Sensorstream claims the entire Swiss watch industry is vulnerable to significant declines based on the Apple Watch release. Leading smart watch design company Sensorstream claims that the entire Swiss watch industry is vulnerable to decline based on the Apple Watch release. "The Apple Watch release, particularly the high-end watch cases made from 18K gold, will have a significant and lasting impact on the entire Swiss watch industry," commented Sensorstream founder Tom Rapko. "For several years we have predicted the end game for smart watches is going to be the fusion of Swiss watch quality and the core functionality of a smartphone. It appears Apple is already well on their way to making this happen," Tom continued. Sensorstream recently was awarded the design patent for a circular smart watch case from the USPTO and is betting the future of the industry will tack towards modularity, with a focus on "upcycling" newer and newer electronics into existing watch cases. "The die has been cast, and these venerable Swiss watch companies should remember well how they dismissed the quartz crystal revolution in the 1970s; the smart watch revolution will eclipse even the impact of the quartz crystal," Tom added. Sensorstream and Pi are registered trademarks. The Sensorstream Pi smart watch case has been awarded a 14-year US Patent. Sensorstream is a start-up company based in California focused on disruptive wearable technology. All images and content Copyright Sensorstream 2010-2014.
