# Architectural Jump Watches The Seconde Majeure Uses Jumping Hours and a Central Seconds Hand By Amy Duong | Published 2026-05-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seconde-majeure References: [spaceonewatches](http://spaceonewatches.com/) & [baltic-watches](https://baltic-watches.com/)  The [Baltic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baltic-scalegraph) x SpaceOne Seconde Majeure is a limited-edition watch created by the two French brands with a jumping-hour module developed by Théo Auffret. The watch displays hours at 12 o’clock and minutes at 6 o’clock, with both readings shown through sapphire discs and a crosshair-style pointer. A long central seconds hand gives the model its name. The case measures 38.5mm in stainless steel with a 12.3mm thickness, a concave polished bezel, brushed surfaces, and a crown positioned at 12 o’clock. The watch uses a [Soprod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digitrend-osii-black) [P024](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceone-worldtimer) automatic movement with a custom jumping-hour module. Two dial versions are available: brushed and charbonné, with the latter finished by hand. Pre-orders run from May 12 to 17, 2026, and production will match the number of orders placed during that window.
