Bell & Ross has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation and design, captivating enthusiasts and collectors alike. The latest addition to their distinguished collection, the BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire Ice Blue, emerges as a beacon of creativity and technical prowess.
Limited to just 25 pieces, this timepiece is a harmonious blend of transparency, automation, and an exquisite ice blue aesthetic that challenges the norms of Haute Horlogerie.
Transparency Redefined:
At the heart of this limited edition masterpiece lies a 45-mm case crafted entirely from sapphire – a material as hard and enduring as diamond. The faceted design of the case is a testament to modern Haute Horlogerie expertise, creating a mesmerizing visual effect where the skull appears to float weightlessly within the transparent enclosure. The transparency theme seamlessly extends to the wrist, courtesy of a transparent silicone strap that complements the overall ethereal aesthetic.

Haute Horlogerie Automaton Animation:
Bell & Ross, known for their dedication to craftsmanship, has equipped the BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire with a hand-wound movement, the calibre BR-CAL.209. This in-house movement powers an automaton animation, bringing the skull to life with an opening jaw that seemingly sniggers when the spring is wound.
The transparent case provides a captivating view of the intricate workings, with the anthracite balance wheel revealing its rhythmic oscillations, echoing the mechanical heartbeat of the watch.

Ice Blue Elegance:
Setting a bold precedent in Haute Horlogerie, the steel blue hue of the BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire is crafted from galvanized brass and enhanced with blue PVD. Described by Bruno Belamich, Bell & Ross co-founder and Creative Director, as “like a faceted iceberg”, the transparency of the sapphire case beautifully harmonizes with the icy tone of the sky-blue color, creating a truly unique and captivating timepiece.
