Swiss watchmaker Mondaine unveils a limited version of its Helvetica 1 Smartwatch to celebrate the birth of the Helvetica font. Limited to just 1,957 pieces (the year the font was introduced in Switzerland), the commemorative timepiece is compatible with both Android and iOS, and features a battery life that runs for over two years, whilst smartwatch capabilities like activity monitoring, sleep tracking and alarms are also part of the package. A numbered engraving on the side of the 44mm brushed stainless steel case and an antireflective-coated sapphire crystal finishes off the crisp design. Priced at $840 USD, the Mondaine Helvetica Smart 1957 is already available for pre-order on the watchmaker’s webstore and the Museum of Modern Art webstore, and if you want a closer look at the design process and functions check out this video here.
