Samsung's Galaxy Gear and Fitbit's upcoming Force wristband
can both lay claim to being smarter than your average timepiece, but
Bissol's Calibre 2000 outdoes them both. Featuring an automatic Swiss
movement exposed by windows at its front and back, this mobile timepiece
plugs into the bottom of an iPhone 5 or 5S. It comes in a variety of
anodized aluminum hues, matched to Apple's latest iPhone color schemes,
and aims to combine the sophistication of traditional watchmaking with
the utility of modern technology. The price for one of Bissol's latest
is a reported $1,500, though the company also has the earlier Calibre
788 model, which is somewhat more affordable.
