So we started thinking almost moving abroad from the cloud where all your information is stored and onto a server.

"Nosotros wanted a hard drive you could have close to your and keep command of, and then the thought of the hard drive as a bracelet came upward. We started thinking how y'all could do the screen a different way and that's where it started!"

Pommier says that the bracelet will be priced betwixt €300-€400 and that he hopes it volition be ready for the industry and to mass market by June 2015.
