OVNI Jumping Hour (Founders Edition)

The Founders Edition – A Thoughtful Approach

When we first announced OVNI, the Founders Edition was limited to 150 pieces. But with such overwhelming enthusiasm, it became clear that restricting availability so tightly would be unfair to true collectors.

Instead of stressful lotteries or drops, we are introducing a stress-free pre-order window:

  • Pre-orders open August 25, 2025

  • Pre-orders close September 13, 2025

This ensures that everyone who genuinely wants to secure a Founders Edition has the opportunity to do so, without unnecessary rush or competition. Each piece will be individually numbered, underscoring its exclusivity.


Why the Founders Edition Matters

The Founders Edition is not just another release — it’s the cornerstone of OVNI’s story. Created to help support the production of the components developed over the past three years, it will never be produced again.

  • Price: £1,500 (£1,800 incl. VAT)

  • Future pricing: From £2,400 (£2,880 incl. VAT), depending on design, materials, and collaborations

  • Delivery: Estimated for February/March 2026

  • Exclusivity: Each Founders Edition is individually numbered, marking it as a true collector’s piece

This is your chance to own a piece of Isotope history.


A Legacy of Innovation

The OVNI is more than a watch — it’s the embodiment of Isotope’s 10th anniversary and a celebration of founder José Miranda’s creative journey.

From the pioneering Rider Jumping Hour (2016), to the acclaimed Goutte d’Eau and Hydrium, to more recent innovations like the Moonshot (with its signature moondiscs) and Flyway (with its hyperbolic paraboloid sapphire crystal), Isotope has always pushed boundaries.

The OVNI carries this lineage forward by evolving the moondisc concept into a new language of time, powered by our proprietary jumping disc module. Its design is equally daring:

  • A saucer-shaped case that feels like it belongs among the stars

  • Luminous numerals that bring the dial to life

  • A sculptural presence that balances futuristic vision with wearability

As its name suggests — drawn from the Iberian/French abbreviation for UFO — the OVNI is an unidentified object on your wrist, uniting heritage and imagination in a single bold creation.


The Collector’s Journey Awaits

The OVNI Founders Edition marks a milestone: a strictly limited release commemorating our first decade of independent watchmaking. Each piece is both a symbol of our beginnings and a future cornerstone of the Isotope story.

With pre-orders opening soon, there’s no need to rush. Take the time to savor what watch collecting should be: thoughtful, unhurried, and deeply rewarding.

An OVNI is waiting for you.
