An early quartz clock with numerous adjustment options from a time when a quartz movement was still the size of a shoebox. Accordingly spectacular is the interior view with ten large circuit boards, which remind a watchmaking handwork of its own kind and are far away from today's manufacturing methods of electronic components. Together with the massive wall-mounted case, this results in a weight of 7 kg. Square key attached.
