MAEN Watches, known for its meticulous craftsmanship and contemporary yet historically inspired designs, proudly unveils its first-ever Jump Hour timepiece, created in exclusive collaboration with renowned watch expert Nico Leonard. This limited-edition release embodies a perfect blend of classic horology and modern execution, marking an exciting milestone for both MAEN and Nico’s journey in the world of timepieces.
With a passion for horological excellence and a deep appreciation for unique watch complications, Nico Leonard has worked closely on the design and specification with MAEN to bring their combined vision to life of an exceptional quality Jump Hour watch at a reasonable price. The result is a watch that fuses historical inspiration with a bold contemporary twist, designed for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This collaboration not only celebrates the art of horology but also bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern watch culture. By combining Nico’s extensive knowledge and influence with MAEN’s dedication to quality and design, this partnership aims to create a timepiece that resonates with both seasoned collectors and newcomers to the world of watches.
A First for MAEN, A Testament to Horological Passion
The Jump Hour mechanism is a rare and fascinating complication that first gained prominence in the early 20th century, celebrated for its clarity and mechanical ingenuity. Unlike traditional watches, where the hour hand moves continuously, this movement allows the hour to “jump” precisely at the turn of the hour—a mesmerizing mechanical feat.
Why MAEN? The brand’s dedication to precision, its keen eye for timeless yet modern aesthetics, and its commitment to innovation made it the perfect partner for this project. This collaboration embodies the shared belief that watchmaking should be an art form, where tradition meets innovation in an uncompromising pursuit of excellence.
For Nico Leonard, this project represents a deeply personal endeavour:
“I've always admired the elegance and mechanical complexity of Jump Hour watches. When the opportunity arose to collaborate with MAEN—one of the most exciting up and coming watch brands—I knew we had to create something truly special. This timepiece is not just a watch; it's a statement of passion, precision, and craftsmanship. The industry deserves a Jump Hour watch of this quality at this price point.”

An Exclusive Design Featuring the Pride and Pinion Mark
In a tribute to Nico’s horological legacy, the Pride and Pinion crown logo is featured subtly as a submark on the dial, reinforcing the personal connection between Nico and this exceptional timepiece. The use of the Pride and Pinion is a deliberate choice—one that emphasizes the values, trust, and expertise that his brand represents in the world of watch collecting.
Pride and Pinion is a symbol of horological passion and knowledge. Featuring the crown logo on this watch was an essential decision for Nico — signifying the trust and passion for craftsmanship that Pride and Pinion stands for, embodied in a truly unique timepiece.
