Bell & Ross BR-X3 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor
The Bell & Ross BR-X3 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor is a limited edition watch, with only 25 pieces available, retailing at CHF 80,000 or SGD 125,000. It features an innovative transparent steel and sapphire case that showcases the entire movement, designed with an elegant open-work layout. This timepiece signifies a shift from Bell & Ross's traditional focus on legibility and functionality towards haute horlogerie, where the mechanics of the watch become the focal point rather than merely telling time. The design integrates a square case with a minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing the beauty of the movement while maintaining structural integrity through the use of sapphire. At the heart of the BR-X3 is the BR-CAL.389 caliber, which includes a flying tourbillon and a micro-rotor, achieving a slender profile of just 9 mm for the entire case. With a 58-hour power reserve, this movement exemplifies technical excellence while allowing for a visual spectacle through its skeletonized design. The watch offers water resistance up to 50 meters and features a small sapphire fumé dial, enhancing its luxurious appearance. This release marks a new chapter for Bell & Ross, combining artistry and engineering to create a sophisticated statement piece in contemporary watchmaking.
