History & Legacy of Pulsar

Pulsar was the world’s first electronic digital watch. Everything started in 1970 when Pulsar was a brand of the American Hamilton Watch Company, and the first Pulsar watch was marketed by Hamilton Watch, a parent company of the Hamilton Watch Division. Today, Pulsar is a division of Seiko Watch Corporation of America (SCA). Hamilton's Pulsar Time Computer was the world's first digital watch and the first star of the quartz watch revolution.

Some further information from the website "crazywatches" — Pulsar watches, as the first LEDs in the world, were positioned as revolutionary top-shelf wrist-gadgets for the quality and technology-oriented customers. Pulsar was the first of a few digital-watch producers who offered solid-gold cases, and even Tiffany stores ordered Pulsars with their own logo printed on the red crystal.
