On a boundary of millenniums people often contemplate - what future is likely to be. It’s possible to predict the future, when you try to do it by separate subjects, like watch, for example.

Let’s think about watch of the future, how it will look like, what complications it will have, will the people’s attitude change to the watch.

First of all we should decide if the people of future will need the watch, and if yes, what kind of? I’m sure the watch will be still needed, like always. They are the system element which is needed to adapt to the informational environment which is getting more complex. The watch will take the role of a bridge between a human being and surrounding world.

Everything is on the hand

The main task of the watch is to combine number of functions.  Personal electronic office on your wrist will serve you as:

• identity card,
• driving license,
• plastic credit card,
• key to your house and the car,
• insurance policy,
• computer

The watch of the future will not only receive but also create and transmit the information, even audio-visual kind.

Everyone get whatever they want

Of course not everyone will need such a wide spectrum of functions, but it won’t be enough for some people neither. For optimal communication with the surrounding world, the man should choose the functions and options of personal wrist system himself. The choice will define the profession, the age and the sex of the owner.  The watch of a cook should be different from the watch belonging to a businessman, doctor, sportsman or a pilot. The man could replace not only models but also a dial plate with wristlet; it depends on your mood or arrangements you’re planning for this night.

Everlasting watch

First of all people started to make an accurate watch, then make it smaller, then started thinking of self-winding, quartz resonator, batteries with 10-years work term and then such technologies as Eco—drive, Spring-drive, Kinetic and Autoquartz. Two yeas ago Omega produced the mechanic watch with coaxial hauling down, providing the owners with note: “open once per 25 years”. Motion accuracy of mechanical watch constantly increases because of manufactured superstrong alloy materials, dynamograph, tourbillon (Royal Oak Concept of Audemars Piguet).

Jewelry game

The watches also have very ancient and important function of being jewelry. The watches have always been a sign of social status and richness of the owner. A possible direction of jewelry watch development is miniaturization. Admit, that it’s hard to forget  Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts Minute Repeater Genghis Khan by Ulysse Nardin. There are still enough things to be made, for example to make Star Caliber 2000 by Patek Philippe as a wrist variant with its 21 additional functions.
