Paris brand founded by Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo, known for instrument-panel watches such as the square BR 01.
Bell & Ross was founded in Paris by the designer Bruno Belamich ('Bell') and Carlos Rosillo ('Ross'); most accounts give 1992 as the founding year, while the company's own history gives 1994. Its first watches were made with the German maker Sinn and signed 'Bell & Ross by Sinn'. With financial backing from Chanel from the late 1990s the brand moved production to Switzerland, opening its own workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 2002.
The BR 01 of 2005, a square case with a round dial modelled on aircraft instruments, made the brand widely recognised. Bell & Ross also produced divers' watches such as the Hydromax.
