What do you call those who experience the syndrome of obsession for the exotic timepieces? Neither do I!
But if there existed one, it would be so apt for this classy timepiece. Here we discuss an imposing timepiece frame that is 53.3mm by 47mm by 19mm. It has been cast out of 316L, surgical-grade stainless steel, the hardest and most durable steel available presently.
It's back panel boasts of DLC black coated steel & flaunts some of the most formidable materials to be ever used in the history of watchmaking.

How often do you perceive a moving shaft across the screen dotted with randomly running minute parts, moving conveyor belts & all of them together encrusted in a case? Not ordinarily!
The little wonder here talks exactly the same.

This quintessential of the super intricate mechanism is fondly called Devon. Devon Tread 1!
Taking a giant leap en route to the journey of traditional watchmaking, Devon exhibits this awe-inspiring blend of horology & engineering.
It happens to be the debut timepiece of their design lab headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Indeed a subtle display of aesthetically advanced components.
If you assumed that Devon boasts of Geneva made watch parts, you are goddamn wrong coz the suppliers of Devon are from the aero industry directly.
Boeing 747's technology inspire its rock-solid composition. Having heard that, you must know that Devon watches use the same belt in avionics package as the one used in the cockpit of Boeing 747 which is used to indicate vital measurements such as air speed and fluid levels.
A crystal shield made up of scratch resistant polycarbonate cover giving it the formidability of a bullet proof glass. Overall you can say that the sophistication of all the materials comprising the timepiece makes it a perfect Objet D'obsession.
History backs the fact that Devon Tread 1 was a further incarnation of the exclusive Devon GTX Super car. A car with the unique blend of luxury with American muscle.
Success with it propelled Devon to come up with this insane watch with interwoven time belts also known as Tread 1.
The uniqueness of the timepiece lies in its unusual methodology pushing the limits of traditional watchmaking. Belts flash the numbers across the rectangular screen.

Devon Tread 1 is powered by four extremely compact micro step motors that move the internal 2-micron thin belts that spin inside the case to display the time. Powered by a lithium polymer rechargeable cell that is charged by wireless induction. The belts run the entire system that keeps in sync with an optical technology. Put them in tandem & you have one of the most technically advanced timepieces ever made. Nominated in the category of Design and Concept Watch at Gran Prix d' Horlogerie de Geneve, Devon is the first American watch brand ever to receive this laudable recognition.
Propelled by the flimsy time belts that show hours, minutes & seconds separately in a distinguished way that's never been seen before, Devon Tread 1 casts its significant stature by taking the traditional watchmaking to an unprecedented level.
The moving belts cast an illusionary effect by the virtue of their haphazard movement, which hints if the parts of the watch were floating in the case.
Fiberglass-reinforced nylon allows for belts that are only 2/1,000 of an inch thick while being high and stable enough to ensure continuous accuracy.
At the heart of the Tread 1 is an onboard microprocessor, essentially a tiny computer, that controls all of the watch’s functions.
It gathers data from a temperature-compensated crystal and a proprietary optical recognition system, which continuously monitors and verifies the position of the Time Belts thereby ensuring steadfast accuracy – in fact, the Tread 1 is deadly accurate to within one-half second per day.

The belt assemblies mounted on a central chassis allows for the perfect clearance of moving parts and also creates an illusion that makes the parts visibly float within the case.
Lubricant-free ruby bearings are applied at the friction points of the movement, a thoughtful engineering detail that precludes the need for lubrication and significantly reduces required maintenance. Once fully charged, the robust lithium-polymer rechargeable cell runs for up to two weeks.
You don't need charging cables to complete the formality. Devon can reenergize itself without wires, via a charging tower in only a few hours.

DEVON started with the production of the Tread 1 in late 2010 with four variations.
It consists of different combinations of exposed stainless steel and titanium-colored DLC-coated parts but has set a benchmark in the sphere of watchmaking that remains a dream goal for most of the adept watchmakers across the globe.
