Using an Apple Watch as a clasp: Is it creative or just too far-fetched?

　　“Smartwatches will not affect traditional watches” has basically become a consensus, however, to bring more convenience and features to wearers, some brands have also tried to “smartify” traditional watches, such as retrofitting watch straps into smart bands. However, the brand below has a rather wild imagination, having modified the metal bracelet of a traditional watch to attach an Apple Watch directly onto it. Tradition and modernity are thus forcefully fused together.

　　Named Pinnacle, this watch is a creation of the brand NICO GERARD. From the pictures, its concept is easy to understand: the front remains a traditional mechanical watch, while the clasp section of the metal bracelet has been modified to link seamlessly with the “Apple Watch”, whilst retaining the folding clasp function. By doing this, you will undoubtedly enjoy traditional watch culture alongside the convenience of a modern smartwatch. The editor specifically tried wearing an Apple Watch on the inside of the wrist, and it truly does not affect the use of the heart rate monitor, but if most of your work keeps you tied to a desk or computer, you can only hope the Apple Watch is sufficiently scratch-resistant.

　　Currently, this watch comes in two material variants: stainless steel and 18K gold, utilising an ETA 2824 automatic movement. Naturally, the 18K gold version is paired with an “ opulent ” edition of the Apple Watch Edition. The stainless steel model is priced at 9,300 USD, and the 18K gold model is priced at 112,000 USD. Given that a stainless steel Apple Watch starts at 599 USD and a 18K gold Apple Watch starts at 12,000 USD, you surely have a good idea of what kind of watch the remaining money could actually buy you. Who says creativity can't make money? However, this type of timepiece is hardly suitable for everyday wear and is not asReplica luxury watchpractical, fulfilling your vanity while letting you experience the enjoyment of a luxury watch.
