Devon Tread 2: good news for Basel

In Basel, in addition to the well-known brands that are common in the watchmaking world, I went looking for a watchmaker that defined uniqueness with its restoration. Under the direction of its founder, Scott Devon, DEVON has gained notoriety in recent years for its incredible creations that challenge watchmaking conventions. The Tread 2 continues to use the same patented technical movement as the previous Tread 1, with the innovative Time Belts © system, nylon straps, reinforced with fiberglass. These tapes are 0.5mm thick and made with a process directly inspired by aircraft cockpit instruments, which show important indicators such as wind speed and fluid level. The belts are mounted on the central frame and are driven by two extremely compact stepper motors. These motors and all other clock functions are controlled by a microprocessor at the core of the clock. This microcomputer is loaded with software developed by DEVON, which manages all the functions of the timepiece, ensuring the accuracy of timekeeping, with an error of only half a second per day.

In order to make the watch functional, DEVON has designed a movement that is neither purely mechanical nor purely electronic, but a hybrid - a masterpiece of high mechanics that combines moving parts, and an artificial intelligence battery that stores energy. system. An alternative to traditional mechanical spring/barrel systems. This innovation means the Tread 2 starts at a relatively affordable price, while still offering decent battery life (up to two weeks on a single charge). As for the Tread 1, when it's time to recharge, simply place the watch on a stand for a few hours on a wireless battery charger that works through an electromagnetic induction system.

Finally, let's look at the main features: 44mm case (however, even thin wrists can be worn without problems), sapphire crystal, water resistance to 10 meters (1 atmosphere), and leather and rubber straps.

Devon works is probably my favorite watch company. While they can no longer claim to have the only fully American-made watch movement (because of RGM), I think the company best embodies the American spirit - big, bold, middle finger to serious European watchmakers. With the exception of the sapphire glass used on the Tread 2 (1 uses polycarbonate), every part of these watches, including the strap, is sourced from the United States. These are thermally compensated quartz pieces, and the time zone is driven by a battery-powered tiny motor. The wireless charging cradle is proprietary (it's kind of bad for travel).

The Tread 2 in the picture is my second one and it was made to order to match the color scheme of my 1E. They are fairly high maintenance watches as the battery and strap require regular servicing, but Devon has absolutely amazing customer support and I can't say enough good things about them. Running them nonstop I have about a week on the 1 and about two weeks on the 2, but I love playing with them and showing them to people who run out of battery.

Due to the curved back, the 2 is very comfortable on my wrist and gets a lot of wrist time. 1 I do find myself having to force myself to wear it a bit (mostly because of the size), but I love having it on those days when I go to commercials or just want to wear something fun.
