Along with about fifty other ID's minimum, Geoff.
I think my ad search ends here, seems like a waste of time if I have to "double up" every single ad, I spend forty to sixty hours a week searching, and new ads are getting harder to find, so if twice as many are needed for an ID I just cannot spare the time any more.

Apart from anything else, the ad posted by me is the ONLY ad anywhere on this site or in ad searches anywhere, that shows the Step-Sided Jump-Hour watch.

All other ads are for rectangular or six sided, and we have 2 for rectangular, and only one for the six sided watch, all of which are newspaper ads.

aha...well then I think we have a real name for this one...and without any 1932 ads showing it as generic Jump name, I'm good with an ID of White Prince.  I though there was a 1932 ad for this style, but I guess not.

Forgot to say, a perfect match with watch and band, and in beautiful condition too.

Geoff, have you stopped slavering yet?   :^D

Resubmitted for ID review based on new "White Prince" ad.  There's no other ad for this Jump case style, and the new ad is within 2 yrs of subject watch date.  Maybe they didn't get named the "White Prince" untill Sept 1933- but we have no ad indicationg they were simply called "Jump Hour" in 1932.

I'm good with 1932 White Prince ID.

William, there is an Ad from the New Castle News date July 29, 1932 from Jack Gearson Jewelers (it was posted on this site for one of the Jump Hour watches previously) that advertises the "Bulova Jump-Hour Watches." I have a copy. The case in the Ad is like mine - a non-stepped model and the case has a Patent date of 1924 but the Font 29 movement is date-stamped 1932. I think the non-stepped models in 1932 were called Jump Hour and the later stepped cases in 1933 with a completely different movement in them were called White Prince. That's my guess anyway. For whatever its worth....my two-bits!

Calling ReverendRob!

Do you have an idea of the ebauche name for this one?

The 1932 Calendar watch 10AC is also based on this movement, and it would be nice to know the base movement.

Cheers, Bob.
