The hours are tucked into the foliage in the Olympic Automatic as the minutes churn at the bottom of a cascading waterfall, creating a serene forest scene at sunset. Illustrated by Kenneth Crane.
What is a jump hour?
A jump hour watch is a unique timepiece where the hour indicator does not slowly sweep across the dial. Instead, it displays the hour numerically in a small window and instantly "jumps" to the next number at the exact moment the 60th minute of the previous hour ends.

Really like the design! I understand the concern around low light reading, but also this isn’t the watch to wear if you need to tell time in Olympic at night in a hurry. That being said, maybe adding a light at around 2 o’clock could help while staying true to the already excellent artistry. Again, a very fun watch that works well. Much love
Probably not the best choice to quickly tell you the time, but a very interesting thing to have on your wrist. Strangely, for me its not the jump hour that’s hard to read, but the minute markings which are very low contrast, light orange on a white background. Would have awarded 5 stars had the movement been from closer to home.
Really like the overall appearance of this watch including the open rear window during the mother's. Not an easily read timepiece but you don't buy something like this for its functionality but rather for it's style and friendship movement. I am disappointed in the quality of the band and quickly purchased a sturdy more reliable option with a better clasp.
Awesome watch, arrived perfectly
Great watch - finishing and construction are very good. Dial is very neat and well done. It's not really difficult to tell time with the watch, about the same as any other jump hour watch. Overall, a great deal and a nice watch.
