Good ad find Bobbee.  We can say, based on this new ad, the "White Prince" model name was used as early as September 15th, 1933.  We don't have any jump watch model beyond 1932 in the watch database.  
EDIT: All Jump Hour ads in main database are 1932. The decades ads thread for 1930's has a couple "new" ads for Jump Hour from 1932, and now the new 1933 ad Bobbee found above.

Well at best, IMO, based on that one ad, it may have a "real name" by september 1933.  Where are the 1933 watch examples though.  Has anyone seen an any example of this "jump" model dated 1933?   This is one of the challanges for me to "confirm" anything ran in a single third party advertiser's set of ads.  One ad, two ads, ten ads- it's still only one advertise stating this name.  I would give the ad two ticks for tentative, until another ad from a different advertiser comes along.

It is funny how suddenly one ad is not enough for an ID.
Such a shame.

To Bob's point, we named the President Madison and RE named the Surrey based on exactly one ad from one newspaper.

Just sayin'

I'm confused...LOL  Are we talking about the new ad for the White Prince and how that relates to subject watch?  We have ads for the Jump in 1932 naming it the Jump.  Subject watch is 1932.   All jumps in the watch database are 1932.  The new White Prince ad, whether there were one or one hundred of them found in September 1933 has no bearing on subject watch model ID- but the new ad will be very useful if we ever find a 1933 jump watch.
