Hi there,

no, it is the revival of the pig's bristles in the first verge watches.

Hi there,

Setting up the manufacturing fab is multi-bling-$ investment...

This would not make me worry. It is not the anisotropical etching what makes a semiconductor fab expensive. Some plastic jars and a simple photo equipment would do for watchmakers to reproduce parts. And if the technology will actually establish, some specialists may buy a photo plotter, and do such jobs for tiny money. I already used photo-lithography to reproduce complicated repeater parts, because I found it boring to saw and file them from scratch, and the equipment of my tiny electronics lab is by far no multi-million sink.
