Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Swatch said it doesn’t rule out
forming agreements with consumer-electronics companies to help
produce smartwatches amid increasing competition in timepieces
with more functions.
* “We already work with a lot of them as a supplier of various
strategically important components,” Beatrice Howald, a
spokeswoman for Swatch, said in an e-mail, adding that the
company has all the necessary technologies for a smartwatch.
“We don’t exclude that it could come to deeper
collaboration, but it’s not on our priority list”
