Benefits of
Flexous’ silicon
technology

Silicon’s superior material properties, in combination with the high fabrication tolerances adopted from the semiconductor industry, make it the perfect material for high-performance watch components. When combining this with Flexous’ expertise in flexible mechanism technology, the possibilities of silicon are utilised to the full potential.

MONOLITHIC DESIGN. ULTRA THIN.

Offering new design potential

Our technology can transform several watch parts into a monolithic architecture. The deflection of flexible parts replaces the role of conventional components. This allows for a reduction in thickness and simplification of assembly.

REDUCE FRICTION AND WEAR

No lubrication ensures simplified assembly and less maintenance

Our monolithic silicon parts have little-to-no internal friction and wear, allowing for better overall efficiency, eliminating the need for lubrication between parts, and exhibit no fatigue, making them a part for life and beyond.

REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE

Highly efficient and precise

Combining the benefits of silicon with flexible mechanism technology, the watch can be made more efficient and more precise than ever before. The movement designer can choose whether to make it a thinner, more sleek design, faster, or a movement with a far longer runtime.

MAGNETISM INSENSITIVE

A watch protected from the harmful effects of magnetic fields

In these modern times, magnetic fields are everywhere, making the protection of watches from their influence as relevant as ever. Silicon’s non-magnetic properties make it a billion times less sensitive than steel and around fifty times less sensitive than titanium. Practically, it is as insensitive as air.

LOW & HIGH-VOLUME PRODUCTION

From one-off prototypes to full-scale production

Our method of processing silicon watch parts is adopted from the semi-conductor industry and is suitable for both prototype fabrication and high-volume production.
