Spotted a link to this site and was a little intrigued.
Böhm-Stirling motor
Finely crafted Stirling engines turned into classy looking desk top "man-gadgets" with all the dynamic mechanicals we look for in watches... and not ridiculously expensive. The story of the company looks interesting and the little videos of the engines are quite compelling to watch. Seriously tempted .
Or I could just wait for our own Asylum Knight of the Diver (28800bph) to refine and better the concept .

Those are great, a new watch or one of them, decisions, decisions.

Nice. Made me think of Nevil Shute's 'Trustee from the Toolroom'.

Whenever I see something like this I'm forced to repeat this flow chart in my head:
Are you a student? --> Yes --> Do you have anywhere near the level of income required to buy this? --> No
