Belchengruppe 1247 - 120° - BRUSHED

Despite its precision, it represents a playful new interpretation of what time really means. The brushed surface accentuates the clear lines of the case by contrasting them with light-reflecting effects.

The "120°" dial divides the hour into three sections. It is therefore a period of 20 minutes and not a quarter of an hour, which always seems to pass too quickly anyway. At the same time, it represents the three daily stages: morning, afternoon, and night.

Our highly contrasting watches play with archetypes and thus shed new light on the known.

The case adopts classic watch shapes, but creates an independent character thanks to clear facets and edges. The shape is cut from solid, the curves are reduced to a minimum, the watches appear almost brutal at first glance. Nevertheless, the design seems pleasantly familiar thanks to the play on familiar basic types.

The bracelet comes with quick release spring bars and has a single-sided locking seam on the crown side, typical of Belchengruppe.

We use Sellita calibers in our watches. Like our watchmaker, Sellita is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds and is one of the largest and best-known Swiss movement manufacturers.

An automatic calibre SW290-1 in the Premium (Top) version runs in the 1247 120°. The date ring is printed exclusively with Belchen Grotesk, Belchengruppe's in-house font. Equipped with 31 jewels, Incabloc shock protection and a frequency of 28,800 A/H (4 Hz), it has a power reserve of at least 38 hours with an average rate deviation of ±4 seconds per day.

And if something needs repairing: spare parts are available free of charge, any watchmaker can order them and get your favorite timepiece back in working order.
