Would love to get one. Would love to get one for almost 3kEUR? Ooof, I don't think so.

Devices that have some physicality to it are always super cool (flip dots). That also makes them very expensive. Super happy to see products like these though.

There's a weird scale thing. Lots of moving parts in a mechanical display? Expensive. Lots of microscopic parts that can only be assembled in a clean room by machines in special locations? Cheap. I guess it's only economy of scale that makes the difference, but still mind blowing.
