Notes

The ZEITWERK STRIKING TIME is the worldʼs first mechanical wristwatch with a jumping numerals display and a visible striking mechanism. Every 15 minutes / quarter-hour, the right-hand gong hammer (4 o’clcok) strikes a gong to produce a clear, high-pitched tone. At the top of the hour, the left-hand hammer (7 o’clock) performs its duty and generates a vigorous tone at a lower pitch.
