Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[SlimKlim]

but there's a logo?????

Fuck me, I never should've been so specific about that. I like it well enough because it's subtle, still wouldn't be my first choice by a long shot in that price range. Also, if a portion of the dial was dedicated to a ford/shelby logo and the entire thing mimicked the white & blue shelby color scheme, I would not like it. I don't think my tastes are really that finicky or hard to decipher.

Anyway. My co-worker brought in his FIL's Bulova Accutron 214 Spaceview for me to check out today. Super, super cool piece. These were the first electronic watch but they use a unique tuning fork positioned between the those two electromagnetic coils at the top to keep time, instead of ticking like a normal watch they have a high pitched hum. I don't understand how it works really, but it's neat, and it beat the Japanese quartz watch to market by almost a decade.

They weren't supposed to sell them without dials like this, they made a few of them for trade shows to show off the new kind of movement and people liked them so much they ended up putting them into mass production.
