Montblanc e strap

Was surfing and came along this

http://www.ablogtowatch.com/montblan...ed-collection/

It seems like some brands are trying to find a competitive solution for the Apple watch

Not that I ever am going to get one

I bought a Note 3 to have a bigger screen and now I should see and read all on a watch ?

But that's just me ;)

Interesting concept of the clasp as multi-functional display and link to smartphone.
But my clasps need something more bulletproof than an OLED display.

Here is my accessory for your video viewing on it...




enjoy Season 5 of Downton Abby while eating dinner!

I think it is a clever idea but I'd never ever buy something like that.

Yeah, and evidently they think it's worth the risk and it's a chance to wet their beak.

But you still don't see any of the more respected brands doing it, at least not yet anyway. When Patek, AP. and Rolex do it then you know the idea stuck.


Personally I have no interest in the whole smart watch thing yet.

The watch is OK looking, but that's a stupid place to put the LCD display.

I see Montblanc as a "design" company rather than a "watch" company such as Rolex, AP, Panerai, etc.

I concur with Dan on this one. I have no interest in smart watches, either.
