Bell & Ross Creates Watch for Concept Car Control Panel
February 25, 2010
The relations between watchmaking and automobile industries can be considered identical: super cars and concept cars make a perfect background that allows watchmakers to raise the charm and presentable look of their watches to the necessary n-power. That’s why it is not surprising that promising in this context automobile industry presents great interest for the watchmaking manufactory Bell & Ross. And this interest is far from being idle: among the most well-known projects of Bell & Ross there are those connected with cars – a chronograph for Belgian Grand Prix F1 in 2005 (Grand Prix Chronograph) and a watch for the concept car Peugeot in 2006.
The new project of the reputable watchmaking brand is also connected with cars and namely the 80th International Motor Show in Geneva that starts on March 14, 2010. The prestigious event is very important for Bell & Ross: together with Peugeot the brand is going to present its new timepiece integrated into the control panel of the concept car: SR1 (Peugeot SR1 Concept Car).
The Bell & Ross SR1 Concept Watch is crafted from stainless steel, and measures 46mm x 46mm. In the fundamental dimensions and finishing of the case, it is essentially identical to the brand’s well-received BR 01-97 Power Reserve. However, the dial of the SR1 Concept watch certainly attains uniqueness with a texture that resembles the crystalline patterns of a snowflake. The boldly faceted hour and minute hands are in nickel-plated steel and present an extremely technical impression - one which coordinates superbly with the dial design, as well as the grandiose sweeping lines and futuristic gauges of the Peugeot SR1 Concept Car interior.
The watch is powered by an ETA 2897 self-winding movement, which offers a rapid advance date display, central seconds with a hacking function and a power reserve complication. Water resistance is 100 meters. The smoothly grained leather strap is made from the same leather as the upholstery of the Peugeot Concept Car and joins to a Bell & Ross tang buckle in brushed stainless steel.
The press release from Bell & Ross says that the Peugeot SR1 Concept watch is a one-off creation and will not be produced in series.

Bell & Ross BR01 94 Carbon Fiber
December 8, 2009
The new “instrument” by Bell & Ross - BR01 94 Carbon Fiber chronograph watch – is absolutely carbon. It means that this material is used for practically all parts of the new timepiece: case, dial and strap.
Carbon has recently become a trendy material which is a synonym to advanced nano and digital technologies. It’s only natural that Bell & Ross – the brand which is widely known for its innovative advanced technology watches – used carbon for its new timepiece.
The new Bell & Ross chronograph is housed by a fully carbon square case measuring 46 mm in diameter: the case is made with the help of laying carbon layers one above the other so the architecture of the model is positioned by the company as innovative.
Owing to this technique the watch acquires additional physical characteristics as heightened durability, lightness and endurance.
The new Bell & Ross timepiece boasts additional chronograph functions as 12-hours, 30-miutes and 60-seconds counters as well as a date aperture. The hands and indices are covered with luminescent treatment. The dial is protected with sapphire crystal coated with double AR treatment. Water resistance is 100 meters.
The new timepiece is powered with an ETA 2894 self-winding movement. The watch is produced in a limited edition of 500 copies.
