Seems like he's trying to solve a problem that's already been solved cheaply. And in an ungainly and ugly fashion.

Admittedly it is a pocket watch rather than a wrist watch but Hoptroff exhibited this at the last Salon QP

Personally, i love it. Not so much the looks, but the concept of an atomic clock small enough to wear.

By my calculations it works at 551,557,906,200VpH. Fife hundred and fifty billion! Puts my watch's 28,800VpH to shame. Come to think of it, they should start work on a chronograph version early doors.

Well done that man clap
