Horological Meandering

The 2012 edition of Baselworld was very active for Bell & Ross, so active that the fuses had just been blown when I visited the booth. Hopefully, we could find a place with lights in order to be able to shoot pics of this new collection. We can split it i...  

Large new collection from Bell&Ross among all im captured by their WWII new watches and the phantom vintage but i tend to like the first more. Faisal

It is quite obvious that the BR03 is an easier case to be worn on a daily basis. But for me the BR01 is the original one and the big size is a part of the design. So if you have the opportunity to switch, don't hesitate if the size is not a problem for yo... 

BR01 is the purist's Bell&Ross if you wanna call it I guess we've heard this countless times....once you are bitten by the size and weight, cant get back to smaller ones...or, very difficult. Imagine 33mm or 34mm....only P.Dufour and very few watches ...  

Wins in my book! Thx for shainrg J

Yes, the Regulator is the key piece of the 2012 collection. The addition of the black bezel works pretty well on the Vintage. Thanks for your comments! Fx

You will surprise by its comfort on the wrist, much better than expected! Fx

Thank you for the outstanding report!

There was a lot to write this year! Fx

Hi Xavier, good day. Thanks for the extensive report. Great offering by B&R this year. I like that WW1 PocketWatch. Argentium... Bomber will be hot... Regards

I have to admit that I ceased to be a B&R fan when they started to strap those aircraft instruments to the wrist. However, I have to admit that they have found an individual style there, and the new watches, copying altimeter, artificial horizon etc. ... 

some interesting pieces there, especially the silver cased WWII pieces. a good reminder of my WWI trench watches. and that regulateur is just superb. a bit big, but the dial is perfect. thanks again Graham

is really cool too.

to some pretty good designs. You can tell that they are taking design very seriously with the new collection. My favorite is not here. But I see a transformational improvement this year. I can imagine B and R becoming a 'darling' brand in a few years if t...
