This site is dedicated
to the early LED (Light Emitting Diode display)
quartz watches from the seventies. The development
of new electronic components like C-MOS ICs and LED displays
enabled a completely new watch design then and its partly
outstanding creativity appears to be attractive again today.
After only a few years of production these watches dissapeared as
the originally expensive and ambitious objects of design were
displaced by cheap mass production. In the end the more economic
liquid crystal display technology also providing better daylight
readability became generally accepted.
By this site I'd like to draw attention to these great watches
and as well I welcome contacts to other collectors and interested
visitors.
