Jardur Bezelmeter
More actions
The Jardur Bezelmeter is the 1940s aviation chronograph of the Jardur Import Company, founded in New York in 1937 by Samuel Klepper to supply cockpit instruments and sold through military post exchanges and ship's stores. A steel case around a hand-wound Valjoux movement carries two aviator's tools: a rotating countdown bezel, set against the hour hand at take-off to show flight time remaining, and a red degreemeter scale graduated 0 to 180 in 15-degree steps, which at the standard three degrees per second measured a turn more reliably than a compass swinging under inertia. Jardur sold it as two close models: the 950 first, recognised by its oval pushers and cathedral hands, then the 960, with a 38 mm waterproof case and round pump pushers.
