Jumping hour Mechanisms that cause the indication to jump from one unit of time to the next constitute another revolt against convention. The time is marked on a disk that moves in discrete steps. In its new Jules Audemars minute-repeater with jumping hours, Audemars Piguet combines two of the firm's specialties in a watch with conventionally modern lines. The Replica Rolex Day-Date hours appear in a shaped aperture at 12:00, while the central minutes have the dial to themselves. Jumping hours are often associated with retrograde minutes-Gerald Genta has, in fact, made this combination its trademark.

The Gefica Safari, an updated version of one of the brand's classics, joins jumping hours, retrograde minutes, and dates in a bronze and titanium case styled in an African Art Deco look. FG One by de GRISOGONO is distinguished by its elongated case with two dials, one with retrograde minutes across a 230° arc, jumping hours and a continuous second time zone. Maurice Lacroix, Double Retrograde II The Double Retrograde II by Maurice Lacroix presents -in addition to the Replica Breitling Bentley "traditional" hours, minutes and seconds-a retrograde display of the date and hour (on a 24-hour scale).

New faces of time Digital indications are more popular than ever with watch-makers, since they open the way to a wide range of fantasies. HAUTLENCE, the relatively new brand from Neuchatel, has developed a novel shaft-driven jumping hours and retrograde minutes indication; its HLS collection offers this original system in a new generation of square cases and easily readable dials in eight different versions, each limited to 88 watches. Vincent Calabrese demonstrates an equally original way of showing the time in his Baladin watches, which he poetically calls the "hobo hours." The Replica Panerai Luminor hours jump in a round aperture, which itself marks the minutes by orbiting the dial, while a central hand sweeps the seconds. Vianney Halter conceived an entirely digital time display for Harry Winston's Opus 3. Jumping hours, minutes, seconds and dates appear in six separate portholes. Two movements totaling 250 parts drive the 10 revolving disks. Also for Harry Winston, but this time for its Opus 7, Andreas Strehler, the young watchmaker from German-speaking Switzerland, devised a system of multi-purpose disks. Pressing the crown guard brings the right hour on its disk against a marker at 10:00; a second push indicates the minutes, and a third, the Replica Cartier Santos power reserve.
