Retro Watch with Bubble Display

Rafael Riber created a retro watch with HP QDSP-6064 Bubble display like 1970’s HP calculators:

The display is controlled by an Atmel ATMega328P-AU MCU with Arduino code, and the time is kept by a Maxim DS3231 Real-Time Clock module, that stays connected to the LiPo battery at all times, keeping time even when the microcontroller and display are not powered.

RafaelRiber shared the board on OSH Park:

Can i buy the entire watch? Or when I click "order board" I will get only the PCB?

Are you sure? yes | no

Way cool!
on Rev 2 make components 0805 for us hand soldering folks, also maybe either a blank back plate to sandwitch the battery between, and/or a small Li Ion button cell w/ charging circuit TP4056 or something, and micro USB port for charging
Still an awesome design!

Are you sure? yes | no
