It was only a matter of time until traditional watchmakers jumped into the smartwatch craze. It appears Tag Heuer will be among the first as they are cooking up something with Intel and Google.
The world watch and jewelry show, Baselworld, kicks off tomorrow in Switzerland, and Tag Heuer is set to announce the new watch around 2:00 pm local time.
It’s expected that Tag Heuer will design the watch case and the crown, but of course, they won’t be able to do the hardware and software. Tag Heuer recognizes that the “craftsmanship” in making a smartwatch is very different than tradtional watches, and that is why they separated the research and development business into two departments.
It will be interesting to see what Tag Heuer comes up with. Will more traditional watch manufacturers follow suit?
