A. Favre & Fils CEO Laurent Favre said in a statement:
“We have developed this first timepiece with the idea of offering something useful for the crypto-community, not simply something to spend their money on.”
A company representative told CoinDesk that the watch will cost in the range of CHF100,000 – CHF150,000 (or $102,000 – $153,000), depending upon the model and its features and materials.

The watch will “guarantee ultimate in-data security and privacy protection”, the company said, adding that the first prototype will be released during the second quarter of 2019.
“You have to keep adding relevant features that advance the design. It’s a bit like figuring out the future of steam engines in the age of electric trains,” Favre was quoted as saying to SWI swissinfo.ch, a news outlet owned by the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation.
