the sound barrier in watching that Tizen obviously our aerospace background and our engineering and advanced design we have a system of four belts that are driven by four motors and those four motors are controlled by a central microcontroller which is essentially a little main computer when you look at this watch and you see these belts they're just sliding past each other and you you just can't believe what's going on in here and you know it gives you the sensation of of what's going on in an engine it's a kinetic sculpture so all of a sudden the watch becomes alive and it has a personality and it has an amazing attraction when people see the motion and most watches movements have been invented two three hundred years ago there's really not a lot of new movements that are even developed or even attempted so a lot of times you just see aesthetics around mechanical movements where as we invented a movement it's just not a design it's an engineering feat not much has changed since the sundial people tell time on a system that's comprised of a face and hands we have made a significant change in how people think of telling time especially when it's on your wrist so you have analog watches or clocks and then you have digital watches in the box and ours is a hybrid of the two and because of that it's something that people have really responded to it's something that is really different it's one would say revolutionary you go to school and you learn all of these concepts you learn all kinds of physics and you learn you know friction of surfaces and all kinds of different concepts you're not quite sure what you're going to use later in life and in some cases you don't use those concepts at all you're just kind of moving along with the same concept and and producing the same thing well with this watch I really had to pull out a lot of these ideas and a lot of these concepts and had to write down equations and you know solve different equations for for the friction of components and a lot of testing we have a electric drive quartz movement which is accurate to within one half second per day and we've combined that with a intensely mechanical movement that moves the belts around its robust its reliable and it's mesmerizing you
