Camera Watch Demo:

Never mind a camera on our mobile phone, how about one on your watch? It might sound like technology of the future, but this Kilfitt UKA 659 Bond-style camera watch is very much technology of the past.

It was a one-of-a-kind prototype developed during the 1960s in the Munich laboratory of Heinz Kilfitt. The watch has a small analogue camera attached to it with 1.3mm-10.5mm lens, a shutter speed from 1/15 sec to 1/1,000 sec and a custom film disc. Oh yes - and there's a watch too.

A great Bond-style gadget and a unique item too, but with a price to match at a whopping $60,000 - which is just short of £30,000. Maybe that price will come down if no-one bids.

Ham Clock Demo

This is a "KENWOOD HAM CLOCK". Amateur Radio Operator is offen called Radio Operator or simply "Ham". This ham clock shows 24 hours of countries and territories with each country ham code, so it is a very convenience for Ham to check the time everywhere in the world to communicate with another party of the Ham. The world map with 24 hour's countries, country ham codes and minute scale were printed on base as the dial, also shown Central Time at center top. And the 24 hours disk is transparence with day and night, the silver minute hand with orange tip is 60 minutes per cycle. the second is an orange plane on the transparent disk too. The face size is W170mm x H190mm. It is a fully mechanical clock with D type battery operated motor to replace main spring. Therefore the motor speed is very fast which could not be applied to clock movement directly, so it should be designed to wind a spring every eight minutes by a switch to control the tension of spring without over winding to drive the clock movement indirectly. So that this is an one of earliest battery operated mechanical clock in the world, it was manufactured in 1974 by Nit Toh Clock Co. Japan, Model No. HC-2, Serial number 3802. Now, this special ham clock has being used by myself for my internet and email worldwide.
