Blending modern craftsmanship with vintage
aesthetics, the Manufacture in Le Brassus unveils the new Neo Frame
Jumping Hour, inspired by a 1929 timepiece (pre-model 1271). At the
crossroads of architecture, watchmaking and the reinterpretation of an
iconic artistic movement, this new line revives the design codes of the
1930s while harnessing the most advanced technologies in the creation of
both case components and movement. Hand-finished in accordance with
ancestral savoir-faire, this timepiece embodies the alliance of
tradition, audacity and innovation that has been at the heart of the
brand for over 150 years.

Combining elongated lines and curves, the pre-model 1271 draws direct
inspiration from the Streamline Moderne movement, also known as Pacquebot
or Ocean Liner style – a late branch of Art Deco. Emerging in the
United States during the interwar period, this design and architectural
movement sought a return to minimalism, taking cues from the aerodynamic
forms of trains and ships, symbols of speed and modernity. The result
was sleek lines, curved shapes, rounded angles and the use of modern
materials, sometimes paired with nautical elements.

The Streamline
Moderne style inherited Art Deco’s ambition to reconcile modernity with
craftsmanship, while integrating Bauhaus influences: an emphasis on
materials, a technological touch and refined minimalism. These elements
find a contemporary echo in the new Neo Frame Jumping Hour model.

“Audemars
Piguet has always remained rooted in its past while looking toward the
future. The Neo Frame Jumping Hour model embodies this philosophy,
paying tribute to our rich horological heritage through an emblematic
timepiece reinterpreted with cutting-edge techniques and a contemporary
approach.”

With a case measuring 32.6 mm by 34 mm, this new model adopts the
aesthetic codes of pre-model 1271 to offer a contemporary homage to
Streamline design. Its rectangular case in 18-carat pink gold is flanked
by eight gadroons on each side, extending into elegant lines that taper
into pointed lugs, evoking aerodynamic motion.

This distinctive
CNC-machined motif is echoed on the caseback, crown, and oscillating
weight – all in 18-carat pink gold. Exceptional precision was required
to align the case back’s lines with those of the lugs, ensuring visual
harmony.

The timepiece features a contemporary two-tone design
with a black PVD-treated sapphire crystal. Two gold-framed apertures
display hour and minute numerals printed in white on a black background.
The
Audemars Piguet signature appears at 6 o’clock in pink gold tones.

Despite its apparent simplicity, the sapphire dial demanded considerable
work and bespoke assembly processes. While the original pre-model 1271
featured metal dials (in various gold tones or platinum), this
reinterpretation meets modern standards by replacing the metal dial with
a sapphire crystal while ensuring water resistance. Typically, this is
achieved by pressing the crystal into a bezel, but the Neo Frame Jumping
Hour lacks metal framing at 12 and 6 o’clock, leaving the sapphire
exposed. To ensure 20m water resistance, the dial plate is bonded to the
sapphire crystal and then screwed into the case – a technique developed
specifically for this model.

This new timepiece underwent
extensive ergonomic refinement to anchor its historic design in today’s
world, and a new crown was specially constructed to enhance comfort
during winding while offering a refined look.

The watch is
paired with an elegant black calfskin strap featuring a textured motif
conceived by
Audemars Piguet’s Design team. Seamlessly integrated with
the case, the strap meets the sapphire between the lugs, reinforcing the
timepiece’s vintage inspiration.

Merging homage to the past and innovative techniques, this model is
powered by the Manufacture’s first selfwinding jumping hour movement.
Based on Calibre 7121, which equips the Royal Oak “Jumbo” models,
the new Calibre 7122 was developed entirely in-house. It combines an
instantaneous jumping hour with trailing minutes, delivering precision,
performance, and reliability.

With a robust
52-hour power reserve,
Calibre
7122 features a patented shock-absorbing system that
mechanically prevents hour jumps in case of impact, making the watch
suitable for everyday life. To enhance shock resistance, the hour disc
is crafted in titanium, while the minute disc which is displayed
progressively through the aperture, is made from a copper alloy.

On
the back of the watch, the movement is visible through a sapphire
caseback, revealing refined Haute Horlogerie finishes such as
Côtes de
Genève and satin brushing, along with a dedicated oscillating weight
complete with further fluting.
“This new timepiece is a
nod to Audemars Piguet’s pioneering role in developing the first jumping
hour wristwatches in the 1920s. Back then, the glass was so fragile
that it had to be protected by metal. Today, it is in sapphire, which
takes centre stage.”
Sébastian Vivas,
Director, Museum and Heritage, Audemars Piguet
The jumping hour revolutionises time display by replacing traditional
hands with numerals that jump every 60 minutes. This system first
appeared around 1650 in night clocks and was adapted in the 18th
century for pocket watches to improve legibility. Initially, the
jumping hour was paired with a secondary dial featuring an hour hand.
From 1890 onwards, minute indication appeared on a rotating disc viewed
through a second aperture.

With the rise of wristwatches during
the interwar period, the jumping hour gained popularity for its modern
display and practical advantage: the full dial with two apertures helped
protect the fragile mineral glass of the timepiece. These wristwatches
elegantly combined form and function.

Audemars Piguet played a
pioneering role in introducing jumping hour wristwatches. Between 1924
and 1951, the brand sold 347 timepieces with this display complication,
including 135 with dual apertures. The first model (No. 27826) featured a
square case, a single aperture, and a minute hand, powered by Calibre
10HPVM. In 1924 alone, 14 jumping hour watches were delivered, square or
rectangular, using Calibres 10HPVM or 10GHSM – the latter powering most
of the 212 watches with hour aperture and minute hand produced until
1951.

With their covered dials, dual-aperture wristwatches offered
Audemars Piguet a canvas for aesthetic exploration. Beyond square and
rectangular cases, the brand created cushion-shaped models, those with
removable or hidden lugs, engraved cases, and even triple-aperture
designs.

Pre-model 1271, marketed in 1929 and 1930, was among the first to
feature dual apertures. Only 14 pieces were made in four variants: white
gold, white and yellow gold, white and green gold and a unique platinum
piece. Nearly all were sold before the October 1929 stock market crash,
which ended the Roaring Twenties. The platinum model, now housed in the
Audemars Piguet Musée Atelier, served as the inspiration for the Neo
Frame Jumping Hour model. It was sold to the son of a famed Broadway
shoemaker.

Jumping hour wristwatches faded at the onset of World
War II but saw a revival in the 1960s and 1970s during the Space Age
design era. Their true renaissance came in the early 1990s, when
Audemars Piguet began combining the complication with minute repeaters –
a practice the brand continued for two decades.
