I present to you an atypical electronic watch, with LED, from the 70s, before the advent of LCD watches. Here, in this case, it is a watch from the brand "Modern Watches", in every way identical to a model from LIP, part of the Mach 2000 collection, designed by the designer of the TGV, Roger Talon. I have not found any information on the collaboration between Modern Watches and LIP. Perhaps an operating license to market this new type of watch in other countries? This model must have revolutionized the watch market in the early 70s, and been considered a futuristic watch. The LCD very quickly replaced this LED technology because the latter was too energy-intensive and the battery was empty in a few months. To see the time appear on the dial, you must press the button on the right, at the top of the case. This watch stands out from mechanical watches by its precision in keeping time, because it is a technology that uses quartz. The battery is lithium. The design of the square case, in brushed steel, is very modern. This watch is part of the watchmaking revolution of the early 70s, in search of conquering the precision of time thanks to new technologies. It is a watch of Designer and engineers. An endearing and "emotional" watch for all these reasons.
