Microsplit 520

1976.3
Stopwatch Heuer 1976

At the time of its launch, the Microsplit 520 was the smallest digital watch on the market. Weighing only 100g, its quartz technology allowed for time readings of 1/100 seconds. Like many of Sapper’s designs, when not in use and shut, the Microsplit looks like a simple sleek box and only reveals its function once opened to be used.

Included in the Permanent Design Collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York
