SPACEMAN – JUMP HOUR

EL SPACEMAN – HORAS SALTANTES

Introducidos en 1977, y Mas raros que un Hipopotamo en un charco,

LA TERCERA SERIE del Spaceman

fué una version  horas saltantes  bastante peculiar con discos rotantes

la caja con un diseño tambien ecléctico, y asimetrico a semejanza del casco de un astronauta,

Igual que  sus hermanos.

Venian originalmente en dos colores rojo o azul

Mas tarde al parecer tambien se comercializo una version con la caja en Acero y Negro pulido.

No obstante, Al contrario de los Spaceman  Ovales y los Adacieuse, de los que si ha habido un fondo disponible en estado *Nos*, en los ultimos años,este no es el caso.

El Spaceman jump hour es extremadamente raro y escaso.

Apenas Han quedado unidades de este modelo disponibles en el mercado en buen estado,y Mas que probablemente, sean estas de la coleccion de  Watchismo , de las pocas unidades que conserven su estado original

Mi opinion personal es que estos otros modelos de la galería ,

Se les ha pulido la caja intencionadamente «a posteriori»

para disimular los inevitables arañazos en el acabado fruto del uso o la edad,

y asi hacerlos mas presentables

Ejemplo

Cornavin spaceman

Como podeis apreciar,

el sistema de discos interiores podia venir en color blanco o negro como en el caso de

estos scans de gran tamaño

(haz click en la imagen para agrandar)

aunque Aparentemente tambien podian ser de color Naranja

Sin duda uno de los Spaceman jump hours mas bonitos que he visto, ya que la  la combinacion de los discos en naranja

con la caja en negro, resalta el conjunto fabricado por Catena

Para comparar, exactamente la misma unidad,  

pero con discos en blanco y Marcada  Tressa Lux

THE SPACEMAN – JUMP HOUR

Originally in two colors,  Red or Blue
(Photos: Mitch Greenblatt, Watchismo)

 

Introduced in 1977,

And Rare as a yellow lobster,

The Third Spaceman Range of models,

was also a rather peculiar jumping hours version,
with rotating disks.

The case,

Maybe with a much too eclectic look , and asymmetric shaped,

was designed in the likeness of an astronaut’s helmet

like his brothers.

But  seems later there was a Stainless steel and  black glossy model available.

However, Unlike the Spaceman Oval and Adacieuse,

of which theres been around a good bunch of them in  *Nos* condition in recent years,

Here its not the case.

The Spaceman jump hour model is terribly scarce,

and units of this model available in the market in original condition are unlikely.

Most probably, this couple from the collection of  Watchismo,

might be of the very few units, that retain their original state.

Normally when a unit pops up the net,  it comes washed out from colors.

My personal opinion is that these other models next in the gallery,

had the case been polished intentionally by owners,

in order to hide the inevitable scratches in the paint finish due to the use or age,

and thus make them more presentable for sale.

Also as you can see,

the inner disk system came Normally in White or Black,

But apparently though, they could also be Orange , being this model my favourite.

Without doubt one of the most beautiful Jump hours Spaceman I’ve seen,

as the combination of orange discs in the black polished case , highlights the set made by Catena

For comparison, in the gallery just the very same unit , but with white discs and marketed Tressa Lux
