Celebrating its third year as a key partner of the Renault Sport Formula One Team, Bell & Ross introduced a BR-X1 Tourbillon RS18, inspired by the new Renault single-seat race car. A skillful blend of technology and engineering, the 45mm tourbillon chronograph features a case made of perforated titanium, making it extremely lightweight and strong. Powered by the hand-wound 282-part BR-CAL.283 caliber with flying tourbillon and monopusher columnwheel chronograph, the watch is equipped with four days of power reserve. The chronograph functions have yellow and red accents for easy readability. It is activated with rocker pushers reminiscent of the Formula One steering wheels. An open-worked dial enables viewing of the high-tech gear train. The new strap is made from black perforated rubber that o!ers extra breathability. Fitted with a sapphire caseback and featuring Super-LumiNova hands and markers, it is water resistant to 100 meters. Just 20 pieces will be made.

Conceived in France's fashionable capital, this Parisian watchmaker upholds the artful reputation of its hometown. Bell & Ross' timepieces not only tell time in a literal sense but allude to a grander tale through the timelessness of its collections. From its Vintage line that cements classical elegance in a single timepiece, to its futuristic Concept collection that mocks mortality with a laughing skull at the watch's center, every past, present and potential state of man is both represented and accommodated for.This is emphasized by the categorization of its watches as 'universes'. Deriving from a recognition that time reflects both who we are and who we will be, the brand allows for comfortable timekeeping while we live out life through the universe of our own perspective. Universe categories include the pilot, driver, racer and urban explorer, with each timepiece built by Bell & Ross to allow the fulfillment of one's destiny while not faulting on durability.
