It'll be very interesting to see how this affects product cost, and if it will become popular enough for economy of scale.

Thank you for sharing the details, very interesting how they were able to create this product. Hard to say how it will be received by the general public and remains to be seen how it will influence the pricing. Personally I think it's a big leap forward in the use of gold for watches and other products that are subjected to the rigors of daily wearing. The fact that they were able to maintain the integrity of the gold to remain at 18k is really amazing as well.

That's pretty much a month old story.
