Revolutionizing the Wrist Shot - in Augmented Reality...

https://instagram.com/p/BPXuqw2jd83/

Ok. Normally I avoid posting urls...but here are a couple images to go with the actual video which is on Instagram above.

A semi-nifty way to see what a watch looks like on wrist - while not wearing the actual watch.

Just some fun at SIHH posted in the feed of "A blog to watch."

You wear a special bracelet and hold it under a camera to see how a particular Watch looks on wrist...Maybe a nice to have when your AD is out of stock on a 16500 or BLNR!

Very cool. Is that a dead beat seconds hand, or the augmented reality that makes it look that way?

I'm betting the world timer is NOT dead beat seconds...but I could be wrong. Lots of nice releases by JLC though.

That's better than the x-ray machines they used to have in shoe stores.

Revolutionizing the Wrist Shot - in Augmented Reality...

Warby Parker has a similar app on line which superimposes eye glass frames on a photo of your face...this Watch app is a bit higher tech though.

It would be fun to try.

That is cool esp when you turn your wrist over and see how it all looks.

Wonder if it automatically centers the clasp under your wrist.
