The present timepiece exemplifies the classic and refined nature of the Halftime model. Boasting intricate complications such as a retrograde minute display and a jumping hour, it is a watch of exceptional quality. However, the true allure of this chronometer lies in its unconventional jumping hour display. Employing two separate rotating disks on the chapter ring that rotate in opposite directions, the two align perfectly only when the window display reaches 12 o'clock. It serves as a delightful message from the creator to the wearer, reminding them to stay focused on the present and not be consumed by thoughts of the future.
