Jump Hour Reps - Where you at?

[DallasGTA 3]

Many people know about the Franck Muller Crazy Hour reps, but what about some of the other Jump Hour replicas?

 

There's a post from a RWG.BZ user in 2011 who says he had one of these Chronoswiss Delphis:

 

 

On another site (RWG.CC) there's a post from a user in 2006 who says he had this Vacheron Constantin Saltarello:

 

 

Does anyone still have one of these old reps lying around? If so, may we please see a wrist shot?

[Xpletiv 16]

Damn that VC! *drool*

 

Yeah, I need a jump hour badly.

Zombie thread.... live again! I’ve posted requests for these on every forum and only scored one in my 10 yr collecting career. If anyone knows a link to a TD selling a jump hour PLEASE put it on on this thread.

Best,

Thanks for reviving this thread.  Since I started it, this is the only jump hour rep I was able to find:

 

Unfortunately, it was sold out.  So my search for a functioning jump hour rep continues.  Maybe someone else has had better luck?

Frank Muller crazy hours have jumping hours. And they are cheap. But too small for my wrist :(

[GingerApple 7,285]

Go for cheap, 70s Gen, they're ten a penny on eBay.

[Xpletiv 16]

I'd like to have that Corum too!

FMs are a different style of jump that just doesn't suit me, unfortunately. 

 

Ok, Blubba, post up some links at a ten penny. I've been watching every now and then on da Bay and they go for more than that.

Unless, you mean ones that need work....

[GingerApple 7,285]

Okay, ten a penny is a stretch - but there are loads out there for less than we pay for our reps.

Too small ? Do you have 10" wrist ?  

39mm x 47mm isn't that small to me 

[machiavegli 6]

The FM “crazy hour” is a different (but still cool) complication entirely. A real jump hour complication watch is awesome and makes it very intuitive to read time (hour is “digital”, minutes analog).

Here’s a true working  jump hour rep I bought from  @RichardMiami years ago. It was based on the Gerard Genta Bi-retrograde for Bvlgari.  The little number in the window at 12 o’clock is the hour (not the date as one might assume), note no hour hand

Humongous .............if you ask me.

I can't even wear a Casablanca.

A Long Island or a Cintree Curvex maybe...........but nothing else in the FM repertoire.

[RussP 22,228]

No 'jumping' anything here.............but the concept is similar.

This is the only watch (gen) that I have with the time displayed in this manner.

If these work they should be all jump hours, wish they had Donald on one of them though

These things always reminded me of old school bathroom scales

19.7cm wrist
The only one from FM that fits well is the Vanguard

I would presume that those G.G. Mickey mouse ones are just like that Stauer in that they are "wandering" hours and not true "jump" hours.

Which is acceptable, if they have the right look to them (for me).  That Stauer has nice font, but the case is a little "meh" for me. One can find some really cheap ones on the Bay for about 10-20$ that all have wandering hours and minutes, they just are too plain/uninteresting. 

I've been thinking about getting one and trying to mod it with different font and probably a different case, but I just haven't the time.

Hey Mach, I didn't think you still had this rep.  Is it still in your collection?

I emailed Michelle about those some time ago.  Apparently, they are all sold out.

When you say "wandering" hours, I'm guessing that is what my De Bethune Dream is:

Not considered a jump hour, right?

Must be related to the shape of your wrist or how you like the watch to appear on it, I have approximately the same wrist size (maybe a mm bigger) and I really like the fit of the FM Crazy Hours

[GenTLe 1,501]

Nope, it is that the one I got was this: http://www.silix-prime.me/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_255&products_id=5593

Much smaller

You didn't mention that earlier, you cheeky Italian !  

If you like the style, I really recommend you the bigger version, fits really well on our wrist size

[Xpletiv 16]

Dallas,

Yes, that is a wandering hours and minutes.

"Jump" is just that, the numeral, usually seen through a cut-out/window in the dial, suddenly jumps ahead to the next time interval be it hour or minute.
