The latest addition to the Classic collection offers a new way to read the time. Spotlight on the white-dial model.
The new Classic Jumping Hour watch houses a mechanical self-winding movement with jumping hour display, minutes and seconds, and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. In a tribute to mechanical watchmaking so dear to Jérôme de Witt, founder of the Manufacture, the jumping hour offers a fun and unusual way of telling the time. The hour is not indicated by a central hand but by a disk appearing through a wide aperture at 9 o’clock. The hour change occurs instantaneously by a jump every 60 minutes.
This Fine Watchmaking feature gives the Classic watch a new face that stands out with resolutely contemporary asymmetry. With two intersecting counters and an off-centre aperture the watch’s dial stands out with its circular geometry: sunray pattern, circle appliques and engravings overlap in an interplay of reliefs and depths.
The Classic Jumping Hour ref. CLA.HSA.002 features a white dial. A black dial version (ref. CLA.HSA.005) and blue dial version (ref. CLA.HSA.004) are also available.
The 40 mm diameter rose gold case is decorated with DeWitt’s signature, the imperial columns.
The meticulous finish of this piece demonstrates DeWitt's skill and craftsmanship. This search for aesthetic and technical perfection is the true signature of DeWitt’s master watchmakers and dial-makers.
