Did anyone catch this amazing new innovation being worked on by URWERK? The EMC movement is
a "mechanical smart watch movement" that actually monitors it's own performance thanks to an optical
sensor, or digital camera, and shows the results by a specially URWERK designed display, or guage.
The sensor measures three seconds, and then figures whether if it's a plus, or minus reading for each
day. Determining the variance is done when the EMC compares the readout to a 16,000,000 Hz electronic
reference oscillator. In addition, the electonic part of the EMC is actually powered by a hand-cranked
generator. A special balance wheel made of ARCAP which is made up of copper, and nickel, is powered
by a system of two barrels, vertically mounted on one single shaft for constant power, as well as an 80
hour power reserve.
Honestly don't understand much at all here,
but here are some pics, and links to help out.
