It's In The CardsThe King & Queen Jump Hour Automatic
This
watch is based on the classic playing card characters of the King and
Queen of Hearts. The watches feature hands of cards to depict the
minutes while the hours literally jump into position in the Royal
Breast.
The
use of the playing cards symbolizes the transitory nature of fortune -
lucky streaks, while always welcome, are only as short lived as those
runs of bad luck. The watch is a gentle reminder to keep your cards
close to your chest, but to be bold and go all-in when fate has dealt
you a winning hand!

The minutes are depicted as hand of cards, for the sake of clarity only 10 minute intervals are marked:
There
is a grey card-footprint on the dial to allow you to judge the minutes
between the markers. You can see how far the leading or trailing edge of
the cards is from the footprint shape to read the minutes:

Mechanical Movement
This
watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement. The watch is
wound either by turning the winding crown on the left hand side of the
case, or (more simply) by the everyday motion of your wrist. A weight on
the mechanism rotates in response to normal movement and transfers this
energy to winding up the mainpspring (if you hold the watch in your
hand and gently rock it back and forth you can feel this weight moving).
