This highly coveted collector's piece features 12 gold-coloured cutouts for the hour displays 1-12 and 13-24. The switch to 1-12 happens at midnight and the switch to 13-24 happens at midday. The wording ČS. PAT. ČISELNIK on the dial refers to a patent owned by Demkow Ciselnik, which was used in three pocket watches updated to jumping hours in Glashütte circa 1931.
