Vintage electronics is simply cool. Here is our latest arrival - a
mechanical watch timing machine from the 70's made by Elma. My dad had
one almost identical in his workshop and this one takes me back to my
apprentice days; the good old clinker. But make no mistake, back in the
70’s this was cutting edge technology - a piece of equipment which was
designed for timing mechanical watches worth thousands of dollars in
today’s money.
This particular Elma Star comes from a watch and clock makers annual auction which was held on Tuesday night. I was the only bidder and got it for $10 - what a bargain!
