Bell & Ross Vintage 123 Jumping Hour
More actions
The Bell & Ross Vintage 123 Jumping Hour pairs the round Vintage 123 case with a jump-hour complication Bell & Ross developed with watchmaker Vincent Calabrese: a disc jumps the hour through a window at 12 o'clock, freeing a central hand to sweep the minutes, while a gauge at 6 o'clock reads the self-winding movement's power reserve, on an ETA 2892-A2 base. (Watch Wiki) Bell & Ross numbered the earliest run to 99 pieces apiece in platinum and 18-karat rose gold, on a cream guilloché dial, with paperwork for surviving platinum examples dated into April 2002. (Barnebys) Bell & Ross published no reference for the platinum piece; dealers use the shorthand "123JH," while one specialist has catalogued a rose-gold example as "123JHR-R00023." (European Watch Co.) The complication distinguishes it from the plain three-hand Bell & Ross Vintage 123, which shares its case but reads the time conventionally.
