LED Retro 70's Style Watches
LED WATCHES: An icon of the space age 70's. the first LED digital watches were introduced in 1971 under the Pulsar brand, by 1973 they had taken the world by storm, after appearing in the James Bond Movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me' many more manufacturers produced LED watches until they became as recognisable as the lava lamp, millions of LED watches were sold and then with the introduction of Seiko's LCD watch in 1979, LED almost became extinct overnight, rarely to ever return since the 70's. Now LED watches are a favorite with collectors and those in the know! Vintage watches can now be worth 10 times their original price.
Now that the high volume manufacturing process for LED watches no longer exists they have become more difficult and expensive to produce. The production of these authentic reproduction LED watches involves careful and dedicated work. We use modern and highly reliable digital watch modules fitted with the original 70s type seven segment self illuminating digits that are wire bonded by the manufacturer to the modern module. The result is a great combination of absolutely authentic 70s LED watch look and feel with the reliability and long life of highly accurate modern electronics.
