and case back. As the day advances, a mother
and daughter take a stroll in monaco, enjoying
the precious moments they share together. Their
silhouettes emerge from the dial, before slowly
slipping away. A diamond-set bezel encircles and
protects this charming scene.

CJ
lavish case fashioned from high-quality wood with six
watches: the br01 horizon, Altimeter and Turn coordinator,
created in 2012, and the br01 heading Indicator, Airspeed

have, as their common and unique denominator, a touch
of orange. orange is the ultimate color for aeronautical
instrumentation due to its high level of legibility and capacity to make important information stand out through
contrast. It is also a traditional color for bell & ross, which
has used it on timepieces for the same reasons.
This exclusive box is designed to be a dashboard on which
the vital instruments are laid out in a T for optimum legibility. It will give its possessor the impression of owning a
piece of an aircraft cockpit.
