Lucerne Digital

This is an early 1970s Lucerne Digital wristwatch which is interesting because it has a mechanical movement.

The watch is running well but unless I get invited to a 1970s retro party I don't think I'll be wearing it!

The watch has a 'jump-hour' - meaning the hour indicator changes exactly on the hour rather than gradually changing like the minute indicator. I placed a penny in the photo to give an indication of the size of the watch - it was pretty big for the 1970s. Today big watches are the fashion.
