Pocket watches have always been a symbol of status and style. Despite that fact, in today’s world it takes a very confident man to sport one, because it’s a very fine line between looking cool and looking like an dandy. The Cobalt brings it into the now, sporting a round OLED touch screen to easily interact with it’s features.
All it takes is moving your thumb left, right, up or down. The screen shows the time, date, temperature, voicemail, email and text. It’s also extremely customizable and easily changed depending on your needs. There’s also a secret compartment for things like keys. Does it make the pocket watch less dorky? I don’t know, but it should go with frilly shirts and top hats…That also have touchscreens.

Must be a pretty big watch to have a “secret compartment” that can hold things like keys. As intriguing as it sounds, I’d rather go with the good, old-fashioned analog version.
