Swatch Group, CSEM are Developing Swiss-Made Ecosystem for Connected Objects

Swatch Group and CSEM are working on the development of a unique Swiss-made ecosystem. It will be designed especially for the needs of small connected objects (Internet of Things) and, naturally, first for watches. This platform will be built around an operating system that is completely new. The aim is to launch the first products by the end of 2018.
 
The operating system developed in partnership with CSEM is only the first stage and new future low-power-consumption applications are already planned by the two partners.
 
Swatch Group, which holds shares in CSEM, will contribute its expertise in the area of batteries, due to its Renata subsidiary, a company that specializes in the field, as well as the field of integrated circuits with EM Microelectronic, also a company of the Swatch Group.
 
The project will benefit from CSEM’s leading position in the field of very-low-consumption circuits and systems, as well as its vast portfolio of technologies applied to connected objects.
