The world’s thinnest mechanical wristwatch may have only 167 parts, compared to the 269-part tourbillons and 407-part minute repeaters his colleagues contend with, but the fact of the matter is that ultra-thin watches featuring nothing more than the hours and minutes qualify as extreme complications in their own right… More here.
It is hard to believe that a 2mm thin mechanical watch is possible, but it is. Still makes little sense to me though.
It’s just a demonstration of capability. Pretty amazing!
It is amazing. Would just like to see such genius used for more practical solutions. And I can’t afford it so I am jealous😁
Ah, I get that. I’m sure nanotechnology could be used Too make smaller mechanical things. This is probably right at the limit of old-world craftsmanship.
Yep, nanotechnology would ruin what it is though
There’s an idea. How about a biological watch that uses nanotechnology!?
