    Montblanc’s Summit 2 is a very smart watch. As well as the
    timeless design you expect from the storied brand, it’s got one
    of the most future-facing assistant interfaces available on the
    wrist, with everything from a personal virtual running coach to
    top-of-the-range battery life and processing power, alongside
    calendar notifications, maps and jet-lag-crushing travel tips.

    context of power and violence
