Timepiece manufacturer Bell & Ross has today unveiled a new Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire Watch which it will be creating in a limited edition of just eight timepieces each priced at £300,000 or $385,000. The Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire Watch see-through watch is equipped with a hand-wound skeleton tourbillon movement and a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. Other features include a 100-hour power reserve and translucent rubber strap.
Unparalleled Craftsmanship and Design
The Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire Watch is a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and excellence in watchmaking. The watch’s case is crafted entirely from sapphire, a material known for its exceptional hardness and scratch resistance. This not only provides a stunning visual appeal but also ensures the watch’s durability. The skeleton design allows enthusiasts to admire the intricate workings of the hand-wound calibre BR-CAL.288 movement, which is a marvel of engineering with 20 jewels and a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.
The flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock is a highlight, showcasing Bell & Ross’s expertise in creating complex watch mechanisms. Unlike traditional tourbillons, a flying tourbillon is mounted without an upper bridge, giving the illusion that it is floating. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also improves the watch’s accuracy by counteracting the effects of gravity.
