The
CST-01 watch, made by the Chicago-based firm Central Standard Timing,
is thinner than a credit card - just 0.8mm thick - and shows the time
on an electronic ink display; the world's thinnest watch 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, setting the world record for the thinnest watch.
According
to Central Standard Timing, the patent-pending CST-01 is assembled by
laminating thin, flexible components into a 0.5mm pocket etched into a
single piece of flexible stainless steel.
This is different from traditional digital watches, which typically use the same chassis used for analog watches.
The CST-01 also uses an embedded Thinergy Micro-Energy Cell that
charges in 10 minutes from an external dock and has a lifetime of 15
years. All CST-01 watches are planned to be assembled in the USA.
The battery can be recharged 10,000 times and each charge will last about 30 days.
