Lot #28: Vintage Swiss Direct Read "Jump Hour" Mechanical Watch - New Old Stock (NOS) with Original Box

During an estate sale clean out, I found this vintage Swiss Direct Read "Jump Hour" Mechanical Watch - New Old Stock (NOS) with Original Box. Stepping back into mid-century watchmaking innovation with this stunning vintage Swiss mechanical jump hour watch. Instead of traditional hands, this timepiece utilizes rotating discs to display the hours and minutes through a distinct viewing aperture (known as a "Direct Read" or "Jump Hour" complication), bridging the gap between mechanical mastery and modern digital styling. This specific piece is an incredible collector’s find, showcasing pristine aesthetics as a New Old Stock (NOS) item that appears to have spent its life safely tucked away. The watch face boasts a brilliant brushed silver-toned bezel surrounding a deep black dial, highlighted by a stylized horse graphic and the Roman numeral "II". It comes nestled in its original vintage presentation case lined with vibrant red velvet, featuring a silk-lined lid with an elegant crest. Note: As a vintage mechanical item, it is being sold as-is. Regular servicing is always recommended for vintage timepieces to ensure optimal timekeeping accuracy. This item would enhance a person’s wardrobe or for a collector of fine time pieces.
