One of our reader reported that Apple engineers recently visited Swatch in Switzerland. Some might have thought it was related to internet timing invented by Swatch. Yves found additional information which could provide more details about a potential collaboration between both companies.
On the French-speaking Swiss TV channel Télévision Suisse Romande, when commenting Swatch financial results, N. Hayek was suggesting adding computer-related contents in future watch models. So, is it the first sign of an Pod-Swatch, providing music and more... able to connect to a remote server via wireless function (to be defined)?More information fromhttp://www.tsr.ch/tsr
If one consider the size of the printed circuit in an iPod Shuffle, it would not be a huge design problem to make it moving into a watch; and the Groupe Swatch might be the best partner for such project as it offers entry level as well as luxurious models in its catalog. Another option could be linked the car market, as Apple seems interested, and Swatch has been involved with Mercedes in developing the Smart.
