icymi, good article by Fratello. Watch chimes once on the hour unless you turn it off. An appealing gimmick and dial but seems quite pricey. Blue dial option. article with chime sound here

Definitely something you don't see to often and not a great "tone" to the bell. Add that you'd have to adjust to reading the time on a one hander and it all feels like it's trying too hard to me.

Just saw the review on Fratello about this watch. Definitely quite a unique piece. We have a MeisterSinger AD here in Vancouver. I have checked the watches out on occasion, but not that impressed. Neither am I too impressed with that bell.

chrono24 photo. The small crown turns bell on/off. A watchmaker at MS made the jumping hour module for the Salt hora. Now re-engineered for the Bell Hora.

That's a neat concept. Occasionally it's nice to see pieces like this pop up, thinking outside the box.

I like what they've done with the dial and numbers. Those are not concentric circles. They "spin" towards the middle if you follow the direction from 01. Or one might imagine they rotate out from the middle, like the bell sound. The indices are 5 minute intervals between the hours so you can tell the time quite accurately.
