Thanks, only seeing the video I understood the line from the article: “the key to the success of the Gem clip can be found in the fact that it was patented first as a mechanism: the shape, which took only three gentle bends and a snip to produce, was easy to automate cheap to produce”

Brilliant.

Cheers! That's damn near magical.
