Wow! Look how fast that index wheel is turning! I really didn't expect it to go that fast! Those notches are amazingly tiny!

Yes, but the actual technology was developed at Bulova's Swiss headquarters in Biel, by a Swedish engineer named Max Hetzel.

@douro20 The original Accutrons were not swiss. US made.

The index wheel spins more than 38 millions times / year.
When it finally dawned on me what's happening inside an Accutron, I completely shit a brick. Now I have a ton of them. GREAT WATCH!

Wow! Looks more like a record with tone arm(s) riding it than the pawls moving the wheel.

A marvel of modern Swiss engineering. To make this work required a level of precision never before seen in the watchmaking industry. If I remember right, each of the wheel teeth is smaller than the diameter of a human hair.

360hz tuning fork frequency. Those pawls ratchet over a million times per hour. Mine has been doing that with minimal maintenance (cleaned about every decade)for forty years.
