Description

The ���Smart PDG Watch�۪ developed by Luxius Suisse, represents a truly unique and innovative watch, which combines future technology with traditional watch craftsmanship. An esquire fusion, symbol of performant luxury, the ���Smart PDG Watch�۪ symbolizes the two things which never stop: the Time and the news of the World. The ���Smart PDG Watch�۪ is a hybrid watch with two interchangeable watch cases and two time dials, indicating the present time and the time of another time zone. The first watch case contains a full blown Swiss manual winding, mechanical tourbillon movement with a balance frequency of 28,800 a/h (4 Hz) and a power reserve of 48 hours, containing 21 jewels. The dial face is in anthracite nacre with ̩mail finishing and a mozaic of lines is pointing to the center of the universe of time, where the hands in 18 carat white gold are attached, indicating the present time. A crown with a red ruby, reminding the center of the tourbillon, is situated on the left hand side of the mechanical watch case. The skeleton tourbillon movement contains an escapement symbolizing a little plankton fish, swimming in a little pond, representing Lake Leman, in the middle of a big oval ocean. The second, interchangeable watch case integrates a connected smart watch movement, with a digital dial face, reminding the image of the mechanical tourbillon, with in the bottom part a notification screen, streaming real time world news messages. On the round bezel time indications have been engraved by hand as well as on the 12 o�۪clock mark the model name ���PDG�۪. The metal bracelet with a foldable buckle, contains in a mechanical movement and an anthracite dial with email finishing, reproducing the design codes of the round tourbillon dial, showing the hour in a second time zone. This automatic mechanical movement, is based in a watch case of 22 mm long, 9 mm high and 5 mm deep, and is therefore probably one of the smallest ever developed in Switzerland. Since ���Performant Luxury�۪ is ���Timeless�۪, the technology of the connected intelligent watch movement can be upgraded online anytime.
