Belchengruppe 1247 - VISUREN - POLISHED

A watch that combines precision and intuition. The brilliantly polished case surface gleams in the sun like a metallic diamond.

The indices of the 1247 Visuren are not in their usual position, but are virtually rotated by 30 minutes. This irritation changes the way we read the time: intuition based on the position of the hands becomes more important here than the precision of a chronometer dial.

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 Visuren. The date ring is printed exclusively with Belchen Grotesk, Belchengruppe's in-house font. Equipped with 31 jewels, Incabloc shock protections 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.
