The jointly created MEMS watch motors (boxes) and movements are the first ever to utilize the MEMS nano technology thanks to Silmach’s PowerMEMS patented solution. The joint venture will be based, along with SilMach and Fralsen (TIMEX’s movement parts manufacturing facility) in the French micromechanical cluster of Besancon. Merging TIMEX’ 160 years of expertise in watch making with the pioneering skills of SilMach, the joint venture is set to disrupt the watch industry. TIMEX expects to release it’s first MEMS powered watch movement within its 2019 collection. motion, PowerMEMS motors are uniquely positioned to replace the aging magnet based Lavet motors used in analog watches, connected watches and provide countless new exciting applications.
