9 05. Market Manufacturers In response to the increasing competition in the smart objects industry, companies and renowned brands must constantly develop and learn new skills : software development, IT security, data collection and analysis, etc. CT BAND works directly with watch manufacturers in order to integrate our technology into their silicone or leather straps, therefore offering them a competitive answer to functions offered by smart watches and wearable technology. Online CT BAND is available online in our E-shop It will soon be launched on larger market places like Amazon, E-bay, Price Minister etc. Distributors CT BAND will soon be available in supermarkets, sports retailers and high-tech shops (Decathlon, Fnac, Ubaldi, Walmart, Best Buy etc.). It will also be sold in watch shops (franchise and independent) with a consistently evolving product line in terms of quality, functionality and color choices. The strap will be able to easily integrate with any watch face by a specialist, on the spot. Today, most watches are distributed with a «Sale & Forget» mentality in which manufacturers do not maintain relationships with their clients. This all changes with CT BAND! Each CT BAND is loaded with a number of applications and tools customized for brand watch manufacturers, allowing them to develop stronger relationships with their customers. Communication is done simply through the wrist screen and via the mobile application (messages, alerts, pictures...): Presentation of new products, new ranges and brand accessories New applications and updates Special offers and private sales Customer service Dedicated applications or with brand partners Event invitations (sports, cultural, etc.,...) Towards a new global market The smartwatch market is estimated at nearly 20 million units sold in 2016 and is expected to reach 50 million units by 2020 (source: IDC). However, the major stakeholders of this market struggle to fully meet their users expectations. In fact, a watch as a statutory and personal object, is not compatible with the standardized smartwatch design currently on the market. CT BAND opens the doors to a new global market by combining traditional mechanical watchmaking and connectivity! Compared to traditional smartwatches, it offers a wider range of services, without being subject to a standardized and rather common design. Each year, 1.2 billion of watches are sold around the world and CT Band is compatible with 90% of them. 9
