Whittnaur Electric Watch Battery Spacer (Landeron 4750)

Recently a good friend, Neil, was visiting the workshop and wearing a very cool watch. A vintage electric Whittnaur with a very early movement. So early this uses mechanical contacts to control an electromagnet rather than the more common transistor. A great piece of history but also an amazing looking watch, check out the dial and hands at the bottom of this post.
