It?s hard to believe, but when the Hamilton Pulsar was introduced at a press conference in 1970, the very idea of a time telling device that didn?t have any moving parts or a ticking sound was quite incredible. Now, 50 years later, we mostly get the time from our cell phones (even if just to set our mechanical watches) which run silently in the background of our lives, like so many other parts of our technological world. The Pulsar, with a digital display, was advertised as a ?solid state wrist computer? at a time when personal computers were still well over a decade away from being a central part of our daily lives.
