Honestly I don't know.
Some claim that connected watches will be an earthquake for the full industry, 10,000 times bigger than quartz. And some like me don't see the impact yet. Who is right, who is wrong? Only time will tell. At least, I find the Moser strategy daring.
But at the end of the day, who can compete against the top companies like Apple of Samsung when you are a dwarf... even SG is a dwarf when compared to them. So is the right strategy to play on the same field? Again, I don't know.
Last comment: the success will come not with the watch by itself but thanks to its contents. And who can seriously compete against the zillions of developers who will work for iTunes or Android?

Now it begins: Haute Horlogerie Smartwatches from MOSER
Previously, Magnus (ornatus-mundi) reported about smart watches that scavenged Apple movements encased in ridiculously expensive cases. Yesterday, Moser announced haute horlogerie smartwatch launching at baselworld 2015. See the press release at our New C...
Sadly...
that days are approaching.... Not so surprising news but then there is nothing "smart" about smart watches Just my 2HRK Sincerely D
I'm curious to see what they come up with...
They've been pretty clever on the mechanical engineering, let's see what they unveil before passing too many judgments. I think we are in the midst of an evolutionary process. Some of the early attempts are going to flop, but some will succeed; innovation...
My apologies...I am very disturbed.....
Been of prehistoric parentage, I have the greatest difficulty understanding: "...extremely long battery life..." and the words "Haute Horlogerie" when found in the same sentence. Certainly, I need to get out from underneath my rock and modernise myself;) ...
Nico, you have highlighted a stark example...
Having eaten at Joel Robuchon ateliers across the world, one must believe that watch luxe can - and will - follow the dollar... Cheers, pplater.
Don't think
It will be anything impressive. Need companies like Apple that can design both SW and HW in order for smartwatches to work. With that said, smartwatches are still in their infancies, even Apple couldn't really do what they have originally planned for thei...

Inevitable
Right now watch is a accessory, nobody really needs one, it's a fashion statement/status symbol/mechanical wonder for the boy inside our heart. That's not what Apple watch is about, they are aiming to making it a necessity. They want it to replace your ke...
Any higher end smart watch which is not iOS compatible will be difficult to sell...
which even Google admits - they are preparing an iOS app which would make tethering an Android-driven smartwatch to an iPhone possible: Thus, I don't see any of the Swiss luxury makers like TAG Heuer, Montblanc or Moser be daring (or stupid) enough to de...
Very rare, indeed.
i wonder what this move does in terms of H Moser's brand perception? It is kind of contradictory to say "very rare" and then offer easily mass produced products.
