# Project description
|
|
|
|
|
|
Freewatch is a fully open electronic watch project featuring an
|
|
|
integrated GPS.
|
|

The project was started at CERN to make a special present for a retiring

|
|
colleague who likes hiking and timing.
|
|
|
The full design (electronics, mechanics, software) is available under
|
|
|
open licenses and, what's more, the design is exclusively made with open
