Bertolucci Watches

The association of two strong and distinctive cultures is one of the key foundations of the brand, unique specificity and Bertolucci’s signature.
When Remo Bertolucci moved to Switzerland to join his Swiss wife and in-laws’ watch manufacturing business, the die is cast making Bertolucci the most Italian of the Swiss watch brands.
At the heart of the fabulous Bertolucci love story is the Italian Riviera, a provider of ceaseless inspiration and Switzerland, the technical expert. In Switzerland, Remo lets his Mediterranean influence shape and sharpen his inspiration while he completely embraces, integrates and continually perfects his in-laws’ tradition of quality and technological know-how.

Bell & Ross Watches

Bell & Ross is a Swiss watch company headed by French designers Bruno Belamich and Carlos A. Rosillo. The brand was launched in 1992, and the first watches were designed by Belamich and Rosillo and made by a German watchmaker, Sinn. They comprised a group of designers and specialists of aircraft and space controls joined with a set project: to create watches perfectly suiting a professional use. Their stated aim was to be part of the great Swiss watchmaking tradition while meeting the demands of men facing extreme situations.
Typically Bell & Ross caters for ‘professionals’ within the armed forces and members of elite security organizations. Watches such as the BR Instrument have been designed to replicate the shape of a cockpit instrument taken from an aircraft.
Bell & Ross’s first watches were virtual re-issues of Sinn models and carried the Bell & Ross logo as well as Sinn’s. The partnership ended in 2002, when Bell & Ross began its own independent production in their facilities La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
