    A smarter watch - Montblanc's new smart watch is better than its first in many ways.

    Housed within its 42mm steel or titanium case is the Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset made by US telecommunication giant Qualcomm, making Summit 2 the first luxury smartwatch to use this new generation smartphone platform. The latest Wear OS by Google powers the watch with iOS and Android smartphones, providing better performance, longer battery life and a weeklong time-only mode.
