Our jump date shows exactly where today sits in the entire month.

The red dot marks the current day — instantly visible,advancing one step every night at midnight.
You don't just read the date. You understand where you are in time.
This distinctive date concept has been part of a.b.art's design language since 1992.
A Clear Start to Every Day.
Midnight. The red dot moves forward — a precise, visible transition into a new day.
Each morning, the date is not hidden in a small window,but clearly placed within the structure of the month.
A small detail — that brings a sense of order to every day.
For those who value clarity, precision, and simplicity.
Once you get used to this clarity, it’s hard to go back.
