Designs that should return; The jump hour digi-disc
Do you agree that this design deserves a rerun and what other designs do you think deserves another chance?
Now I admit that I am a sucker for old art deco watches, but having said that there is one design I think should be brought back and that is the jump hour digi-disc. It's such a simple and elegant design that is truly timeless and quite simple in its construction. Being the perfect amalgamation of the Reverso and old hunter case pocket watches.

I have been collecting watches for a while now. However, I am just starting to develop my taste and collection, so still pretty new to it all.

Gucci has got you covered! Widely available in a variety of colors / straps, around EUR 1.300,-
These watches really help save time on crystal polishing.

Yeah i've seen that one and it is quite nice. However you do pay a lot for the Gucci name and it is not a jump hour 🤔

Yeah i bet you could play polo with this without turning it over 😉😂
Yeah i like the computron, specifically the angled display 😁 but i would like it more if the display was always on (and that it had no effect on battery life) 😉
Mine's in a slightly different style, bit I am also a sucker for a jump hour.

Thank you! Word of warning though, most of these 70s jump hours came with lower-quality pin-pallet movements. Even some with 17 jewels used variants of the infamous BFG 866. Servicing them isn't easy, but I have done it with the aid of some patience and classical music.
Despite this, they are still very hard to resist.
