The point is, in order to reduce lubrication, more components will be produced in silicon or different materials and maybe it will be possible to reach higher beats per hour, increasing the accuracy of the movements.

I see the Swatch Group ETA restriction as a positive thing because it made brands get into work again. The idea of in-house movements is completely valid and with competition, they don't need to charge customers more because of that. Who doesn't feel much better knowing your watch has a unique movement ? It gives the idea of luxury, status without being necessary expensive.

totally agree , very well put Luiz. This could be very exciting for the future of watchmaking ! :D :thumbup:
Totally agree too, I welcome any new innovative movement regardless from where it originates, thus keeping the craft of watchmaker alive. :D
