It's beautiful. Even quartz watches that thin are rare.

There is something inspiring about the combination of practicality and impracticality in a project like that. I'd like to see the philosophy scaled up. Nobody has ever built a practical mechanical computer. What could a modern clockwork engineer accomplish?
