MeisterSinger – BELL HORA Enamel Edition

MeisterSingerBELL HORA White Enamel Dial Limited Edition 2023

 It all began with a single hand

MeisterSinger mechanical watches display the time in a traditional way and with great precision, using only one hand. This hand is longer and more tapered than a conventional hour hand and points exactly to the fine, five-minute markings on the edge of the dial, just like the first mechanical timepieces used to, right up to the 18th century.

MeisterSinger watches thus literally point to that one fleeting moment in time, our true reality, thereby conveying a tranquil sense of time, as a great many enthusiastic MeisterSinger customers will testify.

The highly exclusive Bell Hora Edition perfectly captures this symbiosis with its carefully designed historical look, a genuine old-style enamel dial, and a sophisticated, state-of-the-art module that chimes beautifully on the hour.

Popular Bell Hora

The Bell Hora has drawn a great deal of attention due to its unusual “sonnerie au passage” chiming complication. Exactly on the hour, the Bell Hora produces a friendly chime, alerting the wearer to the passing of time without having to look at the dial.

It was a natural decision for MeisterSinger to carefully choose a historical style when designing this unique edition watch, which harks back to the days of early pocket watches.

The glossy white enamel dial, the fine serif typeface, the red and blue highlights, and the single hand blued by heat in an elaborate process make the Bell Hora Edition a unique visual experience.

The art of enameling

With the Bell Hora Edition, MeisterSinger is again presenting a timepiece that features a delicate material, i.e., enamel.

The manufacturing of genuine enamel dials is an ancient science in itself. Since the Middle Ages, clock dials have been enameled using a sophisticated mixture of glass-forming silicates and oxides. Today, however, only very few people still understand this elaborate, highly complex process.

Like a hand-decorated or meticulously calibrated movement, an enamel dial is a sign of the human attention to detail that distinguishes the finished product from the bulk of industrially made watches.

It takes several days to finally complete the process, which means a great deal of work and almost as many rejects. Only a few of the painstakingly crafted dials are considered when finally assembling the watch.

Each enamel dial is uniquely crafted, making the Bell Hora Edition a highly coveted collector’s item.

The MS Bell is based on the Swiss-made Sellita SW200 movement. Over a 60-minute period, it gathers the energy it requires to produce a precise, well-dosed strike against the sound fork located behind the dial.

The pusher above the crown makes sure the bell does not toll for the happy owner if not desired, as the chime can be switched off by simply pulling the pusher out. A black marking shows whether the watch is going to remain silent for the time being.
