Samsung is at Baselworld this year. The Korean company
really wants you to know that it's participating in Baselworld this year, so
it's announced a bunch of concepts based on the Gear S3 smartwatches. Samsung's partnered with renowned watch designer Yvan Arpa. The concepts
range from interesting to vaguely interesting to outright odd.
We have the duo below, styled like
a Gear S3, but actually using Swiss made-movements and details. Next up, a
couple of smartwatches that have a "fresh take" on the bezel and
overall shape.
A Gear S3
pocket watch with an analog watch embedded in its case. Samsung calls it a
"hybrid" pocket watch. If this was ever to ship, we would only have
one if we'd get a smart monocle bundled with it.
Finally, here's a picture of a bunch of Gear S3s in
new materials and finishes, just for fun. Samsung says the Gear S3 is
"designed to complement any watch collection and draws from the luxury
timepieces on display at Baselworld", so that's why the company has a
presence there. In non-concept related news, Samsung made the LTE-enabled Gear
S3 classic official for the US, after having been exclusive to South Korea for
a while.
