Sweden's Mutewatch Expanding With Brookstone Partnership
Time Management Tool Meets Fashion
STOCKHOLM, April 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Mutewatch, one of Sweden's hottest innovations*, has brought its one-of-a-kind touch
screen watch to specialty retailer, Brookstone (select cities) and Brookstone.com
[http://www.brookstone.com/mutewatch-hidden-touchscreen-wristwatch ]. Celebrated by the
tech community for its unique engineering, and the fashion community for its sleek design,
Mutewatch is truly unlike anything else.
Inspired by minimalist Swedish design, the solid-colored watch features a hidden
touchscreen that comes alive with either a tap of the finger or a flick of the wrist.
Functions include a clock, alarm, and timer - each accessible with a swipe of the
touchscreen. The watch's key feature is a silent vibrating alert that can subtly remind
the wearer when it's time to sum up a presentation, move on to another project, or head to
the next appointment.
This silent reminder, from which the watch takes its name, is central to the brand's
goal of creating a fashionable and functional tool for time management. According to
Mutewatch CEO, Mai-Li Hammargren, "Our goal is to develop products that give people the
tools they need to manage their time in a sustainable way. The Mutewatch works for
everyone who has a set of tasks, a goal to achieve, and only 24 hours a day to do so."
Brookstone will be featuring Mutewatch in select stores and online at Brookstone.com
[http://www.brookstone.com/mutewatch-hidden-touchscreen-wristwatch ]. Mutewatch will
retail for $259.00.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak called the watch "a masterpiece of combining materials
in ways I've never before seen**" and Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld purchased
three watches in Paris.
