2014 played witness to an absolute explosion of technological wearables. Showing no sign of slowing down, the brand new year is poised for yet another boom of impressive entries into the marketplace. While numerous tech giants and sportswear groups rushed their inventions to the public, luxury brands played coy and watched from the sidelines – until now that is. Montblanc formally enters the race with the launch of Timewalker Urban Speed e-Strap.
The “smart” strap works in conjunction with existing analog watches placing users in the drivers seat regarding the style element. The Timewalker syncs with both Android and iOS platforms allowing users to receive email notifications, read text messages, smartphone control, and play music amongst others. Separating itself from like competitors, is the “Find Me” function – announcing its location within a 30-meter radius.
