Center Seconds
Hysek
The Hysek IO Jumping Hours Central Tourbillon features an unusual tiered
time display that may indeed be a one of a kind in fine watchmaking. First
unveiled in 2015 to many intrigued collectors, the IO Jumping Hours Central
Tourbillon is now offered in a cleaner, more contemporary design. Each
concentric circle performs a precise function: The outermost disc displays
the hours by rotating counter-clockwise. The current hour is displayed in
the center of a window at 12, clearly marked in gold. In the middle sits the
minutes disc. This turns clockwise, creating a running counter to the hours
disc. An arrow pointing from the hour dial links hours and minutes. The
eyes of course focus on the in-house Hysek manufacture tourbillon, which
can displays the seconds. All in all, the watch offers quite a performance all
day long. Price: $200,000
