Grayton Set To Launch The Origin Mechanical Smart Watch

Taking almost 2 years to design Origin, a classic mechanical watch that features an interchangeable slim strap and embedded electronics, the Origin by Grayton has been born!. for Keep watch for the innovative fitness and intelligence to timekeeping with this revolutionary new addition to the watch industry - The Origin encapsulates when the modern tech world meets traditional watchmaking in pure style.

Technology evolves but style is timeless

As boutique watch makers, Grayton understands that there is no substitute for a beautifully 
designed and handcrafted automatic watch. The Origin Mechanical watch represents the 
perfect marriage of sophistication and smarts - the natural evolution of Intelligent Timepieces 
for a connected world.

Origin was designed to deliver the best of watchmaking and technology – a mechanical watch
with a classic design and embedded electronics hidden in its leather strap that add convenient 
smart features. 

The heart of the matter

The Origin is finely crafted to exacting standards in a brushed 316L stainless steel case with 
polished accents. The open-heart dial and see-through back cover puts Origin’s intricate selfwinding mechanism on display, and keeps Origin infinitely wound. Its Japanese movement has 26,100 beats per hour and 24 jewels for superior timekeeping accuracy and a power reserve of 41 hours between wearings.

Activity tracking in the strap

What makes Origin special, among other things, is the independent strap which instantly adds 

smart features. Designed to perfectly complement the Origin, the strap is refined, comfortable 
and slim. The smart strap is virtually indistinguishable from the best traditional leather straps of 
other fine watchmakers.

“Fitness trackers are popular because they are affordable and offer useful functions. But they 
feel cheap, are often uncomfortable and become obsolete quickly. We are living in a new era 
where timepieces meet fashion and technology and there is no turning back! Origin is the first 
Mechanical watch that has connected features built directly into a classic leather smart strap. 
Now, people don’t have to choose between beauty and convenience”  quotes Sébastien Druvent, Product Marketing Advisor.

Intelligent convenience every day

This revolutionary watch connects to a smartphone for the most convenient features such as 
calendar reminder, alarms, phone notifications and more. The built-in battery allows up to 10 
days of autonomy between charges. It’s ideal for receiving notification alerts in the office or 
recording workout fitness data at the gym. The Origin and the accompanying Grayton app are
compatible with both iPhone and Android phones. 

Make any watch smart

For people that already have a watch that they love, the Grayton smart strap is interchangeable 
with standard watch straps to easily add fitness and intelligence to any watch from Daniel 
Wellington® to Patek Philippe®.

convenience coexist perfectly in a stunning timepiece for any occasion.
