Typically, retrograde displays feature an arced scale. Independent brand Hautlence takes a different path with the linear retrograde jumping hour of its Linear Series 2 watch. Housed in a TV-shaped, black PVD-coated steel case, the dial features a graduated linear scale that evokes those of precision measuring instruments. Through the open dial, you can view the blue skeletonised linkage that drives the jumping hour indicator, which moves instantly from the numeral 12 at the bottom to one at the top when one o’clock rolls around.
