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. Today the word "smart watch" is one we all know, but this was the very first of that breed, from nearly 40 years ago. Whatever you may have thought the earliest smart watch was, I bet you were not expecting this marvelously geeky instrument (especially not from a vintage enthusiast who covers your weekly Bring A Loupe!). Let's review

YM Bracelet diameter
Hi Everyone, I have not given my husband his YM yet, and probably won't for a while yet. But, I was reading somewhere about having to add extra links to the bracelet for bigger guys. The watch is not anywhere close where I can measure it. What size does the watch come and how do I order more links if I need to ahead of time? i don't want to give it to him and then make him wait for it to be sized. He is a big man (to me) 6'1 and 205lbs. Although I guess all that matters is the wrist sizeThanks, Rebecca

Advice about buying a 5026G from Russia
I'm seriously considering buying this watch:.chrono24.au/patekphil...-id3340967.htmI'm hesitant, because it's in Russia and it's not a chrono24 trusted seller.It does appear to be a legitimate dealer, with a fair stock of exclusive watches (and not the usual ones you'd expect to sell for quick profits if you were in the business of moving fakes).So, I'm after some advice (predicated on the fact that I'm not planning on visiting Russia anytime soon) -1. What's the best way to determine their view of 'mint' is fair?2. How can I best check that the watch is a legitimate patek?3. What's a fair and reasonable way of managing the purchase so they don't get an opportunity to take my money and run? Lastly, does anyone in the know think that price is fair and reasonable - is there usually much room to negotiate in a deal such as this?Thanks!
