About the model

The Maen × Nico Leonard is a limited edition, created in collaboration between the Maen brand and watch enthusiast Nico Leonard. This model features a jump-hour complication, meaning mechanical time display through hour windows and a rotating minute disc, instead of classic hands. This form of time display gives the dial a minimalist and historically inspired character.

The case has a tonneau (barrel) shape with dimensions of approximately 34 mm × 45 mm and a thickness of 9.7 mm. The profile is relatively thin and ergonomically designed for comfortable wear. The case surface combines brushed and polished finishes, highlighting its structural form.

The dial has a sunray finish and is available in three color variants. Time is displayed using two windows: one for jumping hours and one for minutes on a disc. The windows are integrated into the dial design to match the case contours. Below the minute window, a logo is placed, complementing the overall aesthetic of the dial.

The watch is powered by an automatic Sea-Gull ST1721 movement modified for jump-hour functionality with a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. This movement combines a traditional automatic mechanism with the jumping hour complication.

The model comes on an integrated FKM rubber strap with a butterfly clasp and is offered in three dial and strap color combinations.

The Maen × Nico Leonard Jump Hour is designed for those seeking a mechanically unconventional way of displaying time, a distinctive case shape, and a minimalist dial reflecting a historical complication in a modern interpretation.

About the brand

MAEN Watches is an independent watch brand founded in 2017 by Dutch designers Jules van Helvoort and Sebastiaan Cortjaens. The idea originated in Stockholm, where they both lived and decided to create a brand combining Nordic simplicity with Dutch sensibility for design and detail.

MAEN focuses on modern mechanical watches inspired by classic shapes from the 60s and 70s. Model lines such as Hudson, Skymaster, or Manhattan draw on historical archetypes, which the brand interprets in a contemporary way – with compact dimensions, precise craftsmanship, and Swiss movements.

Thanks to its clean design, direct approach to customers, and emphasis on quality, the brand quickly established itself among the most interesting new European microbrand manufacturers.
