On this day

Well, sort of.

Some guy (who turns out to be Dutch, cool) has made a webpage that tries to make it easier to search Google for specific dates (and optionally some keyword). I figured I’d check for my birthdate and found that:

Hamilton watches created the first electric watch in 1957; Seiko unveiled the first watch with a Quartz movement on December 25, 1969. Some people argue that these advances in watch-making technology deny the intricacy and the elegance of the automatic mechanical watch in the same way a chef feels that fast food has degraded the hamburger.

Now you know. ;-)
