BaselWorld 2012: Bell & Ross Company has introduced a novelty - WW1 Heure Sauntante Watch in two versions from pink gold and platinum in a limited number
The company Bell Ross has presented at the annual international exhibition BaselWorld 2012 a new watch WW1 Heure Sauntante, presented in two versions in pink gold and platinum, every model - in a limited edition.
To manufacture a new model the wizards of Bell Ross enlisted the help of designer Vincent Calarese, a feature of the watch became the complement in the mechanism in the original form of complication.
The peculiarity of the complication is that the indication is not indexed in the usual movement of the hands that points to hours, but with the help of a static aperture through which shine hour indexes. Although, if you want to know our opinion, in terms of design and style the watch was not anything special, and the result was the usual bright, classic design, no frills. It is possible that many of you will find new items fairly simple in terms of appearance. But that being said, a matter of taste. Most likely, the "feature" of the watch will be its limited edition, which looks like a more elaborate marketing ploy rather than a presentation of a truly unique watch.
The model WW1 Heure Sautante Pink Gold is based on an automatic mechanism with a jumping hour. The bridges of the mechanism are decorated with a Cotes de Geneve pattern. Screws - are made of blued steel. Functions: hours indicator, located at 12 o’clock position, minutes - a central hand, power reserve indicator – at the 6 o’clock position.
The case of the model with a diameter of 42 mm is made of 18 carat gold with a satin polishing. The back side is sapphire.
The watch dial is made of opal pearl. The glass, covering the dial, is sapphire with an antiglare coating. The watch water-resistant is 100 meters.
The watch strap of the model is made of genuine alligator leather. The buckle is made of 18 carat pink gold. The watch is released in a limited edition of 50 instances.
