Paul's Time Sink

I just saw this Tag Heuer Monoco V4 watch mentioned in the latest Popular Science. This is a beautiful watch is driven by an interesting mechanism. It uses 13 half-millimeter-wide synthetic belts. They drive metal wheels that rotate on microball races. The watch is powered as you move your wrist. It looks like it will keep a charge for up to 50 hours when the watch is not being worn.
