This is one of the most satisfying projects I have done I think. Mainly because this is a real device and something so historically important. It is a fully functioning Enigma machine you can wear on your wrist. This is a three rotor Enigma machine as used by German Wermacht in WW2 for encoding messages.
Way cooler than any Android Wrist or iPhone Mini watch.
Yeah,but would you wear it at a funeral?
Where are the rotors? That thing is not mechanical.

So it’s basically an Arduino? I was expecting a miniature machine not a fairly simple Arduino/LCD combination.
Before I clicked on the link, I thought it was going to be information about this mechanical watch that was posted yesterday on Reddit:

Took me a while to realize how it displayed time. Pretty cool.

Imagine a commercial with this one meant for designers and celebrities.
On a more futuristic note I started noticing articles that state how much the Apple watch (whatever edition) will make the watch industry better just because it’s Apple.
I sure hope not.. What’s next? A bracelet that identifies us and allows us to make faster payments?
