FORTIS B-47 Mysterious Planets Limited Edition

Posted on by

In co-operation with the architect and designer Prof. Karsten Krebs, Swiss watch brand FORTIS introduces B-47 mysterious planets, a limited edition watch with a jumping hour. The “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. 500 pieces each, individually numbered. Automatic caliber F-2024. Swiss made.
