Start-up blends NFC into the glass of Swiss watches

A collaboration between a smart payments company and Swiss watch manufacturer has yielded a new technology that could be headed to your next wearable – NFC infused glass.
It’s just an analogue device, not a hybrid smartwatch like the Fossil Hybrid HR, but uses STISS payments glass, which is a super-strong sapphire crystal glass panel infused with payment technology. The payment chip and antenna are concealed within the glass watch face, and it works with Mastercard.
