Bell & Ross

Bell & Ross was founded in Paris in 1992 by Bruno Belamich and Carlos A. Rosillo. Its first watches were made with the help of the German firm Sinn before the company established its own design language and moved production to La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland. The brand is defined by its square-cased BR 01 and BR 03 models, whose four exposed screws and bold markings borrow from aircraft instrument panels. Chanel has been a shareholder since the late 1990s. The range also includes the integrated-bracelet BR-05, divers and round vintage-inspired pieces.
