Jim -- Nice find. Crazy prices. Color images cached at: http://leapsecond.com/museum/patek/ Time Nuts -- Not many of us are interested in high-end mechanical clocks and watches, but the name Patek Philippe catches our eye because many of the early time/frequency standards from Tracor, Austron, and Hewlett Packard used a 1 PPS stepper driven analog dial clock display made by Patek Philippe. After the Nixie tube era, but before the LED, LCD, and VFD era, HP used these wonderful Patek movements in their 5061A and 5065A standards. You can see an example on the early model 5061A/01 at http://www.leapsecond.com/hpclocks/ /tvb _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
