This Watch Tells Time Faster?
TAG Heuer >TAG Heuer's Monaco V4 Concept Watch is belt-driven. Freakin' cool.
Here's a snippet of the description:
V4: An architecture inspired by car engines
The movement's energy is provided by four barrels aligned in a 2-by-2 series and linked by a differential with a V-shaped bridge. Each barrel gives a force of 375 grams for a total of 1.5 kilos. The barrels are mounted in a V (angles at 15° with respect to the dial) and two constant velocity joints, also borrowed from the automobile world, transmit their energy to the movement. The barrel bridges are in sapphire, allowing the movement to be visible from below. It is this unique design component that gives the Monaco its automotive-sounding name: V4.
