"The Origin of the Electric Watch" by R. P. Guye, Engineer - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1957 Swiss magazine.
Text in the article is in English.
The opening paragraph of the article reads:
"Once again, highly coloured articles have appeared in the daily papers throughout the entire world, telling the public at large that the electric wristwatch - they no longer speak of the electronic watch - has been invented and that its appearance on the market will seriously shake the watch industry in the very near future. The natural reaction of every technical man has been to evaluate this information, and see whether the possibilities of industrial manufacture really entitle one to develop and make a watch of such a revolutionary nature."
The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.
[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]
The article is 8 pages in length (on 4 sheets of paper, front and back) and includes a few very small black and white diagrams within the text.
As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends. There may be small staple holes along the edge of the pages from where they were removed from the publication in which they were included.
The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
