AN ALLIANCE of the Highest Quality HAUTE HORLOGERIE AND PROFESSIONAL INSTRUMENTATION
The BR-X1, a higher-tech chronograph with sporty looks, that is as robust because it is sophisticated, marked the appearance of a brand new Bell & Ross line and the start of another chapter within the saga of the trademark. Revolutionary in the design and in- spired by aeronautical flight instruments, the BR-X1 line grows with a brand new exceptional Haute Horlogerie version: the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon. This precious calculating instrument combines the very virile aesthetic codes of the trademark using the technical refinement of Bell & Ross’ Haute Horlogerie.
In The BR-X1 towards the BR-X1 CHRONOGRAPH TOURBILLON

Place is integrated at nine o’clock for optimized handling when initiating the chronograph.
Functions. The ultra masculine and revolutionary architecture of the new generation go-anywhere watch permitted for infinite combinations within the design phase opening a huge possibility of creativeness. The brand new BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon may be the ultimate indication of Bell & Ross’ the watchmaking industry expertise and also the first chapter of the evolution that mixes grand complication and loyalty towards the aeronautical inspiration that the brand cherishes.
Sophistication dominates within the 45 mm situation: rocker mono- pusher, thumb relaxation place, virile looks. Its architecture remains unchanged using the grade 5 titanium “container” supplying lightweight, robustness and water proofing. Cover, bezel, accessories, thumb relaxation, bumpers, crown pads, crown and caseback come in 18 carat rose gold or titanium. It was vital the Haute Complication form of the BR-X1 be considered a chronograph, the complication component excellence in aviation. Accustomed to measure short occasions, it’s an indispensable tool for aeronautical navigation. This traditional complication is here now reinterpreted using the unique features of Haute Horlogerie and also the very genuine need to lighten the timepiece. The top range type of the BR-X1 range needed an extravagance watch movement, so Bell & Ross is promoting a handbook wind Skeleton Tourbillon Mono-Pusher Chronograph. This Haute Horlogerie grand complication movement is really a marvel of technology composed of 282 components and 35 rubies that beat at 21,600 vph.
SKELETON TOURBILLON MONO-PUSHER CHRONOGRAPH
The delicate and contemporary expression of the ultra virile high-tech type of watches, the “fuselage” from the BR-X1 brings Bell & Ross into new territory in creative the watchmaking industry, which has always made professional watches that meet exacting needs when it comes to legibility, functionality, precision and reliability. The combination of countless fine complications (tourbillon, mono-pusher chronograph, energy reserve indicator) within the square, rugged situation from the BR-X1 firmly emphasises the intention to mix Haute Horlogerie with extreme robustness, refinement with professional instrumentation and tradition having a desire to have modernity. One watch, the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon is this, plus much more.
A skeleton tourbillon mono-pusher chronograph, this new generation BR-X1, with column wheel movement, shows hrs and minutes within the center for any traditional display, in addition to a 100 hour (4 days) energy reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. A wrist watch of maximum sophistication, the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon also offers a 30-minute counter at 10 o’clock along with a 60 second counter at 2 o’clock for that chrono- graph functions. The part is engaged through the mono-pusher rocker – situated at 2 o’clock – which controls the beginning, Stop and totally reset functions. An uncommon horological feature, the minute counter from the chronograph includes a semi? Instantaneous jumping hands, as opposed to the traditional sweeping hands.

The resetting strikers are clearly visible at 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock. The delicate centerpiece of the top end movement, the column wheel, allows softer operation from the chronograph functions because they are engaged – something that’s highly valued by enthusiasts of proper watches.
The tourbillon, clearly visible in the cage situated at six o’clock, can serve as the best guarantee of precision. Invented in 1801, this horological complication, regarded as the best of all of them, makes up for those diversions in precision triggered through the earth’s gravity much more a vertical position, producing a more precise movement. The “flying” tourbillon cage from the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon is distinguished because it’s mounted with no support bridge, giving the sense that it’s floating or flying, which it’s not mounted whatsoever. To attain what seems to contravene the laws and regulations of mechanics, the tourbillon from the BR-X1 needed all the help of the in-house engineers, who labored in close
partnership using the finest Swiss master watchmakers. The outcomes mix technical precision with kinetic beauty within this flying tourbillon with open cage at 6 o’clock. Just like a discreet signature, the ampersand (the legendary “&” of the trademark) around the tourbillon cage sets the beat for that seconds.

In the front, the azure crystal comes with an antireflective coating to make sure resistance and optimal legibility. Produced from gray-tinted azure very and including applique? metal indices with photo-lumines- cent card inserts, the dial forms a obvious window by which the exceptional skeletonised movement could be appreciated. The azure very around the caseback exposes the geometry from the plates, which may be respected forever. The faceted, Superluminova?-filled hands and applique? indices offer per- fect legibility. The biomaterial high-strength rubber bracelet with alligator place includes a satin grade 5 titanium-steel alloy or 18 carat rose gold buckle.
