Replica At Best Price Bell & Ross BR03-94 Horolum And BR03-92 Horoblack Watches


Bell & Ross BR03-94 Horolum And BR03-92 Horoblack Watches Watch Releases

Bell & Ross, purveyors of aviation-themed, instrument-styled watches, have recently announced the addition of two limited edition models to one of their core collections. The new Bell & Ross BR03-92 Horoblack three hand automatic and the BR03-94 Horolum chronograph are bead-blasted, subdued takes on the BR03 square-cased standard and feature sandwich dials intended for maximum legibility.

Starting with the BR03-92 Horoblack, Bell & Ross have elected to stick with their standard 42mm BR03, stainless steel, rounded square case, this time with a micro-blasted effect to limit reflections and create a utilitarian look. The Horoblack’s new dial construction features a two layer sandwich design with a base layer of seldom seen black Super-LumiNova overlaid with a stainless steel dial with cutouts for the indices. Micro-blasted to match the case, the Horoblack dial and case work together to create a minimal tool watch look which should also enable easy reading of the time. Other than color treatment and material choice, the dial, hands, case, sapphire crystal, and straps on the BR03-92 Horoblack are more or less the same as core BR03 models.

Keeping time for the three hand BR03-92 Horoblack is the BR-CAL.302 automatic mechanical movement, a 25 jewel, Swiss made caliber with a 38 hour power reserve, which is based on the Sellita SW300-1. Shared with some of the “higher end” BR03 models – such as the BR03-92 Diver – the BR-CAL.302 is a solid, dependable choice for a watch like the Horoblack given the price point – even if some collectors will wish for something a little more horologically high brow.

A very good sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating can occasionally appear to even “sharpen” the dial components, to my eyes. The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver includes a 2.85mm-thick horizontal crystal with fantastic AR coating offering a clear view of the dial that is intended to be legible to start with. The applied hour markers, sloped chapter ring, and date window at 4:30 with a black date wheel to match the dial color all help lend a sense of interest and depth that I always appreciate.Clearly, I’m bullish on the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver. It was one of the funnest recent watches I’ve had the opportunity to wear for an extended time period, and I can not actually say I could discover any actual complaints relating to it. There are a couple of things that I can think of, however, that Bell & Ross can do to further sweeten the deal. First, ceramic bezel inserts are more scratch-resistant, and are becoming practically standard nowadays, which makes aluminum inserts begin to feel less premium. Second, it is likely to have 300m water resistance on a watch using a screen caseback, and that would increase the value, interest, and user experience for the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver. The solid caseback, though, is probably also valuable for protecting the motion from magnetic fields. Last, including something in the motion department, like COSC certificate, for instance, would further kick up it a notch. All of these items would probably also be grounds to increase the price, of course.The Swiss automatic movement inside is the perfectly suitable, reliable, and common Sellita SW300-1 (“BR-CAL.302”). Power reserve of 42 hours, working at 4Hz… you understand the specs. The screw-down crown has been coated with rubber and easy to grip with a strong and smooth-as-butter winding feel. I like the rubber on the crown, but I wonder how rubber elements like this on watches can hold up with time. The strap can be rubber, is comfortable and soft, and includes a suitably giant steel buckle.

Built with a similar concept is the BR03-94 Horolum chronograph, a subdued take on the standard BR03-94 Chronograph. Different from the core model on the Horolum is the micro-blasted 42mm case and micro-blasted stainless steel sandwich dial construction, this time with a base plate of C3 Super-LumiNova, and a grey-green calfskin strap to accompany the BR standard synthetic, which is also included. A Calibre BR-CAL.301 automatic allows for tracking of time and date as well as a 30-minute chronograph function and is based on the 37 jewel ETA 2894-2. Like the BR03-92 Horoblack, the BR03-94 Horolum is essentially identical in design to its more pedestrian sibling other than the blasted case and sandwich dial design. Owing to the helping of C3 Super-LumiNova on the Horolum’s sandwich dial, nighttime reading should be excellent.

Limited editions like the BR03-92 Horoblack and BR03-94 Horolum are in keeping with B&R’s custom of creating limited models based on their central collection of instrument-style watches. While the new models are more like color updates than real “new” watches, the utilitarian style and matte effect will no doubt appeal to the tool watch crowd in the market for a new square time teller. The BR03-92 Horoblack will be available for $3,400 and the BR03-94 Horolum will retail for $5,800. bellross.com

Grade 1 Replica Watches What Is A Piece Of Timepiece? Watch Art Interview With Korean Designer Eerune


What Is A Piece Of Timepiece? Watch Art Interview With Korean Designer Eerune ABTW Interviews

When some first asked me a few years ago why I loved watches, I pointed out a few key reasons to explain my fascination with the small machines. The first reason was that I enjoyed the mechanical, functional nature of timepieces. The second reason was that I was beckoned by the rarity of some watches and how collecting unique watches appealed to my personality. Last, I pointed out that timepieces were mostly intrinsically artistic. Not only are skilled watchmakers able to produce aesthetically beautiful watches, but also those that artistically use a set of necessary elements to indicate information and look good in the process.

So over time, I’ve met many people who have identified with these three elements as well, but what is great is how each collector or watch lover seems to manifest their appreciation of watches in a special way. Let’s take the South Korean artist who prefers to go by the name Eerune. As a professional illustrator, he combines his design skills with many of the watches he loves, for a unique, almost pop art visual presentation of aesthetic and story.

aBlogtoWatch took the opportunity to interview Eerune, soon after making his watch fan art public. You can see that he has been inspired by Omega, Rolex, TAG Heuer, Panerai, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Bell & Ross, and Breitling for starters. I look forward to seeing where his art may take him. Eerune also happens to operate the design studio SUBURB201. His watch art website is apieceoftimepiece.com.

One thing that’s especially neat about the X1 show watches, even however, is that no matter how eccentric each design gets, it still conveys Bell & Ross’ core layout language; that square 45mm case, screwed together at each of the four corners. And though this DNA does take through to the Bell & Ross Watches Singapore Replica BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire, were it not for the instance signatures, this one may be confused for something apart from a Bell & Ross watch, because the primary timekeeping cues (the hour and second hands) were shrunken into the upper 12:00 region of the dial. While this will give lots of chance to enjoy the flying tourbillon’s motion against all the clear, negative distance from the sapphire, it does detract somewhat from overall utility and legibility in comparison with the brand’s pilot and instrument watches — something that other Experimental offerings possess maintained.The steely grey lines of their 3Hz manually-wound BR-CAL.288 movement structure cast a well skeletonized, industrial comparison against each of the translucent elements on the watch – even the strap is translucent rubber, which should result in some intriguing wrist shots. Part of the thought, besides the novelty itself of a totally transparent case, is that the motion as well as the screws holding the case together are visible from about every angle. The only part of the watch which isn’t completely see-through is the massive mainspring barrel itself, which provides 100 hours of power reserve, and is tucked conveniently behind the luminous hour and minute hands at 12:00, preserving some level of legibility to get timekeeping.In keeping with the more exclusive traditions of this Experimental collection, just eight pieces of this Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire have been generated. However, this particular piece is currently the most expensive of all the X1 offerings – even beating out the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon Rose Gold Diamond version by a healthy margin – with an asking price for your Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire of $385,000.

Eerune’s self portrait

aBlogtoWatch (ABTW): Watches are tools, but they are also art. How did you discover the artistic side to timepieces and how do they inspire your own art?

Eerune: Clocks themselves have human-like aesthetics to them. I love the charm and feel that watches have. From one watch to another, I feel that each watch has their own unique story to tell, which is very fascinating. I understand the appeal of watches, and I want to express that through my illustrations. Because of that the A Piece of Timepiece project began.

ABTW: You take watches you like and create compositions that seem like a combination between pop art and graphic design. How would you describe your style? How do you create these?

Eerune: I studied graphic design as an illustrator and was heavily influenced by pop art. My work seems to reflect that style. I see people look at my work, and I hope that they’re interested in them–of course, they can see my love for watches, but also–see how I recreate them in the most attractive way to those who feel the same way I do. I tried to make the images as simple as possible. In short, I try to express it in a powerful and minimalist-like manner. My work exists only as images online, but will be available for print soon. In that case, the nature of my work should be a little clearer when seen in first-hand in person.

ABTW: What was the first watch you decided to emulate in your personal style? Why did you choose that one?

Eerune: The Omega Speedmaster was the first watch I worked on. Omega’s “Dark Side of the Moon” was a tribute to space exploration and going to the moon, and that was my main influence for “A Piece of Timepiece.” This year, IWC will release a new version of the Aquatimer. I really like the design and I am looking forward to the release of it. The nice clock figure yields a very noticeable representation of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and my project related to it should be ready fairly soon.
