Comprehensive history (in German) of the history of pocket watches featuring jumping (as opposed to slowly rotating) digital dial displays. These were made from 1884, first by IWC, based on a patent by Pallweber, and were fashinable for a few years. Known manufacturers include IWC (7models), Cortebert (6 models), Gedeon Thommen (4), Aeby and Landry (6), A. Kaiser (3), Durrstein / A.Lange(3), Gurzelen / Louid Brand (2), Wittnauer (2) Minerva (1), Favorite (1) and SADA (1 model). The book contains company background and patent information and full color photos (dial, case movement) of the 36 known models, with discriptions, plus reproduced ephemera items.
