We have a wild passion for paddock days, and not everyone is allowed to enter the box of a Formula 1 team during the official practice session. Doing it on the weekend of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix is therefore a privilege. On this occasion Bell & Ross invited us ...

If you talk about bronze watches, it is understood that you aim (usually) at diver's watches. Since the bronze debuted in watchmaking, the list of brands that have put at least a diver's watch with bronze case in their catalogue, has sky-rocketed.

In 2017 Bell & Ross presented its first professional diver's watch with a square case and a product that is 100% coherent with its reputation as a manufacturer of professional tools that are used by the air force and the army alike. Could a brand that founded its fortune on the square ...

In the last years, the evolution of the BR collection has been extraordinary. It seems like yesterday when the brand launched its first BR collection that took inspiration from an aircraft’s cockpit instruments, but 11 years have actually gone by already.
