24-hour Jumping Cage
A unique
Watchmaking
complication
Simple to read yet fitted with a complex micro-mechanism, Frederic Jouvenot Solar Deity timepieces display two different faces, highlighting the day and night cycles. For the very first time in watchmaking history, a timepiece displays the time without conventional hands, numerals or disks.
How does it
work ?
At noon, all the sunbeams are turned gold, representing daylight. At that precise moment, the dial represents the sun at its zenith. As time passes, the rays turn black one after another, clockwise; the dial darkens and announces oncoming night. Midnight is represented by twelve dark beams reflecting in the night. To symbolise the return to light, the sunbeams take turns to pivot again until mid-day, thus completing a full 24 hour cycle.
