Timeless design: we are in early summer 1972. Audemars Piguet and Texas Instruments both launch groundbraking "products".....
..... the Texas Instruments Datamath TI-2500, its first hand-held caclulator ..... Audemars Piguet launched the Royal Oak (here in the picture: ref. 5402 A-3x from June 1972) Cheers, HSTE ...
This is a very interesting post!
I like the history of both products, and the accompanying shot of the two together. Can I just add that AP's dial looks stunning. Looking forward to more. 👍
You're very welcome! The texture to that dial is, wow!
Definite museum piece! Probably only reserved for the lowest risk of timed events. 😉
When people dressed like this...
...I know. I was there. We've come a long way, baby : ) ...
“Datamath”. What a great name.
Watch isn’t too shabby either…😁 I still use a circa 1990 HP calculator at work.
One is beautiful and functional. One is only functional.
1972! A good year for mankind!
