wondering about jumping hours
I read the following on http://timeuhren.free.fr/breguetfr.htm :
1926 : Brevet de la montre sans aiguille ? cadran tournant et heures sautantes dans un guichet

I am also wondering wether anyone could tell me more about it and its eventual relation with Vincent Calabrese's baladin watch.
Any help would be appreciated.
have a nice day
Nic

The PW you show has been called Montre a Tact, yes...
