HEBDOMAS - BALADIN
Sober in it's essential form, the tecnical and creative aspects are not missing in the "BALADIN" watch. it's the continuity of the Swiss watch-makers art , and also a contribution to the horological, and mechanical complication concepts. The simplicity of the dial, practically without hands, makes everything that more easier to tell THE TIME.
here are some of the reasons why:
1) The small opening, or window, on the dial through which a number or letter appears, indicates the exact time.
2) Opposite the opening, a small arrow which turns at 360°, indicates the minutes, whilst the single hand indicates the seconds.
3) The perfect study of the dial synchronizes also the rotation of numbers and letters in the opening on the dial.
every three hours a number is succeeded by a letter which reads as follows:
T = 3H S = 6H N = 9H M = 12pm or noon
Such alternation constitutes an original synchronization between past and present, and bring back memories of the sacred numbers which in olden times were not considered in an abstract concepts but instead were closely linked to objects that offered other calculations. These numbers were always surrounded by rather magical and mysterious values. For instance the number three with it's multiple and esotheric values is covered by the appearance of a letter in it's place. The three alchemistic and dividing factors of the world: the sky, earth, and water, plus the babylon triade ANU, BEL, EA of the eastern semitics are all represented in the Baladin dial.
