What is an inverse hop table?

Let's make do with this explanation.

What do you think of a mechanical watch? The images floating in most people's minds are the hour hand, the minute hand and the second hand, which rotate repeatedly along the scale of the circular dial. What do you think if the hands of a watch do not follow the dial scale, but move back and forth in a fan-shaped track?

If we can carefully examine all the clock works of the past dynasties, we should find that although many watches have exquisite watchmaking techniques, innovative performance inventions and beautiful and elegant appearance, they have finally disappeared in the ruthless torrent of history and failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the world for collecting souvenirs. What kind of watch can cross the boundaries of time and space and be passed down from generation to generation? In fact, watches are regarded as an artistic creation of time, and courage and creativity are very important factors. Only in this way can we show our unique personality.

After enjoying the top watches with tourbillon and perpetual calendar, it may be time to feel the popular primary complicated watch-reverse jump watch. It breaks through the time-showing way of following the rules, and the pointer running back and forth according to the fan-shaped trajectory is unconventional and nostalgic for the past. When the pointer goes to the end of the fan-shaped display panel, it jumps back to the original point in an instant, and that moment of leap just confirms the secret of reverse jump, which makes time reverse and start all over again. This time, I will show you the true face of the reverse jump watch and see how the watches with different styles can reverse time and space.

what is a rebound?

Compared with tourbillon, Minute Repeater and Perpetual Calendar, the reverse jump is not a very complicated technology, and the price threshold is not too high. Some mechanical watches with a price of about 1, yuan can see simple "reverse jump".

Retrograde, also known as "bouncing back" and "flying back", shows that the pointer takes an arc as its running track and immediately bounces back to the starting point when it reaches the end point, so that the pointer rotation becomes a reciprocating motion, which is different from the general circular motion.

Inverse jump has developed to the point of omnipotence. No matter the second hand, minute hand, hour, date, or even the profit and loss of the moon phase, it may be displayed by inverse jump, and the master of clock design is very happy to assemble different inverse jump functions on the same dial to create a more interesting time operation mode.

The pleasant feeling of the hands flying back in an instant and the amazing design style are all manifestations of the maverick of the reverse-jumping hands watch. It is not so much a watch as a mechanical toy that pleases adults.
