I remember how they introduced the unibody Macbooks around 2009. They milled the entire enclosure from a slab of aluminium - they had to buy thousands of mills for mass-producing. Now 3d printing seems to open up even more design possibilities. But with the time to produce a watch enclosure (20+ hours) it would take days to create a Macbook enclosure.
