Bell & Ross BR-X1
Collection profile
Avant-garde high-watchmaking collection from Bell & Ross that pushes the square-cased language into skeletonised chronograph and tourbillon territory, using exposed mechanics, aggressive architecture, and large-format 45 mm cases to emphasize technical spectacle.
Why it matters
BR-X1 is Bell & Ross’s most overtly technical and theatrical square-watch platform, bridging the brand’s instrument identity with high-end mechanical display pieces.
