Bell & Ross is a watchmaker specialising in aeronautical instrumentation, with a mission to invent, design and manufacture exclusive and perfectly functional timepieces for professionals working under extreme conditions. In its La Chaux-de-Fonds manufacture based in Switzerland, the brand perpetuates the Swiss art of luxury watchmaking.
The history of Bell & Ross began in 1994, founded by two friends, Carlos-A. Rosillo and Bruno Belamich, who shared a passion for watchmaking and aviation. With its Franco-Swiss heritage, Bell & Ross quickly became a reference in the field of professional aviation watches.
Inspired by aeronautical equipment, the BR-01 revolutionised watch design codes in 2005 with its iconic “circle within a square” motif. This distinctive aesthetic became the brand’s emblem, anchoring subsequent collections: the professional BR-03, the urban BR-05, and the avant-garde BR-X5 manufacturing line.
