If anyone knows what the time has come for, it must be the watch collector, founder, entrepreneur, and influencer Austen Chu. Dubbed by the New York Times \u201eThe Nerd Who Learned His Stuff\u201c, we simply, but proudly refer to him as our client. With his brand Wristcheck he intends to conquer the Asian market for pre-owned luxury wristwatches. And he already is setting new standards in presentation \u2013 with a gesture-controlled display window made by Garamantis.<\/b><\/p>\n

Luxury for Millennials: A Trustworthy Platform for Watch Aficionados<\/span><\/h3>\n

Austen Chu first rose to prominence with his Instagram account <\/span>horoloupe<\/a>,<\/b> which in the end earned him a cooperation with the renowned Swiss watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet. He has since started to pursue his own agenda with his online platform <\/span>wristcheck.com<\/b><\/a>, where he presents high\u2011end visual material, exciting background stories and, of course \u2013 watches for purchase and sale. With this he provides access to the luxury segment for the next generation of watch collectors and seems to have hit a nerve with it:<\/span><\/p>\n

In the summer of 2021 Chu opened the <\/span>Wristcheck Experience<\/b> in Central Hong Kong<\/b>. Right in the middle of the famous LANDMARK shopping complex among Louis Vuitton and Tiffany\u2019s, a unique in-store experience for the lovers of high-end quality wristwatches is currently emerging. But it is not only watches that are going over the counter there; instead, a space for the exchange of knowledge and trivia within the community and for enjoyment and relaxation is created.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It Is About Time for Innovation: Touch\u2011Gesture Exploration of Luxury Timepieces<\/span><\/h3>\n

The central element of the <\/span>Wristcheck Experience<\/b> consists in a 7 m (23 ft) wide and 3 m (10 ft) tall interactive display window designed by Hong Kong\u2019s very own architects and interior designers <\/span>Studio MLKK<\/a>. <\/span>Framed by rough natural stone arrangements and three interactive screens, this display case\u2019s experiential space presents up to 12 watches on interactively responsive turntables. Those can be activated individually through touchless gestures just in front of the window\u2019s glass panel and the watches thus can be rotated freely by 360 degrees. An atmospheric lighting concept and additional screens positioned next to the exhibits present these coveted timepieces in detail, which makes it conceivably easy for customers and store consultants alike to delve into the watches\u2019 unique intricacies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garamantis\u2019s Contribution: A Shop Window Which Has Long Since Outpaced Its Pedestrian Description<\/span><\/h3>\n

Conception and realization of all interactive elements come straight from our Garamantis Lab. Gesture control throughout the entire glass surface is achieved by means of LIDAR systems. Those are lasers rotating extremely fast and, in the process, detecting the tiniest of movements in their surroundings. The interactive turntables are controlled through MQTT, a network protocol designed for IoT machine-to-machine communication. This may sound very dull and technical at first but is nothing of that sort \u2013 on the contrary, it facilitates immediate and smooth rotation and LED highlighting of the watches currently activated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Software and CMS by Garamantis enable easy and effortless exchange, recombination, and rearrangement of the watches and all other elements on display in the window. Both display-case control and content of the digital screens can easily be updated via the backend\u2019s web interface. Through this CMS, the position of each turntable, and which area in front of the glass panel is LIDAR-scanned accordingly, can be defined. This high extent of interactivity and flexibility turns the traditional storefront window intended merely to be looked at into a state-of the-art display to be marveled at.<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovation Starts With Finding Novel Ways in Development and Implementation: A Trip to Hong Kong via TeamViewer<\/span><\/h3>\n

As Covid-19-related travel restrictions precluded entry to Hong Kong for non-citizens, also the on-site installation of the technical components was a first. We shipped the pre-configured hardware to Hong Kong, where the architects from XLMS trouble-free installed and integrated it according to our detailed documentation manual. Remote access, as well as an identical test setup in our Berlin Lab, allowed us to optimally accompany and support the rollout process.<\/span><\/p>\n
