The Avant-Garde Art Deco: Jump Hour Watch (1930s)
This vintage jump hour watch, produced in the 1930s, is a true horological UFO. Called "Jump Hours" (or Jump Hour), it radically breaks away from traditional hand displays to offer a digital reading ahead of its time, embodying the futurism and geometry of the Art Deco style.
Its steel case of shape tonneau (25.4mm) protects a fascinating complication: two rotating discs indicate the hour and minutes through stylized apertures. The hour "jumps" instantly at the change, a hypnotic mechanical spectacle. It is an absolute conversation piece, both minimalist and technically daring for its time.
Under its capped (shielded) dial, it is powered by a manual winding mechanical movement (cylinder escapement). Note: This type of a very old mechanism is a horological antique. Although serviced, it offers an approximate "period" precision. This watch is purchased for its historical engineering and design, not for its chronometric precision.
A rare piece intended for discerning collectors, seeking a strong aesthetic and an alternative way to read time.
