Has anyone ever made a two handed watch with a jumping hour hand and an analog minutes hand? In the classic 2 handed format. Is it technically possible?

Do you also think about this complication created by Vincent Calabrese? Video link www.youtube.com

That is probably not what you are looking for, but there was a Dewitt tourbillion with jumping hour and minutes hands.
