The design of the Cesium 133 provides the watch with its own and very unique atomic clock to keep a track of time and make it amazingly accurate. Bathys Hawaii founder Dr. John Patterson, who created the watch with engineer George Talbot, explain a little more about the construction of the Cesium 133 watch.
“Within a single chip there is a laser, a heater, a sealed cavity of cesium gas, a microwave filter and a photodiode detector,”-“Using the same principle of counting hyperfine lines of excited cesium 133 atoms used by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), our watch is able to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy; on the order of one second per thousand years.”
For more information on the new Cesium 133 jump over to the Bathys Hawaii website for details and toplace a pre-order for the new Cesium 133 for delivery once it becomes available.
