I have to confess that the two stainless steel Wittnauer Electro-Chrons below are two
of my favorite
watches. Those hands are so.....kewl!
The Electro-Crons featured the Landeron 4750 movement which first appeared in 1960...only
three years after the first Hamilton 500. I also own a Clinton
and Waltham with this very interesating movement.
There were two types of Electro-Chrons: most had a large, now-obsolete, WD-5 battery while others
had a rechargeable cell.
Although the electronic Wittnauer in the last image doesn't quite have the same appeal as the
Electro-Chrons, the dial logo with the transistor and atom symbols are a nice period touch
(although not as stunning as the Waltham). This one
contains the ESA 9150
