Armed with their experience<\/strong>\u00a0in the aeronautic and military fields, Bell&Ross in-house engineers, master-watchmakers, designers and professional users pooled together their knowledge to create readable, functional, accurate and reliable watches which meet the specific demands of professionals on the job. Offering for the first time a Flyback function, characteristic of the very best aviation chronographs, the new\u00a0BR 126 Blackbird<\/strong>\u00a0pays tribute to the Lockheed SR-71 \u201cBlackbird\u201d, the legendary American plane. The Flyback complication was developed for aircraft pilots before the Second World War. It allowed them to instantly stop and restart their chronograph on receipt of radio or visual signals indicating the moment to change course or release bombs. In unveiling the\u00a0BR 126 Blackbird,<\/strong>\u00a0Bell & Ross infuses its Vintage collection with an element of modernity. Like its namesake, the limited edition is matte black in color, giving more prominence to the crucial indications displayed in orange, the color reserved for the most essential information. Since legibility of on-board instruments is vital in aeronautics, white is also prevalent in cockpits for its extreme legibility.<\/p>\n

Dassault Aviation is another story about heritage. Marcel Dassault liked to say that \u2018a beautiful plane is a plane that flies well\u2019. Likewise, Bell & Ross embraces the philosophy that the beauty of an object, no matter how sophisticated it is, can never match the logical culmination of its primary function. The excellence of the Falcon business jets is the result of the company\u2019s groundbreaking technology in designing and manufacturing fighter jets since 1963. The amazing saga continues today with the Falcon 7X generation business jets and the delivery of Dassault\u2019s 2,250th<\/sup>\u00a0Falcon. To mark the celebrated jet\u2019s 50th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary, Bell & Ross has created two limited edition timepieces\u2009: the\u00a0Vintage Falcon.<\/strong>\u00a0While the elegant metallic Falcon\u2019s 50th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary logo appears on the back and the Falcon\u2019s outline on the dial, the brown dial and brown leather wristband enhance the authentic vintage spirit.<\/p>\n

Bell & Ross also creates Haute Horlogerie for men\u00a0<\/strong>for whom time is not only a tool but also a genuine passion. In its quest for essentials, Bell & Ross launched in 2012 a grand complication with an original display and perfect legibility\u2009: the\u00a0Vintage WW1 Heure Sautante,<\/strong>\u00a0in two limited editions in pink gold or platinum. These two timepieces brilliantly combine the complexity of a mechanical movement with the simplicity of a completely new reading system. The movement and its immaculate finishes, the blue-steel screws, circular-grained mainplate, oscillating weight and bridges decorated with \u201cC\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve\u201d are viewed through the sapphire crystal on the caseback. In its platinum version, the Vintage WW1 Heure Sautante features a second window for the power reserve indicator. Its opaline grey and silvered dial in 18K gold with its hand-applied guilloch\u00e9 decoration and pear-shaped blue-steel hand lend it a timeless elegance. The pink gold version is enhanced by an opaline pearl dial decorated with finely elegant markers indicated by pear-shaped blue-steel hand. The power reserve indicator is displayed discreetly and in perfect harmony with the dial.<\/p>\n

Continuing from those high-end neo-classical pieces, Bell & Ross presents in 2013 the\u00a0WW1 R\u00e9gulateur Vintage.<\/strong>\u00a0 For a long time the most precise instrument in the history of watchmaking, the \u201cregulator-type\u201d movement separates the indications by ordering them into a hierarchy: it creates an original display in which each of the indications \u2013 hours, minutes and seconds \u2013 have their independent display. Thus the WW1 R\u00e9gulateur has a dominant central hand for the minutes, an hour counter at 12 o\u2019clock and a small independent seconds hand at 6 o\u2019clock, allowing rapid and precise reading of short time periods. Its \u201cbarleycorn\u201d guilloch\u00e9d caseback, worked in the style of period watches, is decorated in precious metal, reflecting the watchmakers\u2019 exquisite craftsmanship. Finally, the brand new\u00a0WW2 Military Tourbillon<\/strong>\u00a0targets both high-end timepiece collectors and professional watch enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
