Highly attractive and offered in excellent overall condition, the present model was launched in 1989 and was the first minute repeating wristwatch featuring a jumping hour display.
The particularity of a jump hour watch lies in its unusual mechanism and appearance. The hours are indicated by a small disc turning underneath a window. The disc rotates every time the minute hand, set within the centre of the dial, hits the full hour.
