时尚腕表可测量海拔来自历史故事的成语

新华网1月15日电 据科技博客Gizmodo文章，继去年Breva Geneve品牌推出了可预报天气的腕表Genie 01之后，今年，该品牌再次出手，推出了Genie 02，它与上一代产品采用的技术相似，只不过，这次显示的不是天气，而是海拔。

该腕表表面有一对密封的金属膜盒压力传感器，会随着海拔不同造成的气压变化而膨胀或收缩，据此腕表可以显示出准确的海拔位置。该技术并不十分复杂，但该腕表的特别之处在于，找到了一种理想的金属，能够准确的测量出当前的海拔高度。当然了，也正是这种特别之处，使得这款腕表价格如此高昂。

该款腕表将只限量发售55支，售价为132000美元。这意味着，Genie02的目标消费群可能不是登山爱好者，而是热衷于新款设计的收藏家。

This Watch\'s Mechanical Altimeter Lets Climbers Stay Stylish

A relative newcomer to the watch scene, Breva Geneve popped up last year with its first offering, the Genie 01, which put a whole weather station on the wearer\'s wrist powered by an ingenious mechanical barometer inside. This year the watchmaker is back with its second piece, the Genie 02 Terra, which adapts the same mechanism inside the Genie o1 for displaying the altitude instead.

The mechanism making it all possible is centered around a pair of sealed metal aneroid capsules that expand and contract based on the air pressure which is constantly changing based on the altitude. The actual mechanics aren\'t terribly complicated, but finding the perfect metal alloy to accurately indicate the current altitude at the top of the watch face is what makes the Genie 02 Terra so unique. And, of course, expensive.

Available soon in a very limited run of just 55 pieces, the Genie 02 Terra will sell for $132,000 which means that Breva Geneve is probably more targeting collectors with this new design, instead of avid mountaineers.
