Horological Meandering

A first project by Bell & Ross to have an Asia Boutique-Edition BR 01 collection in 2011, namely focusing at three regions - Singapore, Indonesia and Greater Asia - China. Each region is represented by a colour ( primary colours of RGB were used), which I...  

Regardless of it being the only one among the three which has luminova ....Thanks for the pics and report Kong . Faisal

Great to hear from you Faisal. Strangely, from the spec, the blue should not lume Thanks for viewing. Kong

I agree with your color suggestions, but I think the skull isn't exactly auspicious in any of the three cultures, especially since singapore is heavily influenced by Chinese culture which tends to avoid anything related to death at all.

certain symbols have issues with the three cultures, like the skull and the serpent. Somehow, for the current Gen Z, these symbols are cool and hip ... perhaps the skulls are targeted for another segment Thanks for viewing. Kong

The compass and radar models look the most like the real instruments with the green crystal. I find it odd that all the models do not have luminescent coating. It would be really cool for all the watches to glow in the dark (red, green, and blue). If thes... 

they are huge but wearable. Was grabbing some shots and saw the lady sales consultant also wearing one BR 01. Looks good on her. I missed out grabbing her wristshot before leaving. For the radar and compass, I choose the green pieces too, Like you say, th...

but i'm not so much into the Skull Model. thanks for posting

Hi Tony Thought Asians are very likely to avoid the Skulls. Curious to ask for your reason Thanks for viewing. Kong

i see Skull on Cloths, Bracelets, Pendants, Caps, Tattoos..........etc. to me? it's a Reminder of Death.. IT'S THE END OF LIFE !! i know Death is Natural. BUT I LOVE LIVING :0))))))) Cheers Tony

Somehow it is even wierder if they plan to celebrate life with a similey face Thanks Tony. Kong

I like them all. It's nice to have the option to choose the color, love the RGB combination. Thanks. Vte

an idea pops into my mind ... could the watch crystal be transformed to another colour using another screw-on colour crystal? Do-able for the round Compass and Radar though Thanks for viewing. Kong

GREAT report and pics, Kong. I got to see the Airborne's in the Paris HQ in the summer. I love green, but I would be happy with either of these exclusive Ltd Ed pieces.
