It's a convenient folding design. The Audio Technica ATH-M50 and Shure SRH840, 440, 240 have similar folding mechanisms.
M50
And from Shure's SRH1840 model, I think the "wishbone" part is called the yoke.
On a side note, from the above photo, it looks like the M-100 will have a tight clamping force judging from the "V" bend of the headband. But if it's like the M-80's then I'm sure it can be stretched to fit one's head better, as was exemplified in Tyll's M-80 review video.
And also to the person who asked how the hinges will work if you see this
From this pic it's pretty obvious that the way it will work is that the earcups will stay still while the wishbone shaped parts (sorry don't know the official name of those parts) will move upwards putting the earcups together. If the hinges snap upwards in a fast motion I can imagine why Val said it looks amazing.
