New MEMS Tech Lets Watches Run For Over A Decade On A Single Battery

Co-CEO's of Silmach , Pierre-Francois Louvigne and Jean-Baptiste Carnet , talk about their new MEMS technology with IEEE Spectrum editor Glenn Zorpette . The tech has been used to create the first major upgrade to the movement of quartz watches in decades, a power efficient motor that is 50 percent smaller, allows fluid forward-and-back motion of the hand, and requires so little power a watch can run for over a decade before it needs a new battery. Louvigne talk about their new hybrid watch, which combine smartwatch electronics with analog faces, and partnerships with manufacturers such as Timex.
