The vast majority of watch timepieces on the market are either analog or digital, and if they are the former they traditionally operate by utilizing hands. The Jumping Hour takes a different approach to displaying time by highlighting a rotating aesthetic that enables the multilayered interior to turn in order to tell the time. Inspired by the aesthetic of a clock tower, the Jumping Hour watch creates a beautiful motion when in operation that makes it like a work of art on the wrist.
Designed by Anna Samoylova and Alexey Boguslavskiy, the Jump Hour watch timepieces provide a view into the inner workings of the design to help highlight the functionality rather than hide it under a face.
