Em Primeira mão - relógio conectado Montblanc Summit, em colaboração com a Google

Será hoje lançado em Londres, e sexta-feira em algumas das boutiques Montblanc no mundo (incluindo Lisboa), o primeiro relógio conectado da Montblanc. Baptizado de Summit, tem a colaboração da Google.

"Estamos a introduzir os códigos da Alta Relojoaria no sector dos smartwatches, abrindo um novo capítulo nos objectos de luxo masculinos", diz-nos Jerôme Lambert, responsável pela Logística Relojoeira no Grupo Richemont, dono da Montblanc.

O Montblanc Summite stá equipado com software Android Wear™ 2.0, o mais recente sistema operativo da Google para smartwatches, usando um processador Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Wear 2100.

A Montblanc garantiu para este relógio conectado uma parceria com a Uber ou uma app Foursquare City Guide. "Pela primeira vez em relógios conectados, o vidro de safira do mostrador é abaulado, para dar uma sensação de relógio mecânico no pulso", diz Jerôme Lambert.

Operado com um chip Snapdragon da Qualcomm Technologies, tem autonomia de 24 horas. Inspirado na colecção 1858, o Montblanc Sumit tem caixam de 46mm e o mostrador representa digitalmente o mostrador analógico dos relógios dessa colecção. Deverá custar cerca de 890€ e está disponível a partir de Maio.

Diz Jerôme Lambert: "In the creation of the Montblanc Summit’s design, we wanted to bring a one-of-a-kind vintage design expression into this new product category to inspire the younger generation who appreciates the vintage look, especially when it is combined with high quality steel and titanium cases and contemporary straps that give the feeling of a mechanical watch on the wrist".

O Montblanc Summit tem mostrador com ecrã táctil e um microfone através do qual os utilizadores podem perguntar ao seu Google Assistant todo o tipo de informação, direcções ou traduções, ou ajuda em tarefas como acertar alarmes ou ditar emails.

Explica Jerôme Lambert: "When there isn’t time to start typing a reply on a phone, the Montblanc Summit offers quick and smart replies using the keyboard, swiping, handwriting or even voice messages".
