The Famos Digital Jump Hour is a striking reminder of the short-lived mechanical-digital era of the 1970s—a time when Swiss manufacturers experimented boldly with futuristic time displays. Instead of traditional hands, this watch tells time through rotating discs that “jump” from one digit to the next, creating a clean, modern display decades ahead of its time.
This example features a classic cushion-shaped case, a minimalist black dial, and the signature red hour window paired with a minute disc. Powered by a manual-wind Swiss movement and marked Shock-Resistant, it remains a collectible piece for enthusiasts drawn to unconventional design, mechanical cleverness, and retro-futurist charm.
