What is a jump hour complication?
1 Answer
A jump hour complication is a technology in a watch that causes the hour hand to simply point directly at the hour, rather than sweeping around the face as the time changes. Once the time switches to the next hour, the hand “jumps” ahead to point directly at the next hour. Shop a range of watches featuring a jump hour complication on 1stDibs.
