Baselworld 2014: Oris Artelier Jumping Hour Watch

By Jovan Krstevski

 

 

 

 

The newest addition to Oris’ Artelier collection, the new Artelier Jumping Hour showcases an unusual way of telling the time. This isn’t the first time we see a watch brand abandoning the traditional central hour hand. But, this is the first in the Oris family to reveal its digital hour through a jumping disk that changes every sixty minutes.
