Bell & Ross
French watchmaker Bell & Ross merges reliable functionality with classic minimalist design, creating timepieces that are as striking as they are rugged. Whether they’re donning the sleek, mysterious Bell & Ross Phantom — the design of which is inspired by stealth bombers — or the pragmatic BRV192 Military, wearers of Bell & Ross watches know they’ve got a trusted asset strapped to their wrists that also just happens to hold great visual appeal.
Bell & Ross began in 1992 as a university project between two good friends Bruno Belamich and Carlos A. Rosillo. The brand derives its moniker from the first few letters of each of their last names. They drew inspiration directly from aviation and military specs, as these two fields demand the highest level of performance from all tools that they employ. The duo wanted to create a timepiece that stood out in terms of appearance, but it also had to withstand extremes of temperature, impact and pressure. They also desired for their brand to be the one that military, aeronautic and diving experts preferred.
Belamich and Rosillo’s university project quickly morphed into a full-blown company. Today Bell & Ross consults expert divers, aviators and even bomb-disposal professionals to aid in their design. Once a schematic is complete, master watchmakers build the prototype at the production facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds and models that fit the bill are pushed on to production. Although Bell & Ross is largely known for its robust aviation and quartz dive watches in black coated steel and that feature durable alligator skin straps — the Hydromax model won the world record for water resistance in the late 1990s — the brand has created numerous styles to meet a range of needs for the everyday wearer.

Dial : Enamel Case: 48 mm, thickness 11.5 mm Total weight: 97.2 gram / 3.430 oz / 62.5 dwt Jean-Antoine Lépine (alternatively spelled L’Pine, LePine, Lepine, L’Epine, born Jean-Antoine Depigny; 18 November 1720 – 31 May 1814) was a French watchmaker. He contributed inventions which are still used in watchmaking today and was amongst the finest French watchmakers, who were contemporary world leaders in the field.[1] Beginnings and appointment as clockmaker to the King Since his childhood the horologist showed an inclination towards mechanical, beginning his horological career and making fast progress, in particular, under the direction of Mr. Decroze, manufacturer of Saconnex watches,[2] in the suburbs of Geneva (Switzerland). He moved to Paris in 1744 when he was 24 years of age, serving as apprentice to André-Charles Caron (1698–1775), at that time clockmaker to Louis XV. In 1756 he married Caron's daughter and associated with him, under "Caron et Lépine", between 1756 and 1769.[3] Watches with a signature Caron et Lépine or equivalent are not known; apparently Lépine was independent to a certain extent. As early watches were not numbered, it is uncertain when Lépine began to sign watches with Lépine à Paris on the movement and partially L'Epine à Paris on the dial. On 12 March 1762, he became maître horloger (master horologist) and probably since that year he was teacher of Abraham-Louis Breguet, to whom he had a business relation over many years. In the Breguet archive many watches are recorded as delivered by Lépine. In 1765 or 1766 (precise date not known), he was appointed Horloger du Roi (Clockmaker to the King). In 1766 he succeeded Caron, and appeared on the list of Paris clockmakers of that year as Jean-Antoine Lépine, Hger du Roy, rue Saint Denis, Place Saint Eustache. Ten years later, in 1772, he established himself in the Place Dauphine; in 1778-1779, Quai de l’Horloge du Palais; then in the rue des Fossés Saint Germain l’Auxerrois near the Louvre in 1781; and finally at 12 Place des Victoires in 1789. In 1782, his daughter Pauline married one of his workmen, Claude-Pierre Raguet (1753–1810), with whom he formed a partnership in 1792. He was also associated for a certain period with the philosopher Voltaire, at his watch manufactory set up in 1770 at Ferney. It is not known the exact role he played in the Ferney Manufacture royale, either technical director and/or associate. However, most ebauches for his watches were made there, at least between 1778 and 1782. An unsigned memoir of 1784 reports that Lépine stayed in Ferney for 18 months and that he had watch movements made there with a value of 90,000 livres a year. As a clock and watchmaker to Louis XV, Louis XVI and Napoleon Bonaparte, Lépine's creations were well respected and in demand.[3] 1764/65: Invention of the revolutionary Lépine calibre Lepine Caliber IIA with Quarter Repeater Complication shared with Abraham Breguet Lepine Cuvette Lepine Caliber IIA with Quarter Repeater. Also made by Lepine for Breguet watches. Around 1764/65, he devised a means of manufacturing a pocket watch that could be thinner, favouring the onward quest for further miniaturization. His radical design broke with a 300-year tradition and ushered in the age of precision timekeeping, the modern pocket...Category
