It's telling that the impressive appearance (and price) contrasts to the fact that this can't be a serious timekeeper - the balance is too small.

[PatientZeroThree]

The specs are in the video description section. But you are right; more flash than function.

[foxysham]

[bciter]

i saw that there and filmed it too...amazing

I don't think that the balance wheel is too small...it's not much smaller than the ones used in most standard movements.

Since watches are not popular because of digital cell phones, i wonder can those watch companies make free energy devices because their expertise on "escapements" ?

[einstein72]

The invention of another escapement does not render an older one useless. Just different. Like different machines. Some may be better, some may not.

I dont think Patek's silicon escape wheel is all that special. I don't think the co-axial is either.

The last true innovative mechanical watchmaker was Beguet anyway.

The greatest watch in the world

Its to bad that the creator of the "Co-Axial" escapment, Dr. Daniels, could in no way have forseen that his remarkable achivement (intellectual overkill in my mind), would in a few years, be rendered redundant and mabey, from a pragmatic standpoint, usless with Patek's introduction of the silicon escape wheel.
