The bronze model is priced at £4,900 on bracelet and £4,550 on leather strap, while the stainless steel model is £3,750 on bracelet and £3,500 on leather strap. British luxury watchmaker Bremont is a relative latecomer compared to the industry's elder statesman, but it came out of the gates with an incredible backstory. In the 1990s, brothers Nick and Giles English were flying a 1930s biplane through France when engine trouble forced them to land. A farmer hid the brothers and their plane inside his barn so they could evade the local authorities. That farmer's name was Antoine Bremont. We could write an entire article all about the English brothers and their high-flying misadventures, one of which resulted in the death of their father (and the near-death of Nick). But at some point, you may ask: What the heck does all this have to do with the new Terra Nova Jumping Hour watches? The answer is 'not much,' but we can't resist sharing a killer story when we come across one. However, there is at least one good reason to share Bremont's backstory: to underscore the brand's evergreen pursuit of rugged adventure and technical innovation. Such a pursuit has led to various awards, iconic special editions, acclaimed military models, and some of the best modern field watches that money can buy.

Not only are the new Terra Novas aesthetically bold, but they're the brand's first watches to employ a Jumping Hour complication (and an exclusive one at that). As a result, both models eschew traditional layouts for numeric apertures, which peer through the minimalist display and change numerals at the top of every hour. If you're looking for something bold and unique, you've certainly found it here. Bremont has launched both limited and non-limited versions of the new Terra Nova Jumping Hour. The limited edition model draws inspiration from military 'trench watches' of the early 20th century, and joins the brand's Terra Nova Bronze series (introduced earlier this year). With cupro-aluminium bronze construction and a 38mm case size comes robust and compact wearability. The Jumping Hour movement — created exclusively with Sellita — is cleverly concealed under a 'montre à guichet' style display to render a jarring visual impression. All 100 pieces sold out at this year's Watches & Wonders.

It swaps in high-grade steel case construction, measures 40.5mm in size, and combines a sweeping seconds hand with numeric apertures on a black display. At first glance, one might think they're looking at a modern smartwatch, only to realise that the piece is making expert use of blank space. A left-to-right time display drives home the singular allure, whilst Super-LumiNova brings all the details to life under dark conditions. And so the field watch concept evolves with effortless style and legibility. Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato commented, 'I've always loved the Jumping Hour complication. It's quite rare and something of a connoisseur's complication. It's complex to realise but simple in its appearance. It also mixes digital and analogue references, which I love, and almost mirrors my own life's journey. It's mechanical at heart but digital in its display – born analogue but having to learn and grow with digital.' Bremont Terra Nova Jumping Hour Stainless Steel | Image: Bremont As Cerrato implies, the Jumping Hour complication does indeed carry an enduring backstory. Developed in the 19th century, it took off during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s and remains coveted by collectors to this day. Thanks to a sophisticated system of gears and springs, the hour disc 'jumps' to the next numeral whenever the minute hand completes a full revolution. For the Terra Nova Jumping Hour watches, a high-torque calibre delivers accuracy to the tune of 1/10 second. A stunning evolution of Bremont's rugged field watch, the Terra Nova Jumping Hour and its namesake complication were developed exclusively with Sellita. The limited edition bronze version is sold out, while the non-limited version will be available starting 2 June 2025. Get on it.
