Period
circa 2000s
Dating to circa the 2000s, this jump hour wristwatch by Vincent Calabrese is cased in stainless steel measuring 36 mm in diameter. The circular case features distinctive central articulated lugs attached to a black leather strap.
A deep black dial presents a prominent central aperture framed by a brushed metallic ring, through which the jumping hour numeral is displayed. Minutes are traced peripherally by an arrow-shaped pointer traversing an outer chapter ring calibrated in five-minute divisions and signed 'CALABRESE' at 6 o'clock. Christie's reports the watch is powered by an automatic ETA caliber 2892 A2 movement.

- Object Identity and Documentation
- This jump hour wristwatch is catalogued by Christie's under the maker name Vincent Calabrese, with a date noted as circa 2000s. The cataloguing records no specific reference or serial number, nor an explicit country of origin. The auction listing details accompanying accessories consisting of a Vincent Calabrese presentation box shaped like a book, an outer slip cover, a blank certificate of authenticity, and a Vincent Calabrese stainless steel buckle.
- Mechanical Movement and Evidentiary Boundaries
- The movement is catalogued as an automatic ETA caliber 2892 A2 configured for a jump hour function. Christie's condition report notes that the movement was in working order at the time of cataloging, but states that it was not tested for accuracy and recommends a service given the age of the watch. Neither the movement nor the case back are shown in the provided photograph. Consequently, internal mechanical finishing, caliber stamps, and any case back markings or engravings are not recorded in the visible evidence.
