The expected Prime Minister Apple Watch can seriously mess in the segment of traditional timepieces. These fears were confirmed by Swiss manufacturers of Swatch watches in the lead.

A few months ago, the producers argued Classic Watches that are not afraid of competition or from Apple Watcha, or any other SmartWatch. Now the front slightly changed. Elmar Mock, one of the creators of Swatch, said that the Swiss watch manufacturers will feel painful emergence of Apple Watcha.

– Each manufacturer having in its offer watches in the price range of $ 500-1000 is threatened. I look forward to the coming of the true ice age – Mock Bloomberg said.

The cheapest version of Apple Watch Sport will be available for 349 dollars. For the most expensive watch model Apple will pay a lot more than 10 thousand. dollars. Yet between them is still a whole bunch of intermediate models, which probably will enjoy the most popular.

– Swiss watch manufacturers made the same mistake again. No seriously coming to Apple Watcha, calling him a gadget and not watch, zaszkodziliśmy themselves – Mock said.

Mock is convinced that Apple will not plunge the Swiss watch industry, but over the next 2-3 years much it weaken.
