BR 05 SKELETON GOLDEN A MECHANICAL ARCHITECTURE
Watchmaker Bell & Ross has become a specialist in aeronautical-inspired watches. Yet some of its timepieces are taking off into other worlds.
In 2019, the brand is launching the BR 05, a new contemporary family that evolves while keeping the House’s DNA.
Integrated bracelet and case merge into a coherent whole. This watch is aimed at urban adventurers.
The Skeleton collection, which is derived from it, is a great success. Its open dial delivers its fascinating watch mechanism for contemplation.
2019 marks the launch of the first all-steel Skeleton. This will be followed by different variations with the Skeleton Blue in 2020, a Skeleton NightLum in 2021 and a Skeleton Green in 2022.
The golden hue of the dial of the new Golden version brings another look to the Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton.
Urban and racy, the skeletonized version of the BR 05 urban-chic collection marks its territory and adds a new colorful, refined and precious shade to its proposals. A jewel of watchmaking but also of style. an integrated case
The steel case, 40 mm in diameter, features the iconic round inside the square. The satin-finished steel bezel, which holds the flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal, is secured by four polished steel slotted screws. Thisconstruction ensures a water resistance of 100 meters. The case middle, discreetly highlighted by two polished 45° bevels, is satin-finished on both sides. The case back is fitted with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that allows the back of the movement the back of the movement, including the 360° oscillating weight.
An exercise in mastery, since the whole thing is no more than 5.45 mm thick, which guarantees the allure of this watch
A TRANSPARENT DIAL
The reinforcement of the galvanized flange, which is also golden, allows an amber light to diffuse, with honey-like reflections, creating a voluptuous impression. In order to clear the view as much as possible, the large numerals, usually the hallmark of Bell & Ross watches, give way to gold applied indexes of the “bathtub” type. The skeletonized baton-shaped hands are filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1 White 10, a substance with green luminescent emissions.
Thanks to its translucent dial, this watch willingly reveals its mechanical mysteries. But it chooses to do so in a subtle way.
A SKELETON MOVEMENT
The center of attention is naturally the movement which appears in transparency and by contrast effects, under the colored surface of the dial which acts like a filter in photography… A watchmaking mechanism that brings the watch to life.
to the watch.
In line with Bell & Ross’ creative signature, the plate and the upper bridge of this movement, made of bead-blasted ruthenium, have been cut in accordance with an architectural and graphic plan. This original and modernist skeletonization
This original and modernist skeletonization deliberately avoids baroque decorative effects in favor of a linear and geometric approach.
“We started with a good movement to create a beautiful movement,” says Bruno Belamich, co-founder of Bell & Ross and Creative Director, as he describes the finishing of the self-winding Swiss Made BR-CAL.322 caliber.
TWO STRAPS AVAILABLE
The integration of the central link of the bracelet with the case is a further indication of the level of technical sophistication of this watch, as well as its stylistic anchoring. “The integration of the bracelet case is in keeping with the brand
The integration of the case and bracelet is in keeping with the brand’s codes, while adding another dimension to the watch: the first link is part of the case. This type of design has been a reference since the 1970s and when transposed to Bell & Ross, we obtain a result that is both obvious and ergonomic,” explains Bruno Belamich. The structure of this attachment system allows the BR 05 Skeleton Golden to be presented either on a steel bracelet, whose finishes are in direct adequacy with the alternation of the polished and satin surfaces of the case, and equipped with a folding clasp, or with a rubber strap whose amber color is in harmony with the color of the case.
with a rubber strap whose amber color blends with the golden hue of the dial. In all of its combinations, the BR 05 Skeleton Golden is consistent and coherent.
URBAN CHIC
With its specific skeletonized movement, the BR 05 Skeleton Golden is aimed at lovers of fine watchmaking. Aesthetes who pay attention to design and details. They are sensitive to a form of purified beauty detached from artifice.
Intrinsically technical, as are all the watchmaking instruments developed by Bell & Ross, the BR 05 Skeleton Golden asserts a minimalist elegance to fit into the daily life of a modern lifestyle.
With this new BR 05 Skeleton, the company has once again gone beyond the watchmaking reinterpretation of technical instruments inspired by the world of aeronautics. The BR 05 collection, with its distinctive and contemporary proportions and lines proposes a new reading of the complex equation between technique and aesthetics. This new timepiece is offered in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
