Devon Watches: Time Design Outside of the Box

Mar 08, 2011

If you’re looking for the timepiece of the future, Devon watches may be just what you’re looking for. Launching in 2010, Devon had the daunting goal of creating developing a watch design never before seen, let alone attempted. The Devon Tread 1 watch lives up to that challenge and more.

The supremely unique thing about the Tread 1 is that it relies on a system of multiple interwoven belts on an exposed mechanism that display the time. Scott Devon, founder of the brand, was inspired to develop this design after he saw graffiti on the exposed primary belts of motorcycles. The belts used for the Devon watches are from a US supplier that has been using the same belts in avionics. This particular type of fiber-reinforced glass nylon belt was chosen for its ability to respond well to extreme temperatures as well as its resistance to stretching and wear. The belt assemblies run on a central chassis, which gives the illusion that the watch parts are floating within the stainless steel case and are run using compact microstep motors. Also, almost all of the Tread 1 was developed and manufactured in the US, including parts.

The Tread 1 watch runs on a lithium polymer cell battery that runs for two weeks at a time on a single charge. The anti-reflective treated crystal is made of polycarbonate, the same stuff used for bullet-proof glass. The pulley-system moves using jeweled bearings at friction points and thus requires no lubrication.
