Model: Vincent Calabrese “Jump Hour” Commedia

Year: Mid '90s

Features:

The Origin. Vincent Calabrese is a name that might be immediately familiar to watch enthusiasts. I had the pleasure of showcasing his work not once, but twice last year. Each time, he offered us his unusual take on a jump hour watch, and today is no different.

The Complication. Only the minute hand and seconds hand grace the dial, while the 1–12 hour display now occupies the space where the burlesque performance took place on Calabrese's other variant. Perfect for anyone wanting to sport a traditional Calabrese Jump Hour, without risking a risqué wrist. Come to think of it, the previously discussed variant isn’t technically a jump hour - it’s normal three-hander with a jump show, I suppose? Too niche to categorise, as is often the case with Calabrese’s work! 

The Innovations. It’s silly, it’s clever. But most importantly, it’s very Vincent Calabrese. He’s pioneered multiple horological innovations, including his current mission to reinvent the hairspring, and he founded the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) that essentially serves as a Hall of Fame for living watchmakers. And yet he still finds it important to remind people that watches can, and should, be fun.

      FAQs

      Do you ship globally?

      • 4-9 business days to reach North America
      • 4-12 business days to reach Europe
      • 4-12 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

      All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

      Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

      It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

      Are your watches water resistant?

      All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.

      Can I modify an existing design?

      We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.

      What is your returns policy?

      Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.

      Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
