I have a Seiko, one of the kinetic ones where it winds as you walk. I can leave it sitting for 2 years, shake it up and it sets itself back to perfect time (I never wear it). I have always been perplexed by this, it blows me away how it can know the time. I swear it even compensates for daylight savings time. Can anyone tell me how it can sit unwound for years and reset itself when I shake it?

Energy saving. Something Apple should consider for MacBooks.

Yes my dad has a few Seiko's they are beautiful the mechanism is the best, and they are cheap as chips (well for a watch)
