They call me LEDLuvr, but I'm an LCD lover too. Glad to see you have at least 1 LCD in your colllection F.G.
Sorry I can't help with any info on the background of that watch.
But I love the fact that it says "Quartz Solid State" on the case.
That was a BFD back in the day - it's a hoot to see how they paraded it so prominenty back when LCD watches were new.

Looks like it's real Gold plate and not gold-tone.....

thanks LEDluvr.your so right regarding that point on the logos etc
i spoke to a relative who was in there 20s back in the 70s and people really did say:
"hey this is a quartz you know"

lol god the world has changed!

iam not sure on the gold plate.as its not marked anywhere on the case?

what L.C.D do you have by the way.

Hi F.G.,
I have a good amount of LCD watches. But here are my favorites, all Seiko's. The A159- Series isn't the most 'exotic' my any means, but it sure is practical and very comfy to wear, so I use them as daily-wearers often. In the G-757 group photo, I own #1, #2, and #4. I'm still on the hunt for an affordable #3, the actual Octopussy model. One just went on ebay for $700 USD!
Somehow, I don't think any of these will qualify as "Funky"

Love the M159-5039, I think it the only Seiko Digital that uses a clip on one end of the bracelet and the other end sldes under the case.
The case itself reminds me of a mini O634-5019.
The Mercury I think, is from Mercury Time a New York company or so it says on an LED I have. The logotype is the same.

That's a nice Mercury LCD.
It would have an Optel module inside, just like the Optcom, Segtronic, Jules Jurgensen etc. I would say it's from the early 70s.

All of the cases on the above watches are basically the same, and I think were made by Optel. This case is quite similar, but doesn't have the normal oval glass screen. See here for an example:

A bit bashed up I know but its the only other LCD from Mercury I have seen and also some of the larget digits I have seen in a watch of this era(Im thinking late 70s). Notice it used to be gold and someone loved it that much they re-polished it. The back has mercury New York and the module is Hong Kong. Im not sure the module is working properly as it flicks between date and time. I am not sure if this a feature as when the button is pressed is does show seconds then returns to date and time sequence. Any thoughts
