Goldpfeil Jumping hours 2004

Look: no hands!
The Jumping hours watch by Goldpfeil Genève displays time in a new light. Instead of the traditional centre hour and minute hands sweeping round a graduated dial, an aperture at 12 o’clock reveals the hours, another at 6 o’clock the date, and a round disc carrying the brand-emblem blue arrow points to the minutes. In this subtle play on geometrical shapes and symmetry, the customary dial watch face is replaced by the entire solid gold case itself, serving as a dial. Finely crafted from matt alligator leather, the new hand-stitched dove-grey strap is a perfect match for the white gold of the case and contrasts beautifully with the pink dial apertures. In keeping with the Goldpfeil Genève tradition, it is fitted with a buckle exclusive to this watch design and echoing the fluted pattern around the case side. A watch for individualists who like to view time from an original angle.
