Swiss Manufacture 4.0 Calibre Jumping Hours developed and patented in-house

In developing the Swiss Manufacture 4.0 Calibre Jumping Hours, the Maison’s engineers faced significant physical challenges: the jumping hours disc, 25 times heavier than a conventional hour hand, must advance instantaneously once every hour. According to Newton’s second law, this sudden acceleration demands a force orders of magnitude greater, up to 70,000 times, than that required in a traditional three-hand movement.

Type

Anti-clockwise jumping hour instant with concentric minutes

Thickness

6.15 mm

Number of components

265

Frequency

28’800 A/h - 4Hz

Oscillating weight
