Jumping Regulator - The beginning of a new adventure
"Since my very first steps at watchmaking school, I have always dreamed of creating my own brand to bring all the ideas that cross my mind to life.
As an independent watchmaker, it is essential for me to carry on watchmaking traditions while bringing my own vision to the craft.
This journey is that of a watchmaker driven by an insatiable desire to learn and develop his skills, constantly seeking technical and aesthetic excellence in watchmaking.
Today, I am proud to unveil this watch, on which I have been working for nearly two years. It is the culmination of everything I have learned since my beginnings in the world of watchmaking."
Samuel Gillioz, 2025
Regulator watches have long been a reference tool for watchmakers in the precise adjustment of their timepieces. I wanted to pay tribute to this heritage by designing this new model, while incorporating a modern touch to the display. However, since challenges always come in pairs for me, and with over fifteen years of experience in the watchmaking industry, it was essential to make this regulator an exceptional piece.
To offer a creative and captivating way of reading the time, the regulator has been enriched with two well-known complex mechanisms: jumping hours and retrograde minutes.
These complications are displayed by two hands positioned on distinct axes. The minute hand is driven by a cam and a double wolf-tooth rack, ensuring smooth transmission and eliminating any gear backlash. A double ratchet disengagement mechanism has also been integrated to protect the mechanics in case of reverse adjustment.
Every hour, the retrograde minute hand performs a instant 220° counterclockwise jump, while the hour hand simultaneously advances by one step, offering a fascinating mechanical spectacle.
The decorations are handcrafted in the workshop using traditional methods. The finishing of each component was carefully considered well in advance, right from the design phase of the mechanism, with the goal of achieving perfection in every detail.
