Gebr. Staiger, St. Georgen 1970

In the 1970's, watch production underwent dramatic change. Fewer and fewer movements were being made of metal. Instead, plastic was being used to conserve manpower. Thanks to micro-electronics, quartz technology forged its way into everyday life. One year after making this prototype, Staiger of St. Georgen introduced the first low-priced quartz movement for the world market.
