These rapid-action mechanical cufflinks are made up of more than 45 micro-components, micro-pistons are just some of them. These super high-tech mechanical cufflinks with their exclusive pushpiece system for easy locking and unlocking will save time when dressing for that black tie engagement – probably micro-seconds.</p> <p>Made from 18ct gold and titanium, these cufflinks are sure to be the talk of the party – unless you’re too discreet to show them off. Created by high-end watchmaker <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120825203343/http://www.swisstime.ch/pgs/rwi-pgs-prod-lgs-en-idp-2093.html" target="_blank">Romain Gauthier</a>, the mechanical cufflinks comprise micro-joints, micro-springs and micro-pistons (but no micro-price).</p> <p>And their unique safety system prevents any accidental loss of the cufflinks while wearing them. But we’re convinced that 007 or others of his ilk will find a more sinister use for these fashion accessories.</p> <p>So, if you can’t think of anything to buy for the man in your life who has everything … we doubt that he’ll have a pair of these.</p>   <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120825203343js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/cufflinks-007-would-want-to-own/14520/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120825203343/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/cufflinks-007-would-want-to-own/14520/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120825203343if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Fcufflinks-007-would-want-to-own%2F14520%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20120825203343oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/cufflinks-007-would-want-to-own/14520/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/mechanical-cufflinks.jpg" data-description="A pair of mechanical cufflinks with 45 micro-components would suit someone the caliber of James Bond."></div></div> <div class="as_button"><script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script></div> <div class="as_button" id="reddit_button_bar"><script type="text/javascript">reddit_newwindow='1'</script></div> </div>   <div id="tags"> <span class="title">Tags</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <ul> <li>» <a href="/web/20120825203343/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/cufflinks/" rel="tag">Cufflinks</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20120825203343/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20120825203343/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/watch/" rel="tag">Watch</a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> </div> <div id="bing_unit"></div>  <span class="title" id="comments">2 Comments</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <div id="comment-25933" class="a_comment"> <p>The spy could carry a power generator on his cufflinks to power his laser watch </p> <span class="name">Facebook User</span><br> <span class="date"> 23rd June, 2010 @ 11:41 pm PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-129832" class="a_comment"> <p>A number of companies as well as online shops today have come out with an exquisite variety of printed cufflinks.
