From Wired.com

Here's what we know about the Kilfitt UKA 659 camerawatch: It's a one-of-a-kind prototype created during the 1960s in the Munich laboratory of famed optician Heinz Kilfitt. It has a 1.3mm-10.5mm lens, shutter speed from 1/15 sec to 1/1,000 sec, and it uses a custom film disc. It's drop-dead sexy in a Sean Connery-era James Bond sort of a way. And you're going to have to act fast and cough up at least $60,000 if you want it.

But what about the lume? I guess you won't need it since you can't take pictures in the dark anyways.

That is really neat. A 60's cool. Reminds me of what I like about the old Minox cameras.

Thanks for sharing that, unique and quite amazing technology for its time.
