Historical Perspectives: Meet The Very First Smartwatch: Behold The HP-01, from Hewlett-Packard
Throwback To The Past: it is 1977, quartz watches are still less than 10 years old; it's the year Star Wars hit theaters for the first timeand you are actually looking at, not a piece of science fiction, but what is nothing less than the most technically advanced wristwatch ever produced. Whether you love or hate what electronics have meant in watchmaking, there's no doubt that the development of electrical and electronic timepieces, from very early electrical pendulum clocks of the early 19th century to the first quartz clocks of the 1920s, to experimental electromechanical watches in the 1950s and '60s, changed horology forever.

This kind of thing sucks and the low life(s) who are responsible need to be caught.and then drawn & quarted but that's just my opinion. Mike had a fabulous group of carefully chosen watches that he took a looooong time putting together and needs our help.
