Apple will hold an event March 9 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco where it is expected to launch the Apple Watch.
The media alert, featuring the headline “Spring Forward,” hints broadly that this is all about timepieces. Apple has said its first wearable device will be available in April.
Whether the timepiece will be a hit is anyone’s guess, but Apple has already shown it has impeccable timing.
The event’s announcement comes as the entire mobile industry gears up for next week’s Mobile World Congress, with Apple once again ensuring it will be the talk of the show even without setting foot in Barcelona.
Until then, this video will be the closest President Obama and others will get to the actual watch.
This post has been updated to correct the location of the event.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
