Introduction
Recognized as one of three winners of the Young Talent Competition 2016, Anton Suhanov was destined to be a great watchmaker, and so when inspiration struck him to create a watch based on the dashboard of a car it was always going to be something creative and unique. Launched in 2021 as a limited edition series of 20 pieces, the Racer Jumping Hour GMT was exactly that, creative and unique. Modelled after the speedometer and tachometer, the Racer Jumping Hour GMT’s dial features twin blue retrograde subdials for the local hours and minutes, with a jumping hour GMT display that sits at 12 o’clock on the grey guilloche engraved dial that sports a grain d’orge pattern, which links high-end luxury watchmaking with the automotive world in this car-inspired timepiece. Finished with a date at 6 o’clock, this timepiece’s display is packed with information, just like that of a car would be. Boasting a 39mm stainless steel case shaped like a Reuleaux polygon (a square with rounded sides), the Racer Jumping Hour GMT features a bezel that is set with eight screws that further this industrialized aesthetic.

THE DIAL
Boasting a grey guilloche engraved Grain d'orge baseplate that houses the jump hour GMT function along with its date display, the Racer Jumping Hour GMT's dial is wonderfully unique, with the blue anodized subdials for its retrograde hours and minutes standing out with strong effect.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Thanks to the proportions of its stainless steel case, such as its thin bezel and large dial, the Racer Jumping Hour GMT looks larger on the wrist, at first glance, than it wears, with its 39mm diameter and short lugs allowing it to create quite a pleasant wrist presence.

Our Perspective
A wonderfully unique design from an area of inspiration that Anton was certainly not the first to be struck by, the Racer Jumping Hour GMT's design clearly shows his pedigree as a watchmaker and designer, given his time as chief technical designer with Konstantin Chaykin.
