Super cool tech and materials!

The caseback is held on by negative pressure alone... because the movement is in a vacuum

That's pretty innovative.

As technology for the sake of it, fine,but I am trying to understand what useful energy is being saved. Doubtless the manufacturing process consumed infinitely more energy than any particular saving of energy. Somehow the greenies are unlikely to applaud

They mean energy in the power reserve, which theyve extended to 32 days!

Not keen on the design, but a cool complication nonetheless.

Until you catch it on something, chip the crystal without noticing, in rushes the air and the first time you see anything is amiss is when you strap it to your wrist and notice the case back is missing
