History and production
Bell & Ross was founded in 1994 as a university project between Bruno Belamich (Bell) and Carlos A. Rosillo (Ross).[3] The company's watches were originally produced by the German company Sinn, but the partnership was dissolved in 2002 soon after Chanel became a minority shareholder, and production was subsequently moved to Switzerland. Starting with its model BR-01 in 2005, the company began producing square watches meant to resemble instruments found in aircraft cockpits,[2]
