Ur&Penn launches the watch brand Equinox

Equinox is focused on design, choice of material and functionality. The vision is a watch which simplifies the everyday life for the one with a conscious mind, and at the same time adds another dimension to the owner’s style. The watch comes in stainless steel, is waterproof up to 50 m and comes with a genuine leather strap. Some of the models have an in-built NFC chip which through Fidesmo Pay makes it possible for the owner to connect a payment card*, enabling them to tap and pay.

Fidesmo is a Swedish tech company founded 2013. Fidesmo makes it possible to connect payment cards and other contactless services to different wearables, e.g. watches, in a simple and secure way.

“Fidesmo aims to increase the availability of wearable payments and our partnership with Ur&Penn is an important milestone in the Swedish market”, says Mattias Eld, CEO and co-founder at Fidesmo.

The Equinox brand consists of different models and colour combinations for both women and men, with a strap made from genuine leather or stainless steel. Erling Persson founded the watch chain Ur&Penn in 1943, with the vision to produce watches and jewellery with the best quality and price. Today Equinox can be found in chosen Ur&Penn stores in Sweden and on http://www.uropenn.com.
