Today's example is the Harrison C9 Jumping Hour MK III. master watchmaker, Johannes Jahnke, produced the MKII (and all other) Christopher Ward Jumping Hour watches. He took the ETA 2824-2 calibre and modified it with his JJ01 Jumping Hour complication and create one of the most affordable Jumping Hours ever made.
.
The MK III Jumping Hour was the first full production piece (the MK I and MkIIs were limited edition) and it came in a number of different colours and sizes - it was offered in 43mm and 40mm. This one is a 40mm and wears beautifully on the Wrist.
