The rare and beautiful Jump Hour.  One of my all time Vintage Bulova favs.

Be careful when removing the dials.  I'm fairly certain that the hour wheel is reverse threaded.

Very nice!  This is one of my all time favorite models.  It's just so different from everything else.

The Cross is the sign of a Swiss patent.

 Under the cross, I believe you will see the maker's mark: FHF, or Fabrique Horlogerie de Fontainemelon. This is the calibre 29. Since it is under the patent mark on the added plate for the complication,  this leads me to believe the entire design is by them, as opposed to an ebauche modified by Bulova. An excellent example and not often found in good condition.

Thanks Rob   For as dirty as it is, it's running OK- just a tad fast.  The little round thingie that rotates back and forth doesn't seem to spin as far as it probably should  (sorry for the technical jargon).  :)
