Bell & Ross is a luxury French watch company headed by the French and Swiss designer Bruno Belamich and businessman Carlos A. Rosillo.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
History[edit | edit source]
The brand was launched in 1992. The company was founded by Belamich and Rosillo as a university project, using watches made by German watchmaker Sinn.[4] Early models included the Space 1 chronometer, and the Bomb Disposal Type designed for the French Security Services and intended to be worn by bomb disposal technicians.[6][9][1]
Watches such as the BR Instrument have been designed to replicate the shape of a cockpit instrument taken from an aircraft. The BR02 range caters for diving professionals through the use of highly legible dials and cases water resistant to withstand 1000 metres of pressure. Another offering is the Hydromax; which contains hydraulic fluid within the case to counteract the effects of external pressures.[4][6]
Bell & Ross's first watches were virtual re-issues of Sinn models and carried the Bell & Ross logo as well as Sinn's. The partnership ended in 2002, when Bell & Ross began its own independent production in its facilities La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.[9]
In 2016, the company unveiled its AeroGT concept car at Switzerland's Baselworld timepiece exhibition.[7]
