Sgnl is a smartwatch strap that allows the user to take phone
calls by simply placing their finger to their ear. Only the user can
listen to the conversation because the sound vibrations required
for it to work are transmitted through the user's finger. It pairs
with the user's smartphone via Bluetooth.

Our passionate talents develop industrialization strategy, optimize product design, implement DFX methodologies, prepare
manufacturing, improve quality and manage product life-cycles.

Sgnl provides nearly universal watch compatibility across various
brands and models, including Omega, Montblanc, Apple Watch,
Samsung Gear and more. Other convenient smart functions are
accessible through the app, including Call Reminder, Fitness
Tracker and Smart Notification.

*Projects are challenging and the talented love challenges,

Sgnl has been in development for more than two years, and the
final product will be shown at CES 2018. Sgnl S, a lighter version
of the original, will also be introduced.
