The high-tech and high-style smartwatch is the product of tech giant HP and American fashion designer Michael Bastian's collaboration. The MB Chronowing gears away from the usual digital screen and has a clock dial on its face. According to Wall Street Journal's interview with Bastian, he decided to keep the clock dial on the smartwatch since 99 percent of the time you will be looking at your watch to check the time. To keep up with the trends, they made the clock's hands digital.

Unlike the popular smartwatches in the market today, this latest entry from HP has no touch screen where you can swipe, has no microphone to speak into, it has no health monitoring features (like measuring your heart rate and counting the number of your steps) and it doesn't even give a beeping sound to alarm user.

Despite its inabilities, the HP wearable can work with iOS and Android. It works well with devices running on Android 4.3 and above. Also works with iPhone 4 S and it newer versions. The smartwatch is also Bluetooth equipped TechFirstPost.com reports.

In Bastian's interview, he said that he aims to make the user more polite because of its "less techier" design which will cause less and discreet glancing as compared to wearing those giant touch screened equipped wearables. The smartwatch is equipped with the gentlest vibrations when you receive a text, email or notifications from your chosen apps. It can also show messages, weather updates, stock prices and other info. It has three buttons that will be used for navigating the watch's menu, turn-on built in light and control a phone's music player. Battery life is estimated to last for seven days.

MB Chronowing's base model comes in a 44mm stainless steel casing. It is available in two versions: one is the limited-edition, all black model with sapphire-glass crystal and an alligator strap priced at $649. The other version comes with three straps which come in brown leather, black rubber and olive green nylon priced at $349.
