Exclusive design for the electronics and the latest algorithms in human-machine learning, the timepiece revolutionaries the concept of timepieces by providing the user contextual and up to date information on the wrist. Not only users can easily switch the display to different modes and select the information to be displayed and combined, this watch actually knows what users want and will let the users know all about it.

Apart from communication with laptops, PDA and domestic appliances, developers can provide additional widgets that make use of the E’llipse APIs allowing a vast choice of additional tools that the user can download and install.

Inspired by the idea of creating a functional accessory and a piece of fashion statement at the same time, this minimalist piece of technology stylishly lays on your wrist. Its enormous screen with minimalist surfaces and smooth contours suggest ideas such as high technology and ease of use, the result is an elegant object with a futuristic air about it.
