On this day, January 3^rd, in 1957, the first-ever electric watch was introduced in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which eventually replaced mechanical wind-up watches.

The dream of many, about the watch that does not need to be wound or worn every day to be self-wound, came through in 1957 when American company Hamilton from Lancaster, Pennsylvania announced at a press conference that it had developed the first electric wristwatch powered by battery. The wristwatch that along with an innovative solution for mechanism had an equally inventive asymmetric casing designed by the industrial designer Richard Arbib, was an immediate hit and it seemed to have a bright future. However, new and perfected designs soon followed and production of Hamilton’s electric watch stopped in 1969.

I thought seiko was the first to introduce electronic watchs, it was Bulova Accutron which is a great and accurate watch btw.

There was a time when everyone wore those ridiculous push button digital watchs, I hated them and refused to wear them. It took two hands to tell time, that was nonesense to me.
