The watch that runs on Electrostatic Energy - Accutron Spaceview 2020

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

One of the most interesting watches I've seen lately. I hope they continue to scale it down in size as well.

[@robbbbery]

Super coolb watch, and your fantastic macro work REALLY shines in this vid!

[@Z-S-H]

This tech is awesome I just wish the watches were not so big or expensive but it is very cool

Nice to see some alt watch movements.

Great video as always... what strap size is that? If a standard size do you think a single pass Nato will fit it?

[@henyujurai3907]

Ever scene, I've see this watch I wanted to get it

[@backpackerx]

Do you know power reserve and accuracy?

[@Stona999]

Not sure what the possibility of servicing one of these would be, or if it's needed, but the fact that they only honor the warranty if you're the original buyer tells me they have zero faith in their products. On their website it says "don not open the caseback under any circumstances". Wow

[@reaverofcheesecake4073]

This is because the watch must be serviced in a "clean room" as any electrostatic charge or dust will seriously impact the watch.

[@fossilimprint2954]

I remember when the Accutron "sweep" was the most prominent feature of this watch. Prices are insane, so probably will never get one.

Kind of gimmicky; get that its not a quartz or mehc. automatic. But what drives the 'electrodes' that power the hands and thus the watch?

[@tonyl7000]

Just about every watch is a gimmick 😅. We could just use our phones.

The turbines generate electricity.

@@tonyl7000 my sundil does it all :D cheers!

[@culturehorse]

@@TalonTSI95 ty vm but what runs the turbines, arm movt? no battery right?

[@TalonTSI95]

@@culturehorse arm movement spins the generator, the electricity generated is stored in some kind of "storage". The stored electricity runs the turbine motor.
