Jumping regulator : the alliance between innovation and tradition

Since challenges always come in pairs for Samuel, 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.

The objective was clear: to combine technical challenges with artisanal finishes worthy of haute horlogerie, such as hand-beveled edges, mirror polishing, and inward angles.

The Jumping Regulator watch blends a bold design with historically significant complications while offering remarkable autonomy with a power reserve of over 100 hours.
