Nice summary of jump hours.
Here is one that i feel is somewhat under rated and often missed by Collectors
Some jumping hours & retrograde minutes watches
A few days ago, I've been able to try on the Bovet Dimier RĂ©cital 15 with a titanium case and lacquered salmon dial . Oddly enough, this model isn't listed on Bovet's official websites. Having made some research, it turns out that this complication is qui...
Stunning timepieces!
I must say that the ones with more classical displays are both better legible and - inho - more pleasing to the eye. I love the Bovet watches, but also the Blancpain. May I add another one that is a rare watch, made by one of AHCI's founding fathers, Rain...
Thanks for this great addition, Marcus!
Didn't know this very good-looking piece with a rare jumping hour hand (instead of disc). Best, Emmanuel
The Chanel is too modern-looking for my personal taste, but I understand why it's appealing.
For me, it's definitely Blancpain here. Best, Emmanuel
That's a nice one, which I didn't know: thanks!
The minutes aren't retrograde, but who cares? Thanks for your enthusiasm. Best, Emmanuel
Another terrific post, quattro!
I can't say that any of these jump hour watches make "my list" though I have been tempted by the simple Reservoir watches on more than one occasion. The salmon dial Bovet catches my eye as well. I like the placement of the hour aperture at the outer perim...
The salmon dial Bovet is very nice looking.
Bovet: another member of the Fleurier 'quartet': Parmigiani, Chopard, Voutilainen & Bovet! The other one which appeals to my personal taste here is the Blancpain. Thanks for your enthusiasm. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for this really great post, dear quattro!
I am a big admirer of the Blancpain which is definitely on my wishlist. Here my Hautlence Linear 2: Have a great Sunday Thomas ...
Thank you, Thomas, for sharing some pics
of your Linear 2: it fits your wrist very well! And thanks for the kind words! Best, Emmanuel
You continue your streak of beautiful and interesting posts!
Love the Bovet, Blancpain and the Van Cleef two time zone. I’d be very happy wearing one of these. They’re all interesting. Wittnauer made one called the Futurama. A nice Sunday to you as well. ...
That's a nice one I knew nothing about, with double retrograde hands.
It makes me think of this wonderful pocket watch seen in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Best, Emmanuel ...
wow great comprehensive review.. but Zeitwerk and Vagabondage missing? may be because are jumping minutes too ?
The Bovet salmon is nice but I don't like the screws on the dial, the hour is not big enough and the price is crazy. Rather wait a bit more for a Zeitwerk. Similarly, the hautelence time (hour) is very small not as easy to read..but a nice watch!
Yes, I was focusing on the combination of jumping hour and retrograde minutes.
I would choose a Zeitwerk over a Bovet too. And the Hautlence are too modern looking for my taste, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks for your comment. Best, Emmanuel

Thank you, nice piece, this Romain JĂ©rĂ´me!
But I was focusing on jumping hours with retrograde minutes: a very special combination. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, it's a nice combination of complications.
Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your GG! Best, Emmanuel
