HOGA Directime Manual Wind cal. AS 1700 / Jumping Hour, Original Bracelet

— Time spun out by discs —

A HOGA Directime, made in Switzerland in the 1960s.

A distinctive construction with no hands, using three rotating discs for hours, minutes and seconds.

It has a jumping hour mechanism: when the minute disc passes sixty minutes, the hour disc switches over instantly.

One of the rare examples with its original bracelet.

— Cal. AS1700 —

The movement is the manual-wind Cal. AS1700.

It has the precise disc-driving construction needed to support a jumping hour.

The mechanical warmth particular to a vintage movement is part of the appeal.

— Retro-futurist aesthetics —

The case is about 38mm.

A smooth round case with a mesh bracelet embodies the retro-futurist form of the 1960s.

A cosmic impression and an industrial texture coexist, and as a design holding that era's image of the future it still gives off a fresh presence.

Following numerals with your eye rather than hands is a construction that changes how you relate to time itself.
