The history of mass use of the wristwatch has barely more than a century, but it was enough for them to become one of the most striking accessories that underscored the wearer’s sense of style and status. The development of high-tech smartwatches has shifted the focus from outward elegance to minimalism and functionality, resulting in the need to choose between a beautiful accessory and an ultra-modern device. The emergence of the Epoché Watch revolutionized the industry by offering a sophisticated clientele the perfect combination of beauty and technology. The unique product was appreciated by true connoisseurs of quality and innovation, and the experts of Luxury Lifestyle Awards joined them by naming it the winner in the category of Best Luxury Hybrid Watch in Italy. 

Based in Naples (Italy), the startup Epoché was founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Alessandro Felaco, who already had experience working on a clothing and footwear brand. While attending Baselworld, the largest international annual watch and jewelry show in Basel, Switzerland, Alessandro was confronted with the lack of any transition between the classic wristwatch and the smartwatch. He had the idea of filling this gap between tradition and innovation, and his inherent passion for fashion and watches provided the inspiration for the flawless realization of his vision. 

Alessandro and his team have created their watches, drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of Italian craftsmen in the creation of spectacular design and assembly of the movement. That’s why when you first look at the Epoché Watch, you can enjoy its exquisite appearance, which makes no mistake: this is a true work of watchmaking art.  

But behind this external splendor hides no less impressive functionality of an ultra-modern mobile device. In normal watch operation, the high technology does not show itself. However, when a notification or reminder comes in on a connected smartphone, they all appear on the Epoché Watch’s built-in OLED display, allowing the wearer to respond to messenger events and manage other notifications from their smartphone.  

The latest technology developed and patented by the Epoché team is a complex algorithm that analyzes biometric sensor data and predictively suggests to the user what activities to do to improve their health. 

The user does not need to reach for the phone – just a glance at the wrist will be totally enough. The exclusive device is designed for business men and woman who appreciate the balance between elegance and technology, vibrates with every notification, and allows them not to miss important events and messages. If you cannot find your smartphone, you just need one tap on the clock so that the smartphone makes a sound, and you do not waste time in a long search. 

The Epoché Watch’s easy and reliable smartphone interaction is provided by the simple and user-friendly Epoché APP, available for iOS and Android. 

Epoché is not just a classic watch and a smartwatch in one package, but also a reliable accessory that will stand up to any vicissitudes that can expect an active person. Carefully selected case materials include steel, titanium, or carbon, as well as sapphire touch glass, a patent of their own, which gives the ability to activate gestures and control notifications directly on the glass. At the same time, the watch has a high degree of water resistance, withstanding the pressure of up to 5 ATMs. 

The energy efficiency of the Epoché is another of its outstanding features. It comes with two batteries, one of which is rechargeable via USB C, while the second battery is built into a Swiss movement and lasts for more than two years. 

Working tirelessly to expand the capabilities of Epoché and add new features, Alessandro Felaco and his team have great ambitions to build a unique Epoché ecosystem that will include a wide range of products and services to ensure maximum customer satisfaction and comfort.
