The Franco-Swiss watchmaker - Bell & Ross honours the history of timepieces by presenting the Pocket Watch PW1 the Wristwatch WW1, both of which reimagines the evolution between pocket watches in the 1920s and the first series of wristwatches in the 1940s. The brand has always been acclaimed for its reinterpretation of watch design history, particularly those from the military. Yet it still manages to remain faithful to current watch-making standards while running true to Bell & Ross’s unique design principles.
As "a watch from the past reflecting the present", the Pocket Watch PW1 and Wristwatch WW1 models - while distinguished by their setting, finishes and movements - share common characteristics, personifying the design of the first wrist watches, yet made for the comfort of today’s men. The refined masculine design epitomises a new style of military neo-classicism.
For serious admirers of military watch history, the Wristwatch WW1 wristwatch also comes in its authentic Military versions; the Wristwatch WW-92 features a matte grey steel case and a distressed strap, and the Wristwatch WW1 – 92, encased in black, comes with sand-coloured index markings and a leather strap that will season with a vintage varnish over time. Both models offer an hour, minute and second graduations inspired by observation watches used by military pilots to calculate their direction, speed, and bearings, even in the dark.
