Ronald, The Tread 1 has large pulleys and huge belts. Turning these takes piles of power and torque, especially the seconds belt which is always clicking away. The only way to do that mechanically is to hire someone to sit on your lap and wind the watch every 3 - 5 minutes for you. In the interest o
Alex - this is an electro-mechanical timepiece, not a quartz watch. That aside, there were no compromises made on this one. The watch was never meant to be mechanical. The idea was to use the most modern technology to create the most pure vision of the original concept...not to repeat what others ha

We did consider some of these options and who knows what the future holds... But for now, as our first piece, we wanted to keep true to the purity of the concept and maintain a balance between physical mechanics and electronic technology. Interacting with the watch - turning the crown and watching t
