Bell & Ross, leading aviation brand, revisits the art of the skull watch. The brand presents exclusively for Only Watch a unique piece: a multifaceted, multiverse and multi-talented timepiece.
At the confluence of Haute Horlogerie, art and design, the bespoke timepiece produces a multifaceted approach.
Bell&Ross worked on clear luster and elegant transparency to their fullest potential. Its case is machined from three blocks of sapphire. The SKULL dial from six blocks.
Each element of the watch, the case, crown, skull, crossbones, is structured within the many faces that sculpt the surfaces, creating volumes and a 3D image.
The Skull dial was metallised in orange on the back. Ultimate color for aeronautical instrumentation, ultra-legible, it makes essential information stand out. It is also the emblematic colour code of ONLY WATCH for their 2021 edition.
