One of these complications is the regulator, and this is perhaps what they are best known for. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delphis Jump Hour is perhaps this complication in it's most pure and aesthetically pleasing form, and is a real hidden gem from the neo-vintage era. Featuring a 38mm case crafted in platinum, it measures just 11mm thick with a lug-to-lug of 46.5mm, with signature coin edges for the bezel and bottom of the mid-case and screwbars for the Piccadilly-style lugs. While these cases are just phenomenal to wear, the real star of this show is the gorgeous dial. It features an abundance of guilloche in multiple forms, and is topped with magnificent pear-style blued hands. The way it catches and plays with light across all of its surfaces is endlessly captivating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement powering it is based around the vintage Enicar 165 automatic, known here as the Chronoswiss C.124, with platinum rotor, atop of which sits a retrograde minutes complication with jump hour. We love a jump hour here at WV, but in combination with that heavily sprung feel of the retrograde minutes hand pouncing back to zero makes it feel very special. You can both feel, and hear it in action, and it is very satisfying indeed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular piece would date from the early-2000's and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition, with the it showing only very light marks on the case sides, and some swirlies and hairlines on the polished surfaces. There's a very small mark on the guilloche near 7 as well. Please see images for full condition details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes mounted to a beautiful German made Fluco Canvas strap with platinum Chronoswiss pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWas recently adjusted by Woods Watchmaking, with the Retrograde minutes reset, case back and bezel lubed to prevent galling, and regulation. All functions operating as they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with outer box, inner box (missing cushion), CS Loupe, booklets, warranty paperwork (expired) and booklet holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese were limited to 99 pieces and rarely pop up on the secondary market. It is a phenomenal amount of watch for the money, and just beautiful on the wrist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Chronoswiss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel #: CH1420 S\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Dress\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCirca: 2000's\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase Material: Platinum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase details: 38mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet: Fluco Canvas, Chronoswiss Platinum Pin Buckle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Automatic C.124\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial: Guilloche\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands: Blued\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParaphernalia: Outer box, inner box (missing cushion), CS Loupe, booklets, warranty paperwork (expired) and booklet holder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTZ Grading: Near Mint\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch Vault utilises the TZ grading system.
