Makerwatch SSG

In order to demonstrate the feasibility of a real SSG product, and to have something to show off at TED Global in 2010, an SSG watch was created based on Bre Pettis's Makerbot Watch guts. Modifications to the firmware allowed for easier control of the watch itself, and playing of the Mission Impossible theme as an alarm. All files required to build the watch are available on Thingiverse.com. Most importantly, the differentiation of manufacturing processes for each functional layer -- skin, skeleton, guts -- allows more makers to participate in hacking the design, resulting in a richer ecosystem of modules from which to crystalize new designs.
