Discreetly Connected Timepieces

The William L. 1985 Timepieces Balance Analog and Digital Features

— March 8, 2018 — Fashion
It could be argued by some that one of the biggest issues with smartwatches is that they look like smartwatches, so the William L. 1985 timepieces have been created to change this.

Looking like luxury timepieces with automatic movement, the watches are packed with Japanese technology with a French design to ensure they're stylish yet inherently functional. The timepieces will track your activity, send notifications directly to your wrist from your smartphone and even act as a remote shutter when you're snapping photos.

The William L. 1985 timepieces come in several different design options to choose from and acknowledge the shift in the market towards discreetly connected solutions. As consumers warm up to the idea of constant connectivity, the timepieces help to make the shock of switching from an analog to a digital solution easier to handle.
Trend Themes
1. Discreetly Connected Timepieces - Smartwatches that resemble luxury timepieces, offering stylish yet functional features.
2. Japanese Technology on Luxury Watches - Luxury timepieces with automatic movement and advanced Japanese technology.
3. Shift Towards Discreetly Connected Solutions - Acknowledgment of the market's preference for discreetly connected timepieces.
Industry Implications

2. Smartwatch Industry - Opportunity for smartwatch manufacturers to enhance their designs to resemble luxury timepieces, attracting customers who value both style and functionality.
