— Through a transparent case, this timepiece reveals the fascinating secrets of its flying tourbillon and chronograph mechanism.
In 2015, Bell & Ross launched the BR-X1 line with a Haute Horlogerie version: the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon.
This watch combined the extremely virile esthetic codes of the brand with technical refinement. Yet the thrill of a further development was still to come. True to its relentless quest for excellence and performance, Bell & Ross boldly set forth to achieve the ultimate expression of this already iconic design: a skeleton movement enhanced as a rare treasure.

Through a transparent exterior, the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon Sapphire is built around a flying tourbillon master grand complication and Bell & Ross has added an ultra elegant mono-pusher chronograph. The chronograph complication is visible and provides a privileged window into its many intricacies: the column wheel under the dial at 12 o’clock, the semi instantaneous jumping hand (rather than a traditional sweeping hand), and the power reserve indicator of 100 hours (at least 4 days) at 9 o’clock. Masculine through and through, the main plate and pillars have been machined from a single block of metal.
The skeletonizing of the calibre BR-CAL.285 allows the exceptional mechanics of this “horological turbine” to be observed when starting, stopping and resetting. True aficionados will appreciate the extreme sophistication of the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon Sapphire with its 30-minute counter at 10 o’clock and 60-second counter at 2 o’clock for the chronograph functions. These are engaged by the mono-pusher rocker –positioned at 2 o’clock– which controls the Start, Stop and Reset functions.

To those of us in awe of Nature’s riches, sapphire is an iconic precious gemstone. To the world of Science, it’s a mineral known as Corundum, the second hardest material on earth after diamond, and almost impossible to scratch. Herein, lies the beauty of this once-in-a-lifetime creation by the master horologers at Bell & Ross.
Cutting a watchcase from a solid block of sapphire is an extremely difficult process. It takes long hours of machining, then polishing, to produce one. The BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon Sapphire case, measuring 45 mm in diameter, is cut from six blocks of sapphire: middle piece, back, top, crystal and the two bumpers and is assembled with screws.

Pero los intentos de los relojeros para hacer que el reloj sea a prueba de humedad no se detuvieron allí.replicas relojes En 1897, se inventaron las juntas para la cubierta posterior, el vidrio, el botón de ajuste y el eje del reloj. El beneficio de este descubrimiento no fue tanto en las juntas,replicas de relojes sino en la definición de lugares "críticos" a través de los cuales la humedad puede filtrarse en la vivienda.
ReplyDeleteEin Kollege am Arbeitsplatz hatte replica uhren deutschland über seinen Leidensweg und seine schlechten Erfahrungen mit dem Kauf von Armbanduhren geklagt. Die einzige Lösung, die ich anbieten konnte, war, ihn auf Biao.is auf diese gefälschte breitling replica hinzuweisen. Seitdem war er dankbar dafür, wie viel Zufriedenheit und Luxus er von diesem Produkt genoss.
ReplyDeleteAnother feature to highlight in this new launch is the ten new colors of the rubber strap, which will feature the Swiss replica watches characteristic double rivet design, in black, blue, red, brown, yellow, green, grey, orange, light blue and olive green. All of them with the EasX-CHANGE system that allows you to use almost any strap with the same system, which will be useful considering the non-standard lug width of 21mm.
