Fero (Fero Feldmann) jumping hour, 1970s

— The hour, through a window —

A Fero Feldmann piece from the space-age 1970s. Instead of hands, the time appears as numerals in a window — a mechanical-digital specification that carries the forward thinking of its moment.

— Depth from a hairline finish —

The cushion case is strongly finished, and a gold line running across the centre of the black dial supplies the accent.

An orange seconds hand improves legibility and makes watching the numerals change part of the pleasure.

— A 17-jewel movement —

Inside is a Swiss 17-jewel hand-wound movement running at a steady low beat of 21,600 vph.

An honest Swiss mechanism behind the case back: not merely a fashion object, but a properly built watch.

— Vintage presence —

The particular volume of the case and the expanding metal bracelet give it a character current watches do not have.

Winding it and watching the numerals turn is exactly the kind of time only vintage offers.
