Isotope OVNI Jumping Hour - Founders Edition

London, UK – August 21, 2025 – Isotope is proud to unveil the OVNI Jumping Hour – Founders Edition, a bold, space-age timepiece commemorating the brand’s 10th anniversary. This limited release marks the culmination of three years of development and a decade of innovation under the leadership of founder José Miranda.

A Thoughtful Approach to Collecting

Initially capped at 150 pieces, the Founders Edition will now be offered through a stressfree pre-order window, rather than a lottery or flash release. This ensures that every true collector has the opportunity to secure one.

• Pre-orders open: August 25, 2025
• Pre-orders close: September 13, 2025
• Price: £1,500 (£1,800 incl. VAT)
• Future Pricing: From £2,400 (£2,880 incl. VAT)
• Delivery: February/March 2026

Each Founders Edition will be individually numbered, underscoring its exclusivity and significance. Once this edition is closed, it will never be produced again.

Why the Founders Edition Matters

The OVNI Founders Edition is more than just another watch release; it is a pivotal part of the Isotope story. By facilitating the production of proprietary components, this edition symbolizes the brand’s origins and marks a significant milestone for future collectors.

This is what watch collecting should be: thoughtful, unhurried, and deeply rewarding. The OVNI Founders Edition is our way of celebrating those who share this passion with us.” — José Miranda, Co-Founder, Isotope.

A Legacy of Innovation

Over the past decade, Isotope has consistently challenged conventions with groundbreaking designs:

• Rider Jumping Hour (2016) – the pioneering debut

• Goutte d’Eau & Hydrium – acclaimed diving icons

• Moonshot – introducing signature moondiscs

• Flyway – featuring the hyperbolic paraboloid sapphire crystal

The OVNI evolves this legacy, transforming the moondisc concept into a new language of time through Isotope’s proprietary jumping disc module.

Design Beyond Earth

The OVNI embodies both heritage and imagination, with design details that feel futuristic yet wearable:

• Saucer-shaped case inspired by UFO silhouettes
• Doughnut-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating
• Luminous bespoke numerals and sculptural dial presence
• Swiss La Joux-Perret G101 Soigné movement, enhanced with Isotope’s exclusive jumping disc complication
• 68-hour power reserve with ±7 seconds/day accuracy

An Unidentified Object on Your Wrist

As its name suggests, OVNI—derived from the Iberian/French abbreviation for UFO— represents more than a watch. It is a living, moving work of art, a celebration of ten years of Isotope’s independence, and a bold statement for the future.
