The Steineck ABC wristwatch camera was made by Steineck Kamerawerk in Tutzing, West Germany and introduced c.1948. Designed by Dr. Rudolph Steineck, it made eight exposures on a disc of film 25mm in diameter which could be stamped from standard 35mm film using a special punch supplied with the camera. It continued to be listed until 1951. Dr.Steineck was later associated with the Tessina camera.[1]
The lens is a f/2.5, 12.5 mm Steineck, it is fixed-focus with two aperture settings. It has a single speed, self-capping shutter. The camera came in a quality presentation case and was fitted with a leather strap.
