The first jump hour watches appeared in the early 19th century and became particularly fashionable during the Art Deco period. Their simple design, displaying the current hour and minutes, through a small aperture, harmonized perfectly with the purely decorative Art Deco style, which was regarded as elegant, functional, and ultra-modern. During the 'Roaring Twenties', pocket and wristwatches with this unusual display were made by the most eminent watchmakers, including Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Cartier, and Patek Philippe.
The present timepiece is the perfect example of such creation. Cased in two-tone white and pink gold with Art Deco numerals, it exudes a quiet elegance. With a case measuring 25.5 x 36.5 mm. it fits the wrist perfectly. Neither showy nor ostentatious, only a collector with the keenest eye will recognize it as a symbol of history and refined taste.
E. Gübelin
E. Gubelin was founded in 1854 and has always been a family enterprise. Located in Lucerne, Switzerland, the renowned company has been manufacturing and retailing superior quality watches and clocks ever since. The firm was one of Audemars Piguet's most important clients in the first quarter of the 20th century and watches supplied to them were bearing exclusively the Gübelin signature, such as the present example. This at the time common practice had been agreed by contract, stipulating the omitting of Audemars Piguet's signature, with the exception of the serial numbers.
