Vintage Camy Geneve Jump Hour Automatic Watch 1970s Space Age Digital Swiss 38mm

Vintage Camy Genève Jump Hour – Automatic 17 Jewels – 1970s Space Age Mechanical Digital – Steel Integrated Bracelet

A vintage Camy Genève jump hour automatic from the 1970s. Instead of hands, the time is shown through a window by rotating discs: the hour as a single digit alongside a curved minute scale. The stainless steel tonneau case measures 38mm across and 12mm thick, with a brushed finish and polished bevels, and a screw-down caseback engraved "All Stainless Steel", "Antimagnetic", "Waterproof" and "Incabloc". Inside is a Swiss automatic movement with 17 jewels. It comes on an integrated stainless steel bracelet with Camy-signed buckle, fitting a wrist of up to approximately 19.5cm.

Brand heritage

Camy was a Swiss watch brand established in the early twentieth century and produced by the Camy Watch Co. It was known for reliable, well-priced mechanical watches and was sold widely across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, where the brand was particularly popular from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Model history

Mechanical "digital" watches with jump hour and disc displays were a hallmark of the early 1970s, when Swiss makers answered the arrival of LED and LCD watches with space-age designs of their own. They show the time in windows using printed discs driven by a conventional mechanical movement. The fashion lasted only a few years, which makes surviving examples such as this Camy appealing to collectors of 1970s design.
