The world’s thinnest watch

View(s):

The world’s thinnest watch – just 0.8mm thick – has been designed using a single piece of bendy stainless steel. The CST-01 watch is thinner than a credit card and shows the time on an electronic ink display. This E ink design uses the same technology as the screen on the Kindle e-reader.

It has a 0.5mm flexible electronic component built-in and a Thinergy Micro-Energy Cell battery that can be charged in 10 minutes and has a lifetime of 15 years.  This micro energy cell can be recharged 10,000 times. This battery’s charge then lasts for a month before needing to be recharged.

The CST-01 is powered by an energy-efficient Seiko Epson System on a Chip (SoC). To make the watch ultra-thin it doesn’t have any knobs or buttons. ‘All aspects of design and engineering were carefully considered for the CST-01′s unique functional and aesthetic benefits, said Vondle.

‘The CST-01 is the most minimal expression of a timepiece. ‘It’s ‘time’ embedded in a band,’ added co-founder and IDEO Labs colleague Jerry O’Leary.
