The price difference

Just to help out on info :
'
Platinum is 30 thirty times rarer than gold.

But a platinum ring will cost 2 times more than a white gold ring of the same size.

Platinum watches are rather expensive and are generally enjoyed by a niche market. Some popular ones have been made by Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Tiffany, Vacheron Constantin, Mont Blanc, Omega, Rado, IWC, A. Alange & Sohne, Daniel Roth, etc.

But some untypical brands have jumped on the bandwagon eg. Bell & Ross :



Bell & Ross Vintage Jumping Hour Watch Line (Nov 2008)

A jumping hour watch is nifty device. It can be argued that a jumping hours format is even more legible than the traditional analog hand format. Essentially, jumping hours is a hybrid of analog and digital. The hours portion of the watch is done through a hour display window. There is a disc underneath the dial that features the hour numbers. The next hour literally "jumps" when the previous ends. This is the digital component. So when the time is 4:59, the next minute the 4 in the hour window jumps to 5 rather than gradually move to 5. Then, you have the analog minutes hands that revolves around the dial like a gauge. Do you have the benefit of quickly knowing the hour, and having the graceful analog indication of the minutes.

In addition to this, the Bell & Ross Vintage Jumping Hours line features a well inserted power reserve indicator. There are currently four watches in the line who share the same automatic mechanical movement that dispenses with such superfluous functions like the date or a seconds display. The watches are really nice in style and offer what I'd picture a successful industrialist would like to wear. The Bell & Ross Vintage line is really connected by a certain case style, and numeral font, which these watches share. Being on the higher end of the Bell & Ross line, these watches are constructed from either platinum or gold, or a mixture of the two.
