Cartier ID Two Concept Watch

Cartier reveals the next generation in watch making technology with their ID Two Concept Watch. The ID Two makes incredible advances in energy efficiency with a highly sophisticated, patent-pending system that stores more energy and consumes half as much energy as a conventional mechanical timepiece. All that efficiency allows for an incredible 32 day power reserve.

• stores 30% more energy in the same space (using the barrel with double fiberglass springs)
• consumes 37% less energy from the oscillator alone thanks to the vacuum seal
• contains 500x less air inside the case
• was manufactured to 1 micron (1/1000th of a millimeter) for many components
• took five years of research and development across 135 different engineers
• is the source of six patent applications
• holds 32 day power reserve in a 42mm case
• consumes half as much energy as a whole watch
