Bell & Ross 01 Cyber Skull: Futuristic Origami

BR 01 CYBER SKULL - © Bell & Ross

This fascinating new timepiece revisits the art of the skull watch. Its design leaves the vintage register usually associated with the iconic Skull family - since 2009 – of the French Luxury Watchmaking House Bell & Ross, to anchor itself in contemporary modernity. Dressed in matte black ceramic, the BR 01 Cyber Skull presents an angular silhouette reminiscent of certain fighter jets described as invisible. Featuring a fascinating game of multiplication of perspectives, between flat and smooth surfaces. Hiding the manual-winding caliber BR-CAL.206 under the faceted decoration, this piece of Haute Horlogerie, plays with light, transparency like in today’s architecture, and geometric lines that remind us of the futuristic universes of automobiles or art. Limited to only 500 pieces. A real collector’s item!

Grand winner of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie in Geneva in 2020 in the category Chronograph, the Streamliner has become a top model. Synonymous with fluidity, geometric curves and dynamic shapes, this collection is remarkable for the integration of its steel bracelet into the cushion shaped case. Steel on steel, envisioned in the Moser way, that is to say by playing the minimalism card to better sublimate the original aesthetics of the models. The Streamliner Flyback Chronograph Automatic Funky Blue, combines accuracy of proportions, fluidity of shapes and high-end finishes, all associated with the color that has become legendary in the H. Moser & Cie palette, Funky Blue. Like all models in the Streamliner collection, its rounded curves refer to the first high-speed trains of the 1920s and 30s from which it borrows the name. And at the center of the movement, the keener eye will discover a cam sculpted in the shape of a pointy-eared figurine, reminiscent of the famous character from comics and super hero movies. The secret intended for insiders shows that there is room for a touch of humor, even in the world of traditional watchmaking …
