MeisterSinger Edition Anton Bruckner
200 years of Anton Bruckner: Edition clock for the anniversary of the great symphonist
DIAL
The dial design could well have been created during Bruckner’s lifetime. Bruckner’s bold, personal signature blends in with the historicizing dial design. The numbers 01 to 09 are assigned to the keys of his nine symphonies. The intricately heat-blued hand turns its rounds in true MeisterSinger style.
CASE
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. An embossed silhouette of Bruckner on the case back perfectly rounds off the image of the edition watch. In addition, each clock is engraved with the consecutive edition number.
MOVEMENT
Inside the edition watch ticks the automatic MS Bell movement with the striking module developed by MeisterSinger. It is based on the Swiss movement Sellita SW200. Within 60 minutes, it collects the energy for a precise, well-dosed strike against the sound fork located behind the dial. The mechanism can be disengaged using the pusher above the crown for the quiet hours. If this is pulled out, a black marking on the pusher indicates that the watch will remain silent for the next hour jumps. The rotor provides the watch with a power reserve of 38 hours.
FEATURES
Anton Bruckner (1824-1896), born in Linz, Austria, was a successful organist and important symphonist. His musical legacy – including his monumental nine symphonies – has left a lasting mark on the world of classical music and makes him a timeless master whose influence remains unbroken even after two centuries. Anton Bruckner will be 200 years old on September 4, 2024. To mark this special birthday, MeisterSinger is presenting an exclusive edition limited to 50 pieces; the Anton Bruckner edition.
READING A SINGLE-HAND WATCH
Each line in the outer circle of MeisterSinger’s single-hand watches stands for exactly 5 minutes. The hand is therefore both an hour hand and a minute hand. For example, if the hand points to the fifth stroke after ten, the time is 10:25.
The line hierarchy typical of MeisterSinger single-hand watches additionally divides the time display into half and quarter hours, thus making it easier to read off the time accurately.
