I was one of the first 100 odd backers for this project and just missed out on getting it for my wife as a Christmas present! Still she love hers and in the flesh it's a well made and very light watch. The great thing is that it only has the crown and caseback to allow egress of moisture, so she cleans it with a tooth brush whenever it gets dirty   |

I'm curious to understand how the "ball bearing" hour an minute indicators are held in the appropriate locations to tell the time accuratley? |

I did read that . . . my last post was trying to convey that I knew that there are magnets in the watch's works but was a bit surprised as magnets and movements usually don't do well together. |

"These two ball bearings are connected, with magnets, to a watch movement beneath the watch face.The magnets make it so that even if the ball bearings are moved when touched, they spring back to the correct time with a gentle shake of your wrist" I did read that . . . my last post was trying to convey that I knew that there are magnets in the watch's works but was a bit surprised as magnets and movements usually don't do well together. Sorry, damn internet and there wasn't a emotive-com that suited  |
