Bucardo's latest line of pocket smartwatches and pendants takes the modern functionality of a smartwatch and combines it with a classic aesthetic quality.
A brand inspired by Ibex -- an animal that was once extinct and revived using genetic cloning -- Bucardo uses the Apple Watch to revive designs from vintage eras and pieces from the past.
The brand's 'Pendulum Collection' takes the 42 mm Apple Watch and turns it into a pocket watch that comes in two different styles. It also takes the 38 mm Apple Watch and turns it into a line of pendants that can be worn on a necklace. Each piece comes in either gold or silver-plating with a hinge that covers watch faces for added protection.
