CST-01: The World's Thinnest Watch by Central Standard Timing
The Kickstarter campaign is over, but you can still pre-order a CST-01 on our site: centralstandardtiming.com The CST-01 is assembled by laminating thin, flexible components into a 0.5mm pocket etched into a single piece of flexible stainless steel. In order to make the watch as thin and minimal as possible, there are no buttons or knobs on the watch itself. Charging and setting the time is done on the included base station, and for those outside the US who prefer a 24 hour time format, this is also user selectable from the base station. The CST-01 weighs less than 5 pennies at 12 grams.
