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.
