Sony seems to be timing the launch of a new smartwatch for next week. A series of tweets posted by the company’s Xperia account have laid a trail of breadcrumbs pointing to the possible debut of a new watch at the Mobile Asia Expo 2013 trade show, which runs from June 26 to 28. The latest tweet, posted Friday, offers the most obvious clue, saying “Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock” and displaying a photo of Sony’s current smartwatch, which launched in April 2012. A previous tweet posted an image of a survey claiming that one-third of smartphone owners want a smartwatch. Another tweet touted that Sony launched the first “smart” watch in 2007. And still another said: “Wearable tech is in our DNA. Remember WALKMAN, now…?” All of the tweets carry hashtags of #itstime and #MAE13 (which stands for Mobile Asia Expo 2013).
