Smart, an automotive brand of Daimler AG, is a manufacturer of microcars produced in Hambach, France. It is marketed as the "smart" in all lower-case, with the Smart brand logo, as of 2010, denoting a letter "c" for "compact" and an arrow for "forward thinking".
Originally founded as a joint-venture between Swatch and Daimler-Benz, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler-Benz in 1998. The company expanded its lineup to include a sports car and supermini.
In the late 1980s SMH (makers of the Swatch brand of watches)began developing an idea for a new car using the same type of manufacturing strategies and personalization features used to popularize Swatch watches. They believed that the automotive industry had ignored a sector of potential customers who wanted a small and stylish city car. This idea soon became known as the "Swatchmobile".
While design of the car was proceeding SMH feared existing manufacturers would feel threatened by the Swatchmobile, thus rather than directly competing they preferred to cooperate with another company in the automotive industry. This would also relieve SMH of the cost burden in setting up a distribution network. SMH approached several automotive manufacturers and on July 3, 1991 he reached an agreement with Volkswagen to share development of the new project and the 'smart' car was born.
