With a melodious “sonnerie au passage” on the hour, the Bell Hora is reviving an almost forgotten complication. It always chimes just once to tell its wearer that a new hour has begun. The Bell Hora has received the Red Dot Design Award for its overall design concept. The leather straps come with a high-quality doublefolding clasp.
The dial of the Bell Hora in blue has a fine sunburst finish that creates a soft, iridescent light effect. The geometry of the dial features a spiral-shaped design. Together with the additional numerals 13–24 arranged in a circle, the dial provides an intuitive overview of the entire course of the day. The bell symbol in the lower half of the dial refers to the otherwise unseen feature of this timepiece: The chiming of the bell on the hour.
The stainless steel case is 43 mm in diameter, water-resistant up to 5 bar, and fitted with a sapphire glass over the dial that is domed on one side. A pusher is located above the crown at 2 o’clock that can be used to switch the chiming of the Bell Hora on or off. The movement can be easily viewed through the fourfold screwed glass exhibition back as it performs its high-precision task.
