Short post, but here the images say it all. If there was ever a gaudy watch that I wanted, it would be this watch. I typically shy away from euphemistically decadent watches such as this, but I am oddly drawn to the golden hues and texturing of this special limited edition watch from Bell Ross. Take the extrem [...]
This photo montage (OK, montage light - three images) gives youre a really good idea of the design influences behind the Bell Ross BR series of aviation watches. It is also a good way of seeing a brief history of airplane instrument panels.The first Bell Ross BR01 watch focused on the middle era, wh [...]
Who needs a gold diving watch you ask? Well no one really needs one, but that isnt the point. The standard Bell Ross BR-02 is the active version of the serious diving watch line. The version in gold is the dressy-sexy version that alludes to deep diving, but is meant for more congen [...]
I wont hold it against Bell Ross that most of their retailers? didnt quite correctly get the Spanish version of limited edition here. They got the limitada part right, but edition in Spanish is edicion (which an accent mark over the c that I cant seem to figure out how to type). That is ok, because the tenor of this wa [...]
The newly released Bell Ross BRS range of watches was a beautiful addition to the Bell Ross line which is typically focused on instrument watches. The BRS line was strictly fashion oriented in design. You could see this trend starting with the BR-03 that was a smaller (42mm) size version of the BR-01 (46mm). The BRS is smaller yet at 39mm in diameter. Thoug [...]
Well hello there Bell Ross! I see you have a little new card up your sleeve this year. I didnt really think youd get too many buyers for your exorbitantly expensive uber-tourbillon watch with unnecessary features like a trust indicator. I trust you enough already You really just wanted to do a design study and get people excited abo [...]
This is the chronograph version of the venerable Bell Ross Geneva 123, which I discussed here. The pre-BR-01 Bell Ross is a testament to the design finesse of the French watch firm. Although the Geneva 126 is merely a bi-compax chronograph version of the watch, the look is very different.The beautiful number fonts remain, but with the 126 you [...]
French designed Bell Ross watches just dont cease to impress me. This company is on a roll! I cannot wait to see where there will be in a few years. Even before they become popular with the release of the BR-01 line of watches, I was a fan. Talk about being ahead of the curve right? Well Bell Ross realizes the wide appeal of the BR-01 line, and have creates many derivatives. There was th [...]
Sometimes I cant help but express my fondness for a watch. Those particular models that stay with you in your mind. Maybe you had your eye on it a while back. Its not that you lost interest, but perhaps other watches came and went in the meantime. And after all is said and done, those reliable watches are always there to make you happy. Before the Be [...]
Behold the BR 02. The Success of the Bell Ross BR 01 really brought Bell Ross back into the ether. The small company was basically sharing their name with Sinn, and selling Sinn watches to different markets. There was nothing wrong with the Bell Ross watches, but they werent as innovative as they were mere quality time tellers. Then a few years ago the airplane instrum [...]
