elegant look to the world of smartwatches. - **Reviving Past Designs:** Breathing new life into vintage eras and reimagining them for modern technology. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Exploring opportunities to merge fashion with tech by creating stylish smartwatches and pendants. - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating classic aesthetic elements into modern smartwatches and expanding the market for wearable technology. - **Jewelry:** Integrating smart technology into wearable accessories like necklaces and pendants, creating a new category of smart jewelry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Next-Gen Pocket Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arsham-droplet.md) - [Pocket Watch-Inspired Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pocket-watch.md) - [Smartwatch-Turned Nostalgic Handheld](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinypod.md) - [Retro-Futurism Smartwatch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justwatch.md) - [Rad Retro-Style Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuture-wrist-tech.md) - [Pocketwatch-Inspired Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seiko-presage-craftsmanship-series-porter.md) - [Pocketable Handheld Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch1.md) - [Descriptive Wearable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-time-2.md) - [Handheld Smartwatch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elrow-industries-miniphone.md)
