Forecast the Weather With This Fancy Mechanical Watch

Breva-watch-a

Weather apps, shmeather apps: leave the smartphone in your pocket. You're going to have watch envy when you see what's being claimed as the world's first mechanical wristwatch that can measure pressure and altitude.

Though high-tech smart watches are all the rage these days, the Breva Génie 01 features a mechanical barometer and altimeter, as explained in the video above. So not only can you tell the time with style, you can forecast the weather.

The mechanical watch's proprietary pressure chamber measures altitude and local pressure with specialized meters for each. The Génie 01 is water-resistant up to about 100 feet (30 meters).
