Tom, I think you misunderstood the post. I was not peddling a watch, but quoting an e-mail, containing the technical aspects of, or the horological aspects of, the new watch itself, or the new movement they're using to tell time, and what they did. Maybe I should have started the quote at "This creation", and eneded it at "rotation in 30 seconds", and not commented about it afterward. I would actually think this would be closer to OT than about anything, especially the new horology aspect, but OK.
