Bell & Ross Vintage 123 Watches

With the presentation of its enthralling jewellery watches, BijouMontre has conveyed a true spirit of La Belle Epoque. These horological novelties - BM 9220T, BM 9230T and BM 9250T models - portray the Art Deco design of the 20s, successfully brought into a contemporary context.The new BijouMontre watches enchant the beholders with exquisitely carved figure ornaments, presented on their bezels and mother-of-pearl dials. Harmonizing perfectly with the refined embellishments are artistically designed oversized Arabic numerals, revealed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock.On the su***ce of the dial, the time is reduced to the essentials: displaying hours and minutes. Their progression is marked by centralized partially transparent light-toned and dark-toned hands. Giving life to the basic functions is a robust quartz movement.The dial of every new timekeeper is gently embraced by a 32 mm case, crafted from 925 sterling silver material. It is equipped with a supremely elegant winding crown, conventionally nestled at 3 o'clock.The case presents a shimmering play of Top Wesselton/VS diamonds, which overall weight totals to 0.78 carats.Other highlights of these impressive timepieces include dazzling gems, placed on the bezel at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock. The total weight of these jewels constitutes 1.80 carats. The BM 9220T watch boasts topaz stones, the BM 9230T model is adorned with citrines and the BM 9250T timepiece proudly reveals amethysts. Every model presented handles depths of up to 30 meters. The refinement of all new BijouMontre watches is accentuated by white straps. The issue of every timekeeper is strictly limited to 666 pieces worldwide.

TweetEmailBell & Ross came to the market in 1992 determined to offer high quality Swiss timepieces to professionals in extreme working environments (see Bell & Ross: Watches for Professionals). Now with the instantly recognizable square design of the Instrument collection (the cases literally look like gauges lifted directly off of fighter jets or submarines), Bell & Ross may have found the individuality it needs to keep competing with better known and long-established brands. Bell & Ross continues to push forward with a Breitling-like passion for professional timepieces, and a combination of avant-garde style and Swiss watch making tradition.All the watches in the Bell & Ross Instrument collection have automatic ETA movements, anti-reflective sapphire crystals, luminescent hands and markers, and are water-resistant to 100 meters (about 330 feet). There are 11 different models available with the following complications:No date.Small date.Big date.Chronograph.Power reserve.Across these five basic versions, you can get all kinds of variations, including:Stainless steel, black carbon finished steel, pink gold, or titanium cases.Leather, canvas, rubber, or alligator straps.Limited edition orange or blue accents (blue version pictured here).Diamond encrusted with mother-of-pearl dials.The Instrument Collection has become the symbol of the company's brand image, and will likely be their calling card for many years to come. While Bell & Ross may want you to believe that their Instrument collection is for serious professionals, I believe that these watches will be very intriguing to the enthusiast who appreciates style and passion over brand and history. The cornerstone of this business is quality and character — something that Bell & Ross seems to have come to understand very well.By James Stacey
