UPDATE: This timepiece was worn by David Tennant in the 2019 BBC miniseries show Good Omens. We’re talking major friction of components. The engine is an electric drive quartz movement combined with a mechanical system that moves the belts. They invented the Tread 1 which is a crazy cool timepiece that tells time based on system of belts. VISIT DEVONWORKS.DEVON Works is a USA based watch company. We consult with experts in a variety of fields in order to build new innovations and keep pushing boundaries.” He demands that his team of artists, inventors and designers work together to deliver technological breakthroughs and fresh, modern, never-seen-it-before designs. Whether working on a car, motorcycle or watch, Scott Devon’s challenge to his design team is both simple and daunting: “We seek to create a design that redefines the category. The Tread 1 is the first in a portfolio of products, including motorcycles, fashion and fragrance, that Devon Works will introduce this year.
Devon Works began with the design of the exclusive Devon GTX, which combined ultimate luxury with American muscle and set the one-lap record at Laguna Seca. Led by founder Scott Devon and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Devon Works, LLC is a design lab dedicated to creating innovative luxury products. The box of the Thread 1 features integrated wireless technology, meaning there are no chords required. “A rechargeable battery for a watch” you ask? Indeed, but not just any rechargeable battery. – Fiber-reinforced glass nylon allows for belts that are only 2/1,000 of an inch thick while being strong and stable enough to ensure continuous accuracy – The belt assemblies are mounted on a central chassis, which allows for the perfect clearance of the moving parts and also creates the illusion that the parts are floating within the case To ensure temporal accuracy, a proprietary optical recognition system monitors each belt position at all times.
DEVON TIMEPIECE SERIES
– The series of belts expresses hours and minutes in exacting motion, while the seconds indicator runs in continuous motion. – The Tread 1 is powered by a lithium polymer rechargeable cell that will run for up to two weeks on a single charge – The five-piece case design is made from high-grade staineless steel produced in five elements through advanced CNC construction – A temperature-compensated crystal provides data to the onboard microprocessor that drives four microstep motors – The lubricant-free pulley system moves freely thanks to the integration of jeweled bearings
– The belt assemblies are mounted on a central chassis, which allows for the perfect clearance of the moving parts and also creates the illusion that the parts are floating within the case. – Four extremely compact microstep motors drive the movement of the four belts with efficiency, exacting power an steadfast accuracy Presentation, one of the executives spotted the watch and remarked: “Forget the car, you should make the watch!” In search of the proper “look and feel” for a future concept car, Mr Wilbur drafted the Tread 1. In the automotive industry, Mr Wilbur explains, it is common practice to use unrelated products as inspirational imagery to communicate the styling and emotional intent of an automotive project.
