No-nonsense Air Worthiness

Posted at 11:47:31 PM in Bell & Ross (5)

 

For Bell and Ross, time flies – literally. Aviation’s partner watchmaker, Bell and Ross’ ambition to be involved in the world’s dangerous air exploits started when its team of designers collaborated with aircraft control specialists to come up with watches suited for professional use. Today, Ball and Ross watches are used by austronauts, pilots, divers and bomb-disposal experts as part of their official gear.  Until now, the watchmaker studies real-life circumstances and challenges with the men who fly and operate in official missions in order to come up with the best timepieces to ally them in their maneuvers in the air. A big team of skilled designers, engineers and watchmakers come together at Bell and Ross to create highly functional watches whose essentials are never compromised by the superfluous. This commitment to functionality endears the brand to aviation and other demanding fields of expertise. The most utilitarian watches from Bell and Ross are available at Shreve & Co. Jewelers in Palo Alto – authorized dealer of precious brands like Bell and Ross.
