Rare* 1930s Doxa Jump Hour | Large 25.5 x 39mm

This Doxa Jump Hour exemplifies mid-century horological ingenuity, showcasing a sophisticated jumping-hour mechanism. Departing from traditional designs, it features a digital-style hour display through an aperture, synchronized to jump precisely at the top of each hour. This innovative feature is complemented by a classic minute hand that turns around a semi-cut space on the case, certainly a fun and unique design.

Aesthetically, the watch embodies Doxa's flair for bold and unconventional designs, with clean lines and a vintage charm that resonates with collectors. Its mechanical precision and rarity enhance its appeal, making it a standout example of Doxa’s creative legacy.

These pieces are as rare and precious as time itself, with only a select few surviving the years in such remarkable condition. 

Unusually large for a jump-hour timepiece, its dimensions of over 25.5mm by 39mm, coupled with 20mm lugs, give it a commanding presence on the wrist. It exudes both elegance and a bold, striking appeal.
