My humble opinion on the subject

The technological journey has one common denominator, miniaturization.
IMHO the technology contained in an iwatch is on its own journey as stated above.
As this technology evolves it will be contained in ever smaller sizes so while there will be an impact on
the swiss watchmaking industry without a doubt, I believe it's only temporary in nature.
Consider also if someone has to carry an iPhone to use an iwatch, which screen will u use to face time, the watch or the phone.
If u want to type something out like a message, or take a picture or anything that can be done with an iPhone , I doubt one will
use an iwatch instead since both devices will be carried together.
Any other applications that he iPhone is not capable of such as medical or otherwise will be miniaturized to a bracelet or ring.
The apple watch will be the new swatch, but it will not replace a horological piece with an engraved or enamel dial...
It won't even come close.
It's my sincere belief that it actually helps to develop the swiss watch industry, not kill it.
All the best
