MeisterSinger Bell Hora 20th Anniversary Blue Dial

MeisterSinger was founded in 2001 and takes its name from a group of middle-class poets and singers from the 15th and 16th Century. The brand’s logo is a fermata, the symbol for rest in musical notation. MeisterSinger is heavily inspired by the first mechanical clocks of the Middle Ages as they only had one hand. During this period of history, people had no need for precise timing, so an idea of the time would suffice. By adopting this philosophy, the brand allows the wearer to focus on the quality of their time, rather than the quantity. This places an acute awareness on how time is spent instead of how quickly it passes. MeisterSinger aims for simplicity and clarity in all of their designs. The classic styles of the brand are timeless with little regard for trends and styles. 

The Bell Hora collection revives the quaint and partially forgotten “Sonnerie au passage” complication. This “sonnerie au passage” function means that the watch will chime on the hour, every hour, to notify the wearer of the new time. However, if required, this feature can be switched off. 

Core Features of the Bell Hora Collection:

• The watches in the Bell Hora Collection all have the iconic MeisterSinger single hand and five-minute time increment indices.
• These models all feature a sapphire crystal to protect the dial.
• Each watch in the collection has an exhibition case back, allowing the wearer to observe and enjoy the movement that powers the watch. This is made of mineral glass. 
• All of the Bell Hora watches are water-resistant up to 50 metres (5 bar).
