A Jump Hour Automatic for Under $100? Specht & Söhne SP0032

The Specht & Söhne SP0032 does away with the hour hand entirely. In this review, I take a close look at its jumping hour aperture, the Seagull ST1721 movement driving it, the sapphire crystal, 39mm steel case, finishing, wearability and overall value. A jumping hour is a complication you rarely see anywhere near this price, but does it hold up in the metal, or is the novelty the whole point? I cover what Specht & Söhne got right, what could be improved and whether a jump hour from a homage brand earns a place in your collection. Let me know in the comments whether you'd wear a watch without an hour hand, and subscribe to On The Moonphase for more thoughtful watch reviews without the hype.
