TAG Heuer has officially unveiled the Connected, it’s first Android Wear-powered smartwatch. The watch was developed in partnership between Intel and Google, and is constructed out of titanium.
Inspired by the TAG Heuer Carrera, this watch includes a titanium case and signature strap in seven colors. In addition, its high-resolution, transflective sapphire glass display makes it easy to check the time and other important infoâ€â€even in the bright sun.
“No innovation no future. It is not enough to have tradition,†said TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Claude Biver this morning at the unveiling of the company’s new Connected Watch in New York.
“Today is the marriage of watch valley and silicon valley. The Swiss watch industry is connected to the future.â€Â
