THE watch to own in 1972, The Pulsar P2, the world’s first commercially successful digital watch. Worn by the likes of James Bond, President Ford, Jack Nicholson, and Peter Sellers. This one, sold through Tiffany, was graciously gifted to me by my neighbor. It was his father’s.

The time is set using a small horseshoe shaped magnet which is stored in a compartment in the bracelet clasp. Hours and minutes are advanced by touching the magnet to hour and minute sensors located on the case back.

Very interesting nice pick up
Thanks, I really dig that one.
Was instant buy for me - it's just a perfect (summer) watch with quite impressive specs. 😉

Well it's workers day today so I guess I better start. Oh wait workers day means I need to rest! Luckily I am not in China as this work needs doing today 😁

Put the toys away after Sunday's work project of sorting a water pump seal issue.

The Tiffany & Co inscription is the cherry on top!

Interesting, big Jack Nicholson fan, did you find pictures of him wearing it by any-chance? I was sad to read a few years back he stepped back from acting as he could no longer remember his lines.

It’s golden week in China isn’t it, or was that last week? The transportation system in China during its week long holidays is something to behold.
