Watches Watches Watches!

Watches Watches Watches!

I do love my watches. Lured a wonderful female into my life with one of these aluminium chunks of ..um art?


Binary LED watch

I made this using a PIC18F2550 (overkill) The readout is 0-9 hh:mm:ss for easy easy reading. It also scrolls swear words at ~10mph with persistence of vision. LEDs were taken from an alarm system. It sports a chunky mobile phone battery in the rear.









 SPI TFT Watch

My most complicated watch to date. PIC32MX250D with USB and MicroSD. Firmware update from USB or SD, needs lots of coding to make pretty and functional.





VFD Watch

A Russian IV-21 (NB-21) 1982? not looking very bright as the battery was low and there's no feedback for compensation. One of the first projects I did in KiCad





7-Segment watch

The thinnest of all my watches, the Li-Po battery goes in the front... yes, another bloody watch 




There's more somewhere
