Pulsar prototype

Post10 May 2020, 08:36

Hi.

Does anyone know if there more pictures of the Pulsar / Hamilton prototype that was presented to the press.
There is nice selection of photos of the watch in the "Oldpulsars" web page but I was wondering is there more pictures in the fast space of internet?

Thanks!

Hi. Yes, agree, this watch does seem mysterious. Anyone know what happened to it? Does it still exists? Inquiring minds want to know!

This is probably the rarest and most elusive digital model, even more so than the early 25 chip P1s:

Yes, one would think when this huge milestone is made, the company would make as huge "noise" as possible. But photos of the event are very limited and no videos at all...

The image(s) I wanted initially to upload here seems to be already available online, for example at the URL below, where one may read a nice article: The Pulsar: A Revolution in Display Technology:
http://pabook2.libraries.psu.edu/palitmap/Digital.html
And the original "exploded" schematics of the 1970 earlier Pulsar/Electro Data LED watch prototype - with (probably?) the 25 IC module/not the 44 IC module - from the above mentioned article:
(This schematics may be found also on the OLDPULSARS website, but as a part of a photo-collage with "white-on-black" images)
http://www.oldpulsars.com/ElectroData.htm

P.S. Now I've seen that I have this schematics at a much better resolution, please let me know if one need it
:dwf:
Every watch should have its own story...consequently, a watch collector has to be a good storyteller :)
