What to know

The Grand Tonneau Jump Hour M8.1.1 replaces hands with two apertures in a vertically brushed steel dial. The hour appears in a small window, with minutes displayed through a curved opening below. The arrangement leaves plenty of empty space, allowing the barrel-shaped case and its contrasting surfaces to define the watch’s character.

MAEN specifies an automatic ST1721 movement modified in-house for the jump-hour display. The steel case measures 34mm wide, 9.7mm thick and 45mm from lug to lug. Sapphire glass, a display back and a 5 ATM rating complete the construction. A fitted FKM rubber strap follows the case closely, with a butterfly clasp and micro-adjustment. This profile covers the Steel configuration of the permanent collection.
