If you don't know what I'm talking about, take a look at these...
As you can see, they are made up of belt which move to change the time display. I think this is ingenious, and the website describes them as "The reinvention of the watch. The Devon Tread 1 features a system of interwoven Time Belts™" - so good they trademarked and patented it - "the Tread 1 is the must-have timepiece for the watch enthusiast with a passion for innovation and ingenuity".
There are a number of different versions of the Tread 1 and the Tread 2, and for me it's hard to choose a favourite, I just love the idea of this kind of mechanical watch.
So it's been on my mind to create one (at least!) in WatchMaker for some time. But I've definitely been beaten to it! There are a number of them on FaceRepo already, which is a good thing.
My favourite at the moment is definitely the Devon Steampunk Tribute (Round) by eXntrc...
One of the things I really love about this version is that the numbers actually slide along the belt in a very realistic way, unlike some of the other watches where the number just change, but without any movement. I'd definitely recommend downloading it!
And maybe I'll get round to creating a variant of my own some day soon...
