History of Bell & Ross Watches

When it comes to military-inspired luxury watches, the Bell & Ross watches come to mind since this brand shares more than just inspiration. These watches have become more than just a brand in aviation, despite being relatively new in the luxury watches industry. Bell & Ross, a French watchmaking firm, joined forces with a German company specializing in manufacturing aircraft navigation instruments, Sinn. At Atlanta Luxury Watches, we recognize the world-class inventions, designs, and styles of combining the Swiss watchmaking tradition of Bell & Ross and the German ingenuity of Sinn. That is why we offer you an opportunity to experience craftsmanship at its finest.

History

Unlike most luxury watches with a long history dating back several decades, Bell &Ross watches were founded as a university project by two friends, Bruno Belamich (Bell) and Carlos A. Rosillo (Ross), in 1992. The two students at the time shared a similar vision of producing more durable and functional watches by coming up with simple, functional shapes that revolutionized the world of horology.

The Bell & Ross watches are inspired by the technological advancements that have taken place in the military and aviation specifications over time. This has led to the manufacture of luxury watches that have outstanding visual and performance attributes. This has always been the philosophy behind early models such as the Bomb Disposal Type (a wrist armor that made defusing explosives easier) and the Space 1 (the first automatic chronometer ever worn in space). This high level of creativity immediately grabbed the attention of watch enthusiasts as an upcoming trendsetter.

Methods and Values

Bell & Ross watches are taking a different path than other luxury watches since their watches are more of tools. These watches are meant to assist people working in professions where they are faced with extreme conditions such as high temperature, dangerous pressure, or violent acceleration. This means that Bell & Ross watches have incorporated the expertise of bomb disposal experts, pilots, and astronauts for the desired specs of their timepieces, guaranteeing optimum functionality. A great example is the BR 01 model, which resembles the clocks found in the cockpit that have a circle within a square.

To ensure that these watches meet and exceed the required specifications, Bell & Ross have assembled a team of experts with skills in engineering, design, and watchmaking that guarantee users quality that is not compromised by redundancy. This has made Bell & Ross watches build a reputation of precision, functionality, legibility, and water-resistance, which has gained it the opportunity of being the supplier of The French Air Force, Space Lab Mission, The Lafayette Escadrille, and many other extreme professionals.

Over the years, the Bell & Ross watches have split into two collections: instrument and vintage. While the vintage collection pays tribute to the era of aeronautical adventures, the instrument models represent the circle-square-style cockpit dials and clocks.
