Apple granted a patent for technology your grandpa used

Obviously a patent application, especially one as absurd as this, means next to nothing – it's common practice for large companies to patent every idea their employees prototype. So while it's unlikely the next Apple Watch will be a wind-up model, it's interesting to glimpse the innards of Apple's design process for the device. The Apple Watch Series 3 is currently expected to launch in Q3 of this year, so we'll surely be hearing more about it soon.
