·Whilst not quite a jump-hour watch, the Audemars Piguet Star Wheel’s sapphire disks jump into position, right before sliding over the minutes track.

·Here is a beautiful English jump seconds pocket watch.
Puzzled by it having two seconds hands, I thought it was simply a stop watch or 'Doctors' watch until I got it home. My friend liked the Fleur de Lys hands, so I bought it. You will notice two mainsprings, one for the going train and the other for the jump mechanism. In lovely condition.

·*Oversharing Warning*
Oh man, I used to almost exclusively collect jump hours. I also taught myself to fix them since some of them are so finicky (Lord Elgin and Benrus Dial O Rama especially).
Here are are few choice ones I have/had in my collection:
Tenor Dorly Sky Raker - Only a handful known to exist. released the year they went out of business:
Super uncommon ESA electronic based jump hour and jump minute.
Lip Retrograde/flyback
Wittnauer Futura 1000, same flyback mechanism as the LIP. Different movement.
Bulova Art Deco "White Knight". Same FHF as the OP.
Lord Elgin Chevron. I've made a few custom nickel plated versions like this
Original Gold
Classis star dial Benrus Dial O Rama.

An old group shot, many of these were sold, and many added after:

··ΩF InvestiGatorA couple of contenders, although neither are true jump hours.
Zodiac Astrographic. I’d call this more of a wandering hour (and minutes and seconds).
Gruen Airflight I. This one is a jump AM/PM. At 1 o’clock, there is a barely audible click and the ring inside moves.
It’s really a 24 hour movement done in a different way. The movement is actually the same as the Day Night version from @X350 XJR above.
