[time-nuts] Watches

Hi Didier,

I would bet that it still works, and he couldn't get
mercury cells to power it with anymore.  Accutrons eat cells
for lunch.  You get 1 year and not much more.  Remember the
one transistor oscillator is cranking 24/7, and the hum is
audible if the watch sits on any kind of sounding board.

I'd be happy to help.
