The «CURTA 24h» - Revival of the Jumping 24-Hour Display
Swiss Craftsmanship in the unique CURTA Design
The 24h CURTA watch combines the heritage of mechanical precision with a modern, innovative design inspired by the iconic CURTA calculator. Its development pays homage to the history of the CURTA calculator and its inventor, Curt Herzstark.
Origin of the 24h Complication
The idea of the 24-hour display is based on an additional complication first conceived in 1924 by Paul Golay for pocket watches. This revolutionary principle was later integrated into wristwatches by the brand Gruen and successfully used for decades.
A Completely New Module
For the CURTA watch, we have redeveloped this historic complication with a jumping 24-hour day/night display (01 to 12 transitioning to 13 to 24) and implemented it in the distinctive CURTA look.
To reflect the unique CURTA design, a new 24h module was created, based on the Swiss automatic movement Ronda R150. This module integrates the characteristic number display of the CURTA calculator with its signature window arrangement. The hour numerals for the morning (AM) are printed in black, while those for the afternoon (PM) appear in red.
