I have an account with no friends and that is an admin of one page, which I buy ads for. It’s not my real name, but obviously has my real CC info in there.

Interestingly, a friend showed me his contact list entry for me (I believe created through a 3rd party OSX app), and in the Facebook field it had the name used on the admin/ads account I have. Given I don’t use my real email address on the Facebook account I am amazed (but not particularly surprised) that the connection was made.

This movement is the output of a combined R&D lab for LVMH watch brands (Tag, Zenith, Hublot, Bulgari). So the movement will likely to be rolled out to watches by all of those brands.

This video may help, as you get to see the movement in action: https://youtu.be/xWh0p9Irznw

It doesn’t clearly show the mainspring, however at around 10:45 you can see the small gear spinning. That is being driven by the mainspring, and if you removed the escapement it would spin super quick until the mainspring was unwound.

It’s the constant rocking back and forth of the regulator that limits the speed that small gear (called the escape wheel) can rotate, therefore limiting how quickly the mainspring releases it’s energy.

Very nicely standing on the shoulders of Brian Eno's Generative Music ideas, his Bloom app in particular[1].
