Mondaine Contactless Watches
Mondaine are a proud Swiss watch company who provide a selection of instantly recognisable Swiss Railway Watches, which derive from the legendary Swiss Railway Clock design. Did you know they are also producing revolutionary Paychip technology embedded in the strap?
Mondaine are offering a range using Near Area Communication (NFC) contactless payment technology, essentially Mondaine contactless watches.
Many of the Swiss-made brand’s watches are to be fitted with a Mondaine PayChip, made to offer convenient and efficient transactions at contactless payment points. Clearly a revolution in the making? Near field communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enable two electronic devices, one of which is usually a portable device such as a smartphone, to establish communication by bringing them within 4 cm (2 in) of each other.
The Mondaine PayChip is the same size like a phone SIM-card and will be invisibly embedded inside a specifically-designed area of the Mondaine watch strap. The ‘handy’ positioning from the PayChip guarantees that a simple flick from the wrist leads to simple transactions at NFC pay counters worldwide. This means no more bulky bags or purses hindering you when out shopping.
Mondaine has legendary Swiss roots by mixing craftsmanship, functionality, and ease with technology made to declutter and distress.
The Mondaine Helvetica smartwatch would be the first introducing the PayChip installation.
According to reports we have heard. These versions are offered in the same cost range as the same versions without the PayChip.
An active illustration showing the Mondaine PayChip prototype will be demonstrated at Baselword to exhibit contactless transactions.
Mondaine has joined with Oberthur Technologies, the number one global provider of embedded security software items, services and solutions, who produce vast amounts of smart cards worldwide.
Oberthur Technologies and Mondaine have the firm belief that increasingly more merchants globally may have contactless payment products installed.
For that Swiss Market, Mondaine has joined with Cembra Money Bank AG, who’ll handle the MasterCard Charge Card to customers. The PayChip uses exactly the same technology already available, permitting clients to merely hover over contactless payment products.
In other nations, Mondaine’s marketers will partner with the domestic charge card companies who’ll then supply the same PayChip created by Oberthur.
This looks a fantastic idea and is sure to catch on! You can visit our Mondaine watch range here.
