Miniaturization ?
Hi Mostel,
I am in agreement on size. Seeing as we have seen great advances in size of batteries and miniaturization of motors in the last few years, would you consider one if the overall size was much more manageable? I probably would, but not at this point.

Some photos of the first Devon Works Tread 1 to be delivered!
This is the first Devon Works Tread 1 to be delivered anywhere in the world. The lucky owner of this electronic, mechanically driven belt display watch is in Singapore. I also met the enthusiastic team behind the product, more on this machine soon. - SJX...
Battery is inside
1-2 week power reserve, 2 year optimal lifespan. Battery is an off the shelf, but niche, type of battery. - SJX...
Thanks SJX
But what is the relevance of the power reserve? The battery only lasts 2 weeks or there's a spring drive type barrel?
Yesterday in Singapore. Here's another.
Tread 1 with MB&F HM4. They look appropriate side by side, as machines, despite the vast disparity in price (and finishing). One is a refined machine, the other is raw and industrial. - SJX...
SJX...would you think this watch
will fit me and my wrist? I know it's big but sometime when a watch is 'progressive' looking , big is ok Do you personally like the watch? *CL
It sits well and I like it
some mutual friends of ours have or will get the watch and I am hoping to borrow it for a test drive. It is a piece of industrial machinery that tells the time; it is not fine watchmaking. Here it is on my wrist. It sits well on the wrist thanks for the s...
Here is my wristshot
taken of a prototype about two months ago. My wrist is 7 1/2 inches around. It's more massive than I am used to, but wearable so long as I don't need to fit it under a shirtsleeve. Bill...
Wow. It's my dream to ...
It's my dream to one day be sitting in a restaurant and notice that the diners at the table next to me are wearing Gyrotourbillons and MBF's. Dream watches. Really. [And the Devon Tread's interesting too!] A
I think it is actually quite cool with a certain" back
to the Future" look to it. It would be nice to see the back, even if it is closed, just to get the full view. Thanks for the scoop! Tim
tried it on yesterday...
looked pretty silly on my puny wrist. also, i seem to have misplaced that 15 grand i thought i had lying around somewhere. all in all, a really cool watch though. high hopes for the tread 2...
+1
im looking forward for tread two as im not interested in a second belt ... and for sure they will be using what they learnt from the current tread. Faisal
Thanks for SJX
and interesting watch... looking forward for the next tread though. Faisal
Instead of functions
I m thinking, perhaps can have a spare belt to roll out personalized messages, like "you are a stud" or whatever...perhaps even biblical quotes
The proportions
are not that of a wristwatch... they are that of a toy to be held in the hand or placed on a shelf. The novelty of the machine is fun. The idea of wearing it on the wrist--rather than amusing oneself with this toy now and again--requires a level of denial...
