There are two crises in the watchmaking history, Quartz Crisis and Smartwatch Wars. Quartz Crisis defeated many of Swiss watchmakers, while those who have withstood the test of Quartz Crisis won’t fear the smartwatch war, like Rolex, Patek Philippe. Some of luxury brands have chosen to join smart watches, like IWC, TAG Heuer, Bvlgari, Breitling and MontBlanc. More and more smart watches are launched, so they cannot be ignored at present. It’s in 2015 MontBlanc released the first smart product, an e-Strap. It’s a bold try in the “explosion” period. Two years later, MontBlanc Summit Smartwatch came out. Many of watch fans didn’t know why MontBlanc would design and produce smart watches. I think that those who love the brand need a smart watch with MontBlanc culture and distinctive aesthetics. In essence, MontBlanc is a business-style brand. From pens, leather goods to fine watchmaking, every item has a close connection with business style, and MontBlanc Summit Smartwatch continues the style. The world time and variety of exterior designs make MontBlanc Summit Smartwatch popular.
