Belt-drive watch

Tag Heuer have released a concept belt-drive watch called the V4 -- you have to see the video to believe it.

Powered by a oscillating linear weight that falls back and forth within the central shaft - transmitting the energy to the four ball bearing barrels. All part of the mechanical revolution in watchmaking where everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel - but this time with belts.
