SB56667 155 Posted July 13, 2012 Nanoparticles, you say? "French jewelry and watch maker Cartier has presented their latest concept, the 'ID two'. through five years of research and the development of a new engineering approach, cartier demonstrates the possibilities of revolutionizing mechanical watches by utilizing technology that consumes 50% less energy and stores 30% more energy than a comparable internal movement. the case creates an internal vacuum by extracting 99.8% of air particles, sealed through the reinforcement of gaskets doped with nanoparticles. the use of a vacuum minimizes friction to provide a 32 day power reserve, whereas conventional systems waste 75% of the energy from the air resistance among internal components." http://www.designboo...cept-watch.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graman 2 Posted July 13, 2012 Is that until you extract the crown to alter the time, or is that sealed too? Nice idea...quirky...........expenisve.....not for me thanks Thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graman 2 Posted July 13, 2012 hideous I wasn't going to say that, but Mazz needs to put this one in the hall.....yes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaiser 4 Posted July 13, 2012 Read about this one, the design aside the engineering behind this is astonishing, 32 day power reserve!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
