My first Real-watch at ~12 was a {take breath} *Mido Multifort Super-automatic (buglers are supposed to be On Time, was my argument.) It was On Time, even when I wasn't.
Later, the first 'skeleton'/visible-guts Accutron, subsequently wheedled by the head honcho of Electr. Techs, who Had to have it.
(When Hg batteries died, later--as well they should--one had to come up with tiny Schottky diodes and Ag types.. for that 1.34 V.)
While hP's first foray into the fantastical L E D was a tour de force, was never tempted to put numbers!?! on my Regal wrist, thankyouverymuch.
* At ~12yo, a really savvy watchmaker in S.F. gave me the Watch-history lecture, entertainingly: he mentioned Vacheron et Constantin as sine qua non, during.
Alas, none in his small repair shop to show. But I remembered the Name.
