The deep dives are back with this look at the US digital watch brands from back in the 70s before it all went wrong. We cover Texas Instruments , Hughes aircraft, Fairchild semiconductor, national semiconductor , Hamilton pulsar , optel and microma as well as all sorts of watch manufacturers like bulova, benrus, Waltham , Elgin and more. A few super fun oddities in there too like the Gillette reflex and of course the amazing rhiel synchronar. I hope you enjoy the video.
Of course I was heavily reliant on the references : trueb et al. Electrifying the wrist watch and Pieter Doensen history of the modern wrist watch. The rest of the references are provide throughout , with crazy watches , digital watch . Com and retro LEDs being frequent sources. Please do check them out!
