Origin by Grayton Mechanical Smart Watch
It took them almost 2 years to design Origin, a classic mechanical watch that features an interchangeable slim strap with embedded electronics for adding fitness and intelligence to timekeeping. When modern tech meets traditional watchmaking, the Origin by Grayton is born!
Grayton introduces the Origin Mechanical watch: a classic self-winding timepiece with open-heart design plus a smart strap for activity tracking, phone notifications, music control and more.
Technology evolves but style is timeless As boutique watch makers, Grayton understands that there is no substitute for a beautifully designed and handcrafted automatic watch. The Origin Mechanical watch represents the perfect marriage of sophistication and smarts - the natural evolution of Intelligent Timepieces for a connected world.
The heart of the matter
The Origin is finely crafted to exacting standards in a brushed 316L stainless steel case with polished accents. The open-heart dial and see-through back cover puts Origin’s intricate selfwinding mechanism on display, and keeps Origin infinitely wound. Its Japanese movement has 26,100 beats per hour and 24 jewels for superior timekeeping accuracy and a power reserve of 41 hours between wearings.
Activity tracking in the strap
What makes Origin special, among other things, is the independent strap which instantly adds smart features. Designed to perfectly complement the Origin, the strap is refined, comfortable and slim. The smart strap is virtually indistinguishable from the best traditional leather straps of other fine watchmakers.
“Fitness trackers are popular because they are affordable and offer useful functions. But they feel cheap, are often uncomfortable and become obsolete quickly. We are living in a new era where timepieces meet fashion and technology and there is no turning back! Origin is the first Mechanical watch that has connected features built directly into a classic leather smart strap. Now, people don’t have to choose between beauty and convenience” Sébastien Druvent, Product Marketing Advisor.
Intelligent convenience every day
This revolutionary watch connects to a smartphone for the most convenient features such as calendar reminder, alarms, phone notifications and more. The built-in battery allows up to 10 days of autonomy between charges. It’s ideal for receiving notification alerts in the office or recording workout fitness data at the gym. The Origin and the accompanying Grayton app are compatible with both iPhone and Android phones.
Make any watch smart
For people that already have a watch that they love, the Grayton smart strap is interchangeable with standard watch straps to easily add fitness and intelligence to any watch from Daniel Wellington® to Patek Philippe®.
A watch ahead of its time
Grayton has raised the bar on what a classic watch can do. With Origin, fashion, technology and convenience coexist perfectly in a stunning timepiece for any occasion.
Availability
Origin is in pre-production for a commercial release in May 2017 on www.indiegogo.com/at/origin-watch
Origin will be exclusively available for pre-sale on Indiegogo.com beginning November 28st, 2016. Wholesale packages for distributors and retailers will be available during the campaign.

Black Friday Results 2016 Clothing Stores
Regarding this blog post, let me be clear by saying that the reports on how selling went on Black Friday are still trickling in. Therefore, I am not going to be giving specific facts (or "estimated" sort of facts) in this particular article. It is currently the early morning after Black Friday. So it is not so easy to gather the facts yet. When finding information on various websites it is important to understand that the reports were written very late last night or extremely early this morning. I wonder how tired the journalists are when they are writing the articles and calculating the sales numbers...
For example of early morning writting, Black Friday Shopping: Tales From the Front Lines on The New York Times appears to have been written at 1:27AM (Sure, I don't know what time zone the author is in). The article begins, "The unofficial start of the holiday shopping season began on Thursday, when many national retailers opened their doors and offered major sales. It kicked into high gear on Friday, when many more stores entered the fray.". It goes on to provide stories of shoppers, shopping deals, and a brief history about Black Friday.
It is a frenzy for the media companies to report on the Black Friday sales results and I know you are looking forward to hearing if this was a positive or negative day for the fashion industry. After we have time to review the data and read thru various sales reports we will be adding information about yesterdays selling in our Black Friday Sales Reports section.
If you are interested in taking a break from shopping, you can find this years information at the Black Friday results 2016 page (again this years information is not yet complete).
Thank you for taking the time to read our fashion retail blog post. We hope that you have found this news about Black Friday results to be informative. If you have comments or questions, please add your thoughts in the discussion area below.

Temporary Shopping Jam at Macy's
The temporary shopping jam! message is following by a ten second count down. As you can see below, I took a snap shot of the count down at 7 seconds.
According to Bloomberg, Holly Thomas, a spokeswoman for the largest U.S. department-store chain, said in an e-mail."We are still taking a high volume of online orders, and we are working quickly to alleviate the delay issue, which we hope to have resolved shortly”.
If they are up and running, you can shop at Macy's online now.
Maybe the temporary shopping jam 10 second delay is a ploy by Macy's to get more shoppers. Possibly, they have created this on purpose as a marketing scheme. Think about all of the news media and fashion bloggers (like me) that will be writing about this issue. Maybe more people will now visit Macy's today.
You may also want to think about shopping for clothes on Amazon.

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in the United States. It was originally celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States (yes, that is today).

By the way, don't forget that tomorrow is "Black Friday". That is a very important day for the fashion industry.

The character was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, and first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series in September 1992. She later appeared in DC Comics' Batman comic books, with her first comic book appearance in The Batman Adventures #12 (Sept. 1993).
Harley Quinn is the Joker's frequent accomplice and lover, whom she met while working as a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, where the Joker was a patient. Her name is a play on the name "Harlequin", a character which originated in the commedia dell'arte. The character made her live-action cinematic debut in the 2016 film Suicide Squad, portrayed by the beautiful and fashionable Margot Robbie.
