About this time last year at Baselworld 2006, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève prize for electronic watches was awarded to Seiko for their breakthrough in electronic ink technology. Their watch featured a thin-yet-easy to read e-ink display all around the watch. This year they one-upped themselves with a new e-ink watch-style bracelet for females that features emotional technology. The new bracelet has different modes depending the wearers mood and what they are doing. There is an “Efficiency” mode which “the display is informative and easy to read”. There is also a “Mystery” mode where “the panel expresses the time in a more imaginative, evocative style”. There is no word on pricing, production, nor availability right now, but I hope to see these in stores sometime soon.
UPDATE: There are only 5 of these watches made. Production of these watches might be around fall 2007.
