2012/11/05 - Fortis the new B-47 Mysterious Planets Limited Edition

 

HOURS DO NOT STRIKE FOR A HAPPY MAN

 

“The magic and blissful detachment from humdrum concerns appears simply neverending on contemplation of the miracle of the infinite vastness of outer space. The stars and the planets are harbingers of hope on the horizon, heralding happiness to come. Never reaching the end…. heaven on earth.” - Karsten K. Krebs -

In co-operation with the architect and designer Prof. Karsten Krebs a watch with a jumping hour was created. “Mysterious Planets” is the name of this automatic specialty. The hour numerals jump up unexpectedly and coincidentally in one of the five dial windows which symbolize the orbits of the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter around the Sun. The specially designed FORTIS caliber F-2024 is the driving force for the rotating dial which displays always a new look in the course of 12 hours.
