Top Ten Technically Important Electronic Watches
Until the 1950s, the wristwatch world was powered by springs. It wasn't even until the 50s that automatic winding watches started to become popular, meaning that most watches were not only powered by springs but also one's ability to wind that spring manually. It was human-powered timekeeping. Winding one's watch was part of daily routine, as was adjusting it regularly to keep it accurate. But 1957 heralded change and the beginnings of a revolution that would fully materialize in the 1970s and 80s, and it all started with the futuristic-sounding, electric watch.Pre-quartz watch electric timekeeping technology was crude by today's standards, but rapid improvements helped make the battery-powered watch not only the dominate way people tell time today (don't ruin it for mechanical watch lovers by telling them), but also set the stage for wearable computers and a whole universe of watches that managed to do things no spring could ever hope to accomplish.1957:?The Electric WatchA horologica

5960p , Lovestruck ! New Addition
Not much to say, i'll just leave this ONE pic, and it speaks for itself droooooollllI know some of you have seen my anti Patek posts due to bad experience and well, I do still think a bunch of the pieces are overpriced... but after experiencing tons of higher end pieces (50-100k) I can honestly say they are all overpriced This watch however makes me see it's true value, it just feels so special, just perfection in my eyes.On to my new 5960p , I went back and forth between Grey and Blue dial.. I wound up with Grey, and let me say, I am so happy with my choice ! I love the elegance of the grey, so versatile, yet still can be casual/sporty. The dark brown strap I also love , and I didn't in pictures. After pairing it with many outfits it goes with everything, just a stunning watch in every way !
