OT: Using electrostatic motors for a watch movement


I know it's not strictly audio gang, but this is cool. Check out the video clip about half way down the page:

Also, it' snot for sale, so you can't claim this is a commercial post. :)

Hi @ebm
I’m sad to see you still can’t find your joy, and seem to be making fun of me being more discerning and less price conscious than many here. Sure, let’s go.


There isn’t a Rolex after 1975 worth wearing (unless given to you as a gift, in which case it is sentimental), but you can sure spend a lot of money on them. My $200 Russian made automatic is more interesting, and my Zenith and Chopard have better movements and look better on the wrist.

Hope you find a way to contribute to Audiogon, or basically anywhere with anyone, which brings you joy and brings joy to those around you.

Best,

Erik
Damn, I don't know why I always call the Seiko movement a "Swing Drive" instead of a "Spring Drive."

:D
