Subject: Re: How good was the Elgin Electric watch? Author: John [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:45:15 01/31/06 Tue In reply to: Jeb 's message, "Re: How good was the Elgin Electric watch?" on 20:04:23 01/31/06 Tue Accutrons were an entirely different species of "electric" (battery) watch - that is, they were better conceived of and designed than the early Hamilton and Elgin electrics. These early electric watches simply substituted a battery for the mainspring as a source of power, and the marriage wasn't a happy one as they were basically incompatible technologies.
