===== Jumping hours =====
**Jumping hours** ("Heures Sautantes") is the name for [[digital]] hour indication on the dial.

In a small window, usually at the top of the dial, there is a disc with the hour numerals, which is advanced jumping every hour.

===== Jumping minutes =====
The classic [[IWC]] [[Pallweber]] pocket watches (and modern reissues) also feature **jumping minutes**. The [[A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk]] features both jumping hours and minutes.

===== Jumping seconds =====
Analogous to jumping hours, but referring to the second hand, which then moves forward every second. (In watches with conventional balance frequency, e.g. 28,000 A/h, the hand moves in fractions of a second). The display of a hand advancing by seconds requires more constructive effort.
