Swiss Horological Smartwatch powered by MotionX (R)

February 26, 2015 – Frederique Constant and Alpina announced in Japan, Swiss and USA the Swiss Horological Smartwatch, powered by MotionX(R).

Powered by MotionX, the Swiss Horological Smartwatches are capable of bi-directional communication with iPhone and Android apps. The Swiss Horological Smartwatch is the synthesis of high-tech innovation and traditional Swiss watch craftsmanship; it is the link (no pun intended) between modern and classic, and the bridge between Silicon Valley and Switzerland. There is no digital screen on the Swiss Horological Smartwatch. Instead, the beautiful laser cut hands on the watch dial display information in analog form. The Swiss Horological Smartwatches retain their natural classic beauty and can deliver the benefits of the quantified self, all without ever having to recharge a battery.

The MotionX patented sensor-fusion engine tracks activity and sleep patterns with high accuracy. Activity and sleep information is presented in real-time on the Swiss Horological Smartwatch using beautiful traditional analog dials. The Swiss Horological Smartwatch synchronizes automatically with applications on Apple and Android smartphones. On the iOS and Android apps, simple and easy-to-understand graphics highlight how much one has moved and slept during the day, week, or month. This data will assist users to better understanding themselves, and along with appropriate goal setting and intelligent coaching, will improve their well being. Better sleep and a more active lifestyle are widely recognized as simple, but effective, positive behavioral changes. The Swiss Horological Smartwatch now combines the features and functionally of the MotionX technology platform with a luxury timepiece.

The first Swiss Horological Smartwatches will support the following functionality:

  • Always-on time & date 
  • MotionX activity tracking
  • Sleeptracker(R) sleep monitoring
  • Sleep cycle alarms 
  • Get-Active alerts
  • Adaptive coaching 
  • 2 + years battery life
  • MotionX cloud backup and restore  


MMT (Manufacture Modules Technologies Sarl) is a new Swiss joint venture formed by Fullpower Technologies, Inc. of Silicon Valley and the owners of the Frederique Constant Group. Its mission is to bring the MotionX-365(R) Horological Smartwatch Open Platform to the Swiss watch industry. MMT’s headquarters are in Geneva.  

Frederique Constant and Alpina brands will offer 10+ different models in designer collections for both ladies and gentlemen, powered by MMT’s MotionX technology platform, delivering 24/7 MotionX activity tracking and sleep monitoring, with over two years battery life, and compatible with Apple and Android smartphones worldwide. Swiss Horological Smartwatch in styles for both ladies and gentlemen will be available in stores worldwide starting in June 2015.
