A bold 1970s direct-read watch that shows the time through disc windows instead of hands: the hour in a jumping window and the minutes on a rotating disc. The deep blue dial is signed "Majestime", "Digital" and "Swiss", and sits in a faceted, horizontally brushed steel cushion case with a strong space-age profile.
It is hand-wound and fitted on a steel bracelet.
Brand heritage
Majestime is one of the small Swiss dial names of the 1960s and 1970s that appear far less often than the big houses. Like many independent labels of the period it was sold on design and value rather than heritage, and surviving documentation on the company is scarce. Mechanical "digital" jump-hour watches boomed in the early to mid 1970s, when Swiss makers answered the first LED and LCD watches with rotating-disc displays in futuristic cases.
