Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced that Corning® Gorilla® Glass has been chosen by Pebble as the cover glass for the newly launched Pebble Steel smartwatch.

Corning Gorilla Glass, well-known for providing durability and scratch resistance in smartphone, slate and laptop applications, is now bringing those features to the smartwatch category. Compared with sapphire crystal, Corning Gorilla Glass is lighter weight, requires significantly less energy to produce, and transmits more light for better optical clarity.

“Pebble delivers a differentiated experience built around use in real life,” said Eric Migicovsky, founder and chief executive officer of Pebble, “We designed our new watch with Corning Gorilla Glass because it helps us deliver on this promise. Gorilla Glass provides the ideal combination of durability, aesthetic appeal and optical clarity for this application.”

“Corning is pleased to work with Pebble to deliver the benefits of Gorilla Glass to the Pebble Steel smartwatch,” said James R. Steiner, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Specialty Materials, “We look forward to continued collaboration with Pebble to deliver the latest in cover glass innovation to their innovative consumer products.”

The Pebble Steel is now available for pre-order from getpebble.com.

Corning will display the new Pebble Steel in booth #11612 located in Central Hall at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
