The 12/24-Hour Display
As the maison’s first creation, MERIDAN VX01-E introduces a proprietary mechanical 12/24-hour jumping display complication.Unlike a conventional watch, which repeats the same 12-hour cycle twice, MÉRIDION mechanically alternates between two time-reading formats. From 1:00 AM to 12:59 PM, the dial displays time in a 12-hour format. At 1:00 PM, the display instantly switches to a 24-hour format, before automatically returning to the 12-hour format at 1:00 AM.These two instant transitions make the AM / PM distinction immediately legible, without adding any secondary indication to the dial. More than a classic 24-hour watch, MÉRIDION evolves the identity of its dial throughout the day, balancing clarity, visual transformation, and nocturnal presence.
