This Emergency Watch looks like a classical watch and thus counteracts stigmatisation of the wearer. The emergency call button is located on the right side of the housing to avoid false alarms. When the emergency call is made, thanks to an integrated GSM module, loudspeaker and microphone, it can set up a telephone call to people whose numbers are stored. Despite complex technology, which is located in the smallest space, the watch is very light, weighing only 46 grams.
Statement by the Jury
The emergency watch convinces with a well-conceived style in classical watch design which counters the stigmatisation of people in need of help.
