S Smart Style Mondaine Spells Out Your Goals Frederique Constant: New Blue World Following the introduction of its first integrated smart watch, Frederique Constant now adds a new Worldtimer function andplaces it on a new blue dial. You can now check your home time and keep track of local time. When travelling, the watch will automatically synchronize with the user’s smartphone date and time. Once an additional time zone has been selected, three pushes on the button will display the time in another part of the world on the analogue dial of the watch. The new functionality can also be added to previous models of the Horological Smartwatch by simply updating the MotionX-365 app. Activity data is also displayed in the MotionX-365 app, available for iOS and Android, and will highlight how much one has moved and slept during the day, week, or month. The new iteration is stunning in a navy blue dial, navy croc strap and a rose-gold-plated stainless steel case. Price: $1,295. 86 | AboutTime Magazine Using the same MotionX technology to track steps and sleep cycles as well as activity alerts, Mondaine’s Helvetica series is its platform into the activity tracker world. Retaining Mondaine’s simple, industrial design, the Helvetica No. 1 will appeal to buyers who prefer a Swiss Made watch with a clean-cut functionality that does not get bogged down with too much information. Retail price is just under $900.
