New jumping hour from Czapek!
The announcement is supposed to be tomorrow, but apparently this publication already published the press release:
The version in steel is priced at CHF 42'000 and the version in gold at CHF 64'000
Because I find the dial very interesting and attractive,
the guilloche cover on the other hand is not my cup of tea, I’d much rather prefer to look at the dial and not to a guilloche cover, however that’s me so it’s very subjective and I certainly understand other people who’d prefer the watch as is, have nothing against it, in fact it’s much better because there are many choices for different people in the market and everybody is happier for it.
Totally get you! I personally prefer the cover as it helps it be visually tidier. I like its juxtaposition with the modern movement too.
Yes the cover has a somewhat
anachronistic element to it, a nice fusion with the modern dial beneath it. Are you thinking of going to go for one?
The disk on the right has the digits 0-9 for the second digit of the hour,
the disk on the left has a 2 on it, the first digit of the hour is never a 2 unless
one is using military time. Any explanation for that
Pardon my ignorance but is it possible to set the watch to run either "standard" or military time?
Or does it just run on 24h.
it is 24 hour time 0-24
and there is no option for 1-12, 1-12.
That would require a complete re-engineering of the movement

I like the Hunter case, but that hour window could be smaller, I don’t like seeing parts of the other numbers.
It's weird and interesting
As a lover of 24h time, I'm enthusiastic with the decision to feature a 24h jump hour display. The hunter case screams tradition, while the mechanism underneath appears quite modern. My own preference would be for something a bit sportier, similar to the Urwerk UR-101 T-Rex. The case is a canvas, so there could be variations in the future. I like it overall though. It's an interesting addition to Czapek's collection.
