The prestigious brand Bell & Ross unveiled its new exceptional watch to the public at the end of 2017, in a completely transparent beauty. This elegant and unusual creation has been named the BR-1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire. Bell & Ross has chosen sapphire to create this exceptional, high-end jewel. It embodies all the criteria of watchmaking performance, as well as the beauty and innovative design that no other creation has yet possessed.
A watch born from a design based on sapphire
The BR-1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire was created to reveal all the secrets of time in a design entirely based on sapphire. Unprecedented in the world of watchmaking, Bell & Ross has truly set itself the challenge of surpassing the limits of watchmaking performance in this new creation. The entire structure of this beautiful watch is visible through its transparent sapphire case, but the movement and assembly of this timepiece can also be admired through its case.
A fully transparent design
This BR-1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire is completely transparent. It features a 45 mm diameter case, cut from five blocks of sapphire that have been fused together using transparent screws. As a result, the case offers a magnificent view of the hour counter on the barrel as well as the movement of this prestigious timepiece.
The Bell & Ross brand has truly demonstrated its expertise and creativity in the design of this new watch. It has combined traditional watchmaking techniques with the latest manufacturing techniques for high-end skeletonization and finishing that will please even the most discerning watchmakers. At 6 o'clock on the watch, there is a tourbillon that gives the sensation of floating. And the harmony between each element that makes up this exceptional watch has also been respected, as even the strap is transparent.
The specific features of the BR-1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire
This stunning new creation features manual winding with steel-grey lines that complement the translucent elements of this watch perfectly. The model has a 100-hour power reserve. You can set the timepiece via its push button. The BR-1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire features metal hands that have been skeletonized and embellished with Superluminova. For the suspension bridges, Bell & Ross opted for the X-Shape, a hallmark of the BRX1 collection. This new model, recently launched by the brand, therefore enriches the family of exceptional timepieces that already includes the BR-X1 Carbone Forgé and the BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor automatic.
