They're also (as far as I understand it) not actually continuous motion. They just have much smaller increments of movement than a single second.

- garaetjjte 4y agoIt seems there are mechanisms with fully continuous motion, eg: https://www.grand-seiko.com/global-en/about/movement/springdrive https://www.grand-seiko.com/global-en/about/movement/springd...
- marcosdumay 4y agoIs it "fully continuous" if it has a discret electronic controller correcting it all the time?
- coldtea 4y agoIt's still continuous, as even when fully ticking, it still goes from point a to b passing through all the in between points... well, up to planck length at least... Ticking just makes the motion jerky/abrupt, not discontinuous/discreet...
- Intermernet 4y agoOoh, alright, you win this one, but only on a technicality. I won't mention the fact that liquid crystals are also in a constant state of motion while under power ;-)
- marcosdumay 4y ago> up to planck length at least... Well, we actually do not know that...
