Swiss luxury watch manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen is announcing the launch of a new device: IWC Connect. This intelligent tool, which will be embedded in the straps of mechanical timepieces from IWC, is designed to give wearers control over certain devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and provide fully fledged activity tracking. The idea behind this new innovation is to enable owners of IWC timepieces to control their connected environment directly from the wrist while also maintaining the integrity of a handcrafted mechanical timepiece.

Engineered to be integrated into the straps of IWC sports watches, beginning with the Big Pilot’s Watches, the IWC Connect answers the needs of discerning customers by providing a high-quality luxury design solution: it not only tracks the wearer’s activities, but also allows them to interact with connected devices in their environment (IoT).

Ciekawostką jest to, że IWC twierdzi iż to odpowiedź na wszelkie FitBity, Jawbone’y i tym podobne urządzenia, noszone często na drugiej ręce. A jakoś producenci tradycyjnych zegarków zabrali się za ten temat dopiero przy temacie Apple Watcha…

Niezależnie, ciekawy jestem co z tego wyjdzie, bo nie ukrywam, że piękny mechaniczny zegarek to małe dzieło sztuki – to ich przeogromna przewaga nad produktem Apple.
