Bell & Ross Watches

French

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.

Originally, the firm manufactured high-quality pocket timepieces, which were soon popular among American railroad employees owing to their precision and dependability. Hamilton Watch Company started manufacturing wristwatches for the United States military during World War I. This shifted the company's attention to wristwatch manufacture, and by the 1930s, Hamilton was producing some of the world's most popular and creative wristwatches. During WWII, Hamilton once again developed military timepieces, notably the famed "Marine Chronometer," which was utilised by US Navy navigators. Hamilton continued to develop after the war, creating the world's first electric watch in 1957 and the first digital watch in 1970. Hamilton has also been a popular brand among Hollywood filmmakers, with its timepieces featuring in various films such as "Interstellar," "The Martian," and "Men in Black." Hamilton is now a component of the Swatch Group, one of the world's major watch makers. Despite ownership changes and altering watch...

    How much a Bob Ross painting is worth depends on its condition, history and other characteristics. In 2023, his painting A Walk in the Woods sold for more than $9 million at an auction. The painting was significant because it was the first one Ross ever produced on his beloved television series, The Joy of Painting, which ran from 1983 to 1994. Ross is best known for his landscapes, which often featured what he described as "happy little trees." If you own a Ross painting, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can help you with valuation. Shop a wide range of paintings on 1stDibs.
