World Limited to 20 Pieces! The Ultimate Skeleton Dial!

Bell & Ross presents the "BR-X1 TOURBILLON R.S.19," a watch tuned to the extreme by its flying tourbillon, akin to a miniature F1® engine on the wrist. The tourbillon cage at 6 o'clock, rotating once per minute, corrects minor inaccuracies caused by gravity that affect the mechanism, thereby improving timekeeping accuracy and reducing friction at specific points.
The manufacturing and hand-assembly of the tourbillon cage, featuring a small balance wheel precisely regulated to rotate internally like an F1® engine, are achieved through astonishing watchmaking expertise. Beyond the visual allure of the tourbillon, it stands as an unparalleled example of intricate mechanical watchmaking.
This model, featuring a chronograph function, boasts a technically advanced case design stripped of excess, along with new time markers around the bezel for lap timing. It is produced in a limited edition of 20 pieces worldwide, a testament to the passion for precision engineering and watchmaking.
