Rene Rondeau
The leading authority on Hamilton Electric Watches. Rene repairs and sells all kinds of Hamilton electrics. His site includes a history of Hamilton and other related links.
Pulsar
The official Pulsar Watch site. Only a bit of information on LED's, the rest is about their new line of watches.
Parsec Enterprises Inc.
They do LED watch repairs but I have only my own personal experience to verify this. I do not know if they repair all brands or not. A phone conversation with the receptionist there told me they have one man that does LED repairs and repairs can take a long time. If you have dealt with them, please let me know! Their website has good information about Pulsar LED's including a small FAQ.
IEEE Frequency Control Website
Good information and history on the quartz crystal, piezoelectricity and everything related. I haven't even begun to read the mass of quality information contained in this site!
The Accutron Watch Page
A page dedicated to tuning fork electric watches, the watches that hum! No LED material, but interesting and worth knowing about.
Talking Watches
Talking watches (and other things) from Maxi-Aids. They specialize in items for impaired people, but the talking watches ingest batteries much like LED's, so I thought a link would be appropriate!
