The Story: Jump-hour watches drop the hour hand and show the hour as a number that snaps into a window, an idea that goes back to Josef Pallweber's pocket watches of the 1880s, which IWC built under licence. This Citizen Independent brings it to the wrist on a 39mm case, and it comes with its original box. It is running, with a new battery fitted.

Collector's Clue: Watch the hour change on the stroke of the hour: the jump is the moment this watch was made for.
