Imagine a watch that looks like an electronic clock with Nixie tubes, but ultimately has no electronics built in at all. Sounds like an exciting puzzle that you urgently need to get to the bottom of, equipped with a screwdriver and some patience.

The screwdriver and the patience must have been with Fran Blanche, who was our guest at the very beginning of our journey last year already.

As usual, Fran competently and entertainingly takes the plastic and metal based thing apart, analyzes it, and solves the mystery at hand.

An exciting and entertaining journey to a time, when electronics were still so cool (and expensive) that they were simply faked with the help of (cheaper) mechanics. Bud ... did times change.
