Even Tag Heuer launches in the luxury smartwatch market with a model called Connected that caters to a high clientele that provides for a price of 1350 euro. Supports Android Wear operating system and, as demonstrated at the presentation in New York underlined by CEO Jean-Claude Biver, "No one realizes that it is a technology watch, I wore it for three weeks and I have experienced it on the field" . With a diameter of 46 millimeters and a bright screen, it is also resistant to scratches (much more than gold and steel) over which water (as from IP67) thanks to the housing in Titanium grade 2.

The best smart watch is available with a black rubber strap that can also be replaced by shades of blue, red, green, orange and white as well as yellow is perhaps the most effect. The data-sheet is complete thanks to an Intel Atom Z34XX processor with 4GB of internal memory, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and sapphire crystal.

The Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer will take advantage of his savoir-faire to introduce its first ever clock connected by the end of 2015. On the smartwatch industry is growing exponentially and, at the time of this writing, it is mainly occupied by most technology companies famous. Sony, Samsung and even Apple have developed and launched their respective clocks connected. Classic watches, increasingly in vogue since the arrival of smartwatch, will disappear sooner or later? Perhaps as it regards the sector of medium-low clocks, but not safe for the large luxury industry, as it can be Tag Heuer. Despite this consideration, the Swiss manufacturer does not remain indifferent to technology.

Traditional watchmakers have not said the last word. After various rumors, the Swiss company Tag Heuer held a press conference during the Baselworld last Thursday, March 19th. He has just announced the upcoming introduction of its first connected watch. At the time we have been disclosed little information. In terms of design, Tag Heuer will bet on a sure value with the Carrera model.

Created fifty years ago, this watch, sold at a starting price of 3,600 Euros, is one of the pillars of the brand. At the component level, we have a single information: Tag Heuer has allied with Intel that will provide the processor. In addition, this bluetooth smart watch will be equipped with a touchscreen display and work with Android Wear.

Because a clock can be defined as "Swiss Made", must the 60% of the value of its components come from Switzerland country. If clock connected Tag Heuer, although the latter will be manufactured 80% in Switzerland, the part "smart" will be original Silicon Valley. However, high levels of brand announced that the talks will be implemented by the Federation of the Swiss watchmakers to the title is the same attributed to the clocks connected buildings in the country.

According to the general director of Tag Heuer, Jean-Claude Biver, the offline clock will enjoy the experience of the brand, and will present exclusive elements, but does not name them. This new watch Tag Heuer signed 2.0 expected to be launched in autumn 2015. Its price is quite a positive surprise compared to the rates of classic watches of the brand. The CEO has indeed evoked a price around $ 1000. The fact that a Swiss watch company will launch in the world of watches connected suggests that the traditional sector might open up to smartwatch and therefore not to leave this type of products only in hands of hi-tech enterprises.
