A distinctive Swiss jump hour wristwatch by Lucerne, featuring a mechanical rotating-disc hour display housed within a bold space-age case. Produced during the late 1960s to early 1970s, this piece reflects an era of experimental watchmaking when Swiss makers explored unconventional ways of presenting time through innovative mechanical design. With its retro-futurist aesthetic and modernist proportions, this is a striking vintage watch that feels equally at home in a design collection or everyday wear.

KEY DETAILS
Brand: Lucerne
Model / Reference: Mechanical Jump Hour (Ref. 12712-1)
Era: Late 1960s – early 1970s

CONDITION REPORT — Running & Tested
This piece is currently running and has been tested for basic functionality. Timekeeping and operation are within expected parameters for its age and type. Cosmetic wear is consistent with careful prior use and is documented in the accompanying photographs. No servicing has been performed prior to offering.

As with all vintage and pre-owned items, minor signs of age, wear, or prior use may be present. These details are considered part of the piece’s character and have been photographed clearly for review. Please refer to all images carefully as they form part of the condition description.

WHY WE CHOSE THIS PIECE
Mechanical digital watches occupy a unique moment in horological history, bridging traditional watchmaking and the visual language that would later define the quartz era. This Lucerne example stands out for its clean execution, restrained Swiss styling, and legible jump-hour display, all housed in a sculptural case that feels unmistakably of its time.

COLLECTOR NOTES
Mechanical jump-hour watches were produced in relatively small numbers compared to conventional analog designs. While not rare in the absolute sense, well-preserved examples from Swiss makers remain increasingly difficult to source, particularly those with intact displays and honest, unpolished cases.

IDEAL FOR
- Collectors of unconventional vintage Swiss watches
- Enthusiasts of jump-hour designs
- Those drawn to late Atomic Age transitioning into Space Age design
- A distinctive daily-wear piece with quiet character

PACKAGING & SHIPPING
Securely packaged and shipped with care from the United States. Each order is prepared thoughtfully and discreetly in keeping with the Penrod, Stewart & Brown standard.

FINAL NOTE
This is a single vintage example. Once sold, it will not be replaced in identical condition.
