Pininfarina has teamed up with Christophe & Co. to created a high-tech bracelet called Armills.

“The Pininfarina dedication to excellence in design and craftsmanship is reflected in the Christophe & Co Armills. Collaborating in the creation of such a timeless object d’art and technological marvel is a continuation of 85 year legacy of innovation,” Paolo Pininfarina, chairman of Pininfarina group, said.

The tech packed into this bracelet includes automated venue access, one touch valet service, and secure transactions. The battery is powered by a kinetic energy generation system that allows the bracelet to run for one year between charges.

‘I founded Christophe & Co. to create a universal symbol of victory for those extraordinary individuals who not only achieve greatness in their own right, but inspire it in others,” Aleksander Bernhard, founder of Christophe & Co., said.

On the luxury end, all this tech is encased in a carbon fiber and 18K gold frame with diamonds encrusted into the the bracelet.

The bracelet has a price tag of $150,000.
