Kicksarter MECEXP (MS1001)
This is the first post about watches on Kickstarter.
I start with this piece basically because it caught my attention.
They offer a clock operated by CNC (Computer Numerical Controls) motors.
Here are some of the specifications (if it is necessary to be more precise, let me know so I can update the post).
MOVEMENT: Own (replaces the mainspring with a CNC motor driving combined with a digital calibration and time tracking system).
DIAL: In my understanding they are two endless screws that move the hands in both the hours and the minutes.
GLASS: Sapphire crystal
CASE: The two options are made of 316L steel, one with black PVD coating and the other silver (I understand that without coating).
WATCH SIZE: Diameter: 48mm. Width: 38mm. Thickness: 14.5mm.
STRAP SIZE: Nylon strap for 14-23cm wrist.
LUG WIDTH: 22mm.
WATERPROOF: 5ATM.
And the most important thing:
PRICE: US$189.

Thanks in advance for you help crunchers!
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
Interesting but not something I would wear, too bulky for me.
Creative, but not my style.
It's not my style either. However, if everything they say is true, the proposal is still interesting.
I am too lazy too look very hard into this. I'm very puzzled why the pointers lack the bright green coloration used elsewhere. Isn't that a point that should be highlighted?? The LED back light looks to illuminate but not make the time readable at all.
It looks like
This is set with magnets from the back like an old Hamilton Pulsar?
These leadscrews must do their version of flyback when they reach end of travel at 12 hours and one hour, respectively, and do a rapid traverse rewind. The whole thing seems to be controlled by a real timekeeping source so this imparts no additional accuracy issues.
