Heinz Kilfitt UKA 659 camera watch,


While different gadgets built into wristwatches and phones isn't all that notable nowadays, back in the 1960's, it wasn't that easy. That's why this unbelievable Kilfitt UKA 659 camerawatch is so sweet.
It's a very tiny analogue camera packed into a stylish (at least for its time) watch. Only one of them was ever made, created in the 60's as a prototype by famed optician Heinz Kilfitt in his Munich laboratory. It uses custom film disc, has a shutter speed from 1/15 sec to 1/1,000 sec and 1.3mm - 10.5mm lens. This beautiful piece of history ain't so cheap as its modern Chinese analogues, but if you have $60,000 to spend there'd be worse ways to squander it.
