This Buler Super Nova had been on my wish list for a while as I love jump hours and this one especially because its bold and big and has a second hand rotating in the centre. Finding one at the right price was difficult. Considered a fashion watch in its day it was fitted with a baumgartner 582 pin lever movement. These things are designed not to be serviced. The one I won needed a new click to hold the tension in the mainspring. I luckily found a donor movement and soon installed the click but the watch would still not run. I dismantled it cleaned and reassembled twice before it would finally run without stopping. It did not show great traces on the timergrapher but then I did not really expect it to. It does however keep good time over 24 hour periods when I wear it. I have to say that this is my favourite Jump hour in my collection.
