The comeback 
of the
What time is it? 
Oh. It’s 5 past six. 
Nowadays people use their 
smartphone to know what time it is. 
Sales of wristwatches have declined 
since 2005. Being able to tell time 
is secondary to being fashionably.
1,200,000,000 watches. Every year. 
But in constant decline since 2005.

Q 
Will people start 
wearing watches to tell 
time ... again? 
Comeback time?
Pebble showed the way … 
along with 68,928 early believers.

Within two hours of going live, the Kickstarter project had met the $100,000 goal. 
Within six days, the project had become the most funded project in the history of 
Kickstarter, raising over $4.7 million with 30 days left of the campaign. 
On May 18, 2012, funding closed with $10,266,844 pledged by 68,928 people.

BLOCK

...
Time has come 
to disrupt the market (again).
Early ‘disruptors’ 
Seiko unveiled electronic 
quartz wristwatch in 1969 
Casio took 
electronic 
watches 
to the next 
level (1985)
Nokia envisioned 
the future 
(2008) 
Nokia envisioned the 
ultimate functionality that 
nanotechnology might be 
capable of delivering: 
flexible materials, 
transparent electronics and 
self-cleaning surfaces. 
But ... too much, too soon.
Samsung Pace of 
Sony SW2 
Motorola 360 
introductions is 
speeding up. 
GEAR 2 Pebble 
steel
Even Microsoft 
might come up 
with something ... 
[just kidding)
The $100.000.000 question now is: 
Can/will Apple surprise us?
The Comeback of the Watch
Will Apple set the standard 
for the SmartWatch? 
Yes. And because of the following 6 reasons.
Reason 1: The Ecosystem 
Apple already has 800,000,000 iOS devices in play.
Reason 2: Money on the Wrist 
NFC + Fingerprint + PassBook + 800 mio iTunes accounts
Reason 3: Digital Health 
Pending FDA approval will turn iWatch into Medical Device
Reason 4: Talk to the Hand 
Your Siri assistant will always be on your side.
Reason 5: Life Controle Remote 
The internet of things is slapped 
around your wrist.
Reason 6: Fashion 
Fashion 
Fashion 
Fashion 
Fashion 
Design & Fashion talent are all aboard

So yes ... 
2014 will be the year 
of the 
Finally!
