Devon Works Tread 1 High Tech Watch
Posted By: Whollys Staff on April 20th, 2010 Filed Under: Technology
The Devon Works Trend 1 Watch ($15,000) is super high tech and might be the only watch you’ll see that comes bulletproof. The watch features a motor and belt-drive mechanism and a rechargeable battery that can be recharged up wirelessly.
The movement of the Tread 1 is a mesmerizing display of Devonʼs patented interwoven system of time belts. This series of belts expresses hours and minutes in exacting motion, while the seconds indicator runs in continuous motion. To ensure temporal accuracy, a proprietary optical recognition system monitors each belt position at all times. The belt assemblies are mounted on a central chassis, which allows for the perfect clearance of the moving parts and also creates the illusion that the parts are floating within the case.
