This unique watch features creative hour markers and distinctive hands. Enjoy the calming sounds of intricate components and gears while learning about the watch's history and design.

That case looks just like the Hamilton Electric Taurus model.

Still better quality than those Mickey Mouse Watches from the Sixties. Well, the toys for adults have always been more expensive...

[@thehighorologist]

Lol. You’re right, it’s comparable to some Timex of the same decade.

@@thehighorologist You got a pin pallet movement to run very accurate and with little noise. Probably with that theme on the dial and hands the watch has never gotten a lot of wrist time, so it was practically as new, just needed a cleaning and new oil because of ageing. 😉

@@Ba_Yegu It didn’t look like it had much wear. What was surprising, not shown in the video, was that it looked like someone had disassembled this movement before me and one of the wheels was not installed correctly. Which could explains why the balance would speed up and slow down during inspection. Luckily no pivots were broken. I’m just happy the owner will be able to wear it again no matter how often.

What year did this watch cum into being?

[@thehighorologist]

Little info I was able to find point to the 1970’s
