OT: Using electrostatic motors for a watch movement

I know it's not strictly audio gang, but this is cool. Check out the video clip about half way down the page:

Also, it' snot for sale, so you can't claim this is a commercial post. :)

Best,

Although kind of hate posting photo's. You are only ever really able to realize the awesomeness of Grand Seiko when you wear one on your wrist.
