Watch kit

1976. A digital watch was the epitome of cool and sophistication and Sinclair Radionics came along with the idea of selling them as a "do-it-yourself" kit. Way too cool.

The only problem is, the "Black Watch" was cheap, unreliable and very sensitive to static discharges. Altogether, a very forgettable piece of technology.
