MyKronoz Introduces ZeTime
Ahead of Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) 2017, Swiss wearable brand MyKronoz
today announced ZeTime, the world's first hybrid smartwatch combining
mechanical hands over a full round color touchscreen. Using
groundbreaking technology to enable a hole to be cut in the center of a
round TFT color display allowing watch hands to pass through, ZeTime
blends the classic design of a traditional timepiece with the most
advanced features of a smartwatch.

Designed to be worn all day, every day, ZeTime allows users to see the
time even when the smartwatch screen is powered off, thanks to 'Smart
Movement' technology that enables the mechanical hands to function for
up to 30 days with a single charge.
"When I started in early 2013, people thought that I was mad - why would
I start a smartwatch company in Switzerland and enter such a challenging
market? It turns out that my vision and passion have paid off as our
company has sold nearly two million smartwatches since then," said Boris
Brault, CEO and founder of MyKronoz.
"This disruptive mentality goes beyond the company's mission to provide
'smartwatches for everyone' by striving to become an industry leader on
price point, wide range, and fashionable design."
"My inspiration has been to combine the best of our Swiss heritage in
traditional watchmaking, with the key features of a smartwatch to
persuade the majority of consumers to adopt our wearable technology.
This has been accomplished with ZeTime, the perfect hybrid smartwatch.
It combines the best of both worlds: watch hands of an elegant
traditional timepiece with a full color touchscreen that instantly shows
incoming calls, smartphone notifications, real-time fitness activity,
upcoming calendar events, daily reminders and much more, right from your
wrist."
A classic take on wearable technology, ZeTime has a sleek stainless
steel watch case inspired by the finest Swiss design, along with a
variety of interchangeable digital watch faces and straps created to fit
every style. ZeTime is set for action with a 3-axis accelerometer and an
optical heart-rate sensor to track activity and sleep. With waterproof
performance of ATM3 (up to 30 meters' depth), ZeTime provides the
quality and versatility expected from traditional high-end timepieces,
at a much lower price. ZeTime will be available by early September 2017
from $199.90.
