The Source of Inspiration
The two circa 1930s white gold Audemars Piguet jump hour examples displayed below are among those who inspired the newly released Neo Frame Jump Hour.

Thank you for answering my question from another post.
Very interesting history and love the pivot from AP. May be it’ll make it easier for me to get a 16202…
I am also pleased that AP
is making such a piece, but I like the original much more than the new model, unfortunately.
Are you considering getting one? With the 16202 in mind?

Ahh the John Shaeffer
On my list. Anyway none of these cost $70,200 in today's dollars when they came out
As expected…
I find the size and proportions of the original a lot more pleasing. Still good AP has broadened out a tad 👍🏻
Yes, "still good" as you say, I completely agree.
But the original is so much more appealing...
