Oris - BaselWorld 2012: Chet Baker Limited Edition

The score of Funny Valentine, Chet Baker's most memorable interpretation and the piece with which he is identified by the general public, forms the backdrop to the black dial of the Swiss watchmaker's new timepiece, while at 12 o'clock there is a small key of G. On the caseback is the silhouette of Baker with his trumpet and the number of the limited edition, 1929 in all, like the year the famous American trumpeter was born. A further reference to music is represented by a mechanical metronome, an instrument used to measure musical tempo or rhythmic scansion, offered inside the box containing the watch. Equipped with an Oris calibre 733 automatic movement, based on the Sellita SW 200, the Chet Baker Limited Edition is on sale for €1,480.
