HP-01: BETWEEN FUNCTIONALITY AND DESIGN
Focus on the HP01, an iconic watch that illustrates Hewlett-Packard’s technological innovation
When a multinational IT company demonstrates its know-how, it creates an innovative instrument that marks a turning point in portable devices. With its avant-garde features for the era, HP01 from Hewlett-Packard opens a new dimension in time management and personal calculation.
An instrument on the wrist
Hewlett-Packard launched the HP-01 wristwatch in 1977. Half watch, half calculator, half perpetual calendar, the object is a marvel of miniaturization. It combines the functions of a watch (time, alarm, timer, chronometer, date and calendar) with an electronic calculator and memory. A user can calculate and display a change of time zone, view the time, or calculate the projected cost of a long-distance phone call. A showcase of HP’s know-how, the watch is a revolution that appeals to businesspeople.
A UFO!
It looks strikingly like a calculator. Its dial features 28 tiny keys that can be pressed with a stylus cleverly hidden in the bracelet clasp. Four raised keys can be pressed by finger: D-ate, A-larm, M-emory and T for time and two others are recessed to prevent accidental activation: R (read/recall/reset depending on mode) and S (stopwatch). Its red LED digital display was very power-hungry and required three batteries: one to power the integrated circuits and two to drive the display.
Functionality and design
If its interface allows easy navigation among its various features, the HP-O1 stands out for its modern aesthetics. With its stainless steel case and chrome bracelet, it exudes style and appeals to a wealthy, business-minded clientele. It is seen on the wrist of Donald Trump! This pioneering piece, beloved by collectors, paved the way for the design of modern smartwatches, and above all, was ahead of its time in the era of personal microcomputing."}
