MAEN Watches has teamed up with renowned watch expert and personality Nico Leonard to launch a truly unique timepiece: their first-ever Jump Hour watch. Fusing classical horology with bold, contemporary styling, this limited-edition release is set to make waves in the watch world.
The Jump Hour: A Rare Complication, Reimagined
Unlike traditional watches, where the hour hand moves gradually, the Jump Hour mechanism makes the hour “jump” instantly at the top of each hour. It’s a mesmerizing feat of mechanical precision and one rarely seen in modern watchmaking.
This release brings the complication back into the spotlight, offering a blend of vintage inspiration and modern refinement that appeals to both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.
“This timepiece is not just a watch; it’s a statement of passion, precision, and craftsmanship.”
— Nico Leonard
Built in Collaboration with Nico Leonard
Best known for his expertise and engaging presence in the watch community, Nico Leonard played a hands-on role in this collaboration right down to the details of the movement and design.
In a nod to Nico Leonard’s legacy, the dial features the Pride & Pinion crown logo, representing Nico’s own brand and his deep roots in horological culture. It’s a watch built on trust, craftsmanship, and authenticity.
