One of these is Madrid-and Paris-based startup Maintool, who have made the Classi watch band, a wearable which empowers clients to make their standard watches "brilliant."
I met with fellow benefactor and CEO Hussain Ahamed and Community Manager Jody Serrano to take in more.
"We're allowing you to keep your own watch yet at the same time profit by indistinguishable functionalities from the absolute best wearable innovations," Ahamed said.
The savvy band can be joined to any watch confront.

You can explore to your goal without hands and convey for help with the push of a catch. Classi additionally has a telephone misfortune avoidance include and will vibrate firmly on the off chance that you overlook your telephone.
Serrano noticed that "Multiple occasions, individuals can't differentiate between a Classi tie and an ordinary watch tie.

Enter the brilliant watchband
Offers of Swiss watches are on the slope with worldwide wearable tech gadgets surpassing them in Q4 of 2015, as per figures discharged by economic analyst Strategy Analytics.
This denoted the first run through the wearable tech gadgets have surpassed their sumptuous partners. A significant part of the credit is ascribed to the Apple smartwatch. Further, a 2015 report by Deloitte into the Swiss watch industry uncovered an absence of energy about the difficulties to the business by shrewd watches with just 25% of Swiss watch officials considered smartwatches to be an aggressive danger.
In light of the test of the financial standpoint of the business, 41% of respondents communicated negativity with most ascribing the monetary difficulties to debilitated interest in China and Hong Kong and the quality of the Swiss franc. It recommends an industry that is trying to claim ignorance with Neil Mawston, Executive Director at Strategy Analytics expressing:
"The Swiss watch industry has been ease back to respond to the advancement of smartwatches. The Swiss watch industry has been putting its head in the sand and trusting smartwatches will leave."
Be that as it may, the upward pattern of keen watches has started to decay.

Deals dropped from 3.6 million in a similar quarter a year ago to 1.6 million this year, a 56 percent downturn. Maybe it's the ideal opportunity for shrewd watchbands to strike.
Keeping up that Swiss watch legacy
Ahamed trusts that their keen watchband can really protect the legacy factor of the Swiss watch industry, taking note of that their discussions with Swiss watch producers have been sure:
" The CEOs and board individuals are recognizing that they didn't get ready regarding quart [Mechanical developments are commonly picked over quartz developments for extravagance watches on account of the dimension of value and craftsmanship]. They concede 'We're Swiss so we will be moderate however we're intrigued and we're paying heed'. The magnificence of Classi is that you're not changing your modern model. Rather you're enabling customers to change to our tie."
He likewise battles that:
"Each watch has an identity, we need individuals to have the capacity to communicate and their own style. Brilliant watches don't have a great deal of identity, there's a lot more to the watch than something that just tells the time, for many individuals it's about the plan, the brand, the way of life, Smart watches today obliterate this. Classi has intergenerational offer and we trust that out of the blue, this is an item that our folks and grandparents will really wear."
It'll be fascinating to perceive how offers of savvy groups admission. They could be vital to crossing over any barrier between an extremely conventional industry of committed craftspeople and future centered innovation.
