Feba Mechanical Jump Hour

It's retro again today, but not an LCD digital watch, although in the early days, these were called 'digital' too.

The watch is a jump hour watch, and uses a system of rotating discs to show the time in a small window. The name Jump-Hour comes from the fact that the hour dial doesn't rotate continuously, but jumps to the next hour (over about 20 min, so I think this maybe needs a service). Both of the other dials run continuously and don't jump.

It has an automatic manual movement which is an incabloc 25 jewel type.

The watch is by Feba, who are a Swiss brand, and seem to have been operating in the 70s making mechanical watches (but I don't know when they were founded and if they've now ceased). From my search, this 25 jewel mechanical movement seems to be one of their top models (as most are hand-wind and 7-17 jewel). They also seem to be interesting to collectors, as one model sold for $400! There is not much more info on the watch, but the are numbers on the back. One looks like a serial number, but the other (3020) could be the model number

The style of this watch is quite interesting, and features a domed front in brass, dropping away to the corners, with a curved rectangular glass. This, with its matching brown leather strap, makes the watch quite eye catching.
