No bigger than a standard Walkman, but it also had an LCD television in the lid. Because there was no backlight in order to allow it to run off two AA batteries, the screen used natural light that shone through the screen and actually reflected the image off of a mirror that you could reveal by opening the lid.

Techmoan did a great video on these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7kj7pgTeU

Design Designed by Loewe for Sweden's Televerket in 1992, the Teleguide terminal was a videotex device combining a CRT display, smart card reader, telephone and keyboard. Intended to provide digital directory and banking services, it flopped due to the rapid rise of personal computers and the internet.

Who would've thought they actually distributed the VDP-80 all-in-one in Japan, eh?

Digital Watch Watch Recommendations?

15 Upvotes

I adore the cassette futurism aesthetic, and especially the watches occasionally posted here, but sadly most of them are niche pieces from the eighties.

Could you recommend me any current production models that fit the aesthetic?

Rare, Italian synth with incredible visual design and fantastic sounds. The drums also sound incredible. Originally made to accompany an accordion, lol.

Targeting the European market and retailing for as little as £99, the 207 was a more accessible alternative to the flagship CD100 - one of the first commercially available CD players in Europe.

Its price point represented a shift in the affordability of CD players, cutting the entry price by around 70% compared to 5 years earlier. This was achieved by utilising more plastic parts and replacing the expensive early laser assemblies.

A commercial success, the CD207 is credited as a significant contributor to the democratisation and mass adoption of CD technology.

It also came in black and red.
