Your bucket of Bell&Ross crazy just arrived
Not content with making me happy with their GMT, Bell&Ross has just released this weird piece for Colette, some sort of artsy shop in Paris. This is some kind of tribute to Airborne Rangers, I suspect, with a little skull and two sword hands. Not sure how much it would cost in Earth money but I’m willing to bet a few grand.
Is it just me or are these guys releasing a new model every fifteen seconds.
MEN'S CHRONOGRAPH WATCHES - MEN'S DRESS WATCHES
Fugly. I still like the Space 3.
this watch was released at Baselworld 2009 – it is a tribute to military paratroopers. You should see the watch at night – the entire skull is luminescent.
The Airborne divisions were born during the Second World War. Their most famous motto was “Death from Above” symbolised by a skull that was a reminder to them of both their power and vulnerability. The skull is a constant reminder of the omnipresence of death on each military mission. By wearing the skull, the soldiers are attempting to both defy death and intimidate the enemy.
For the military it’s OK. But the concept has been coopted by an artsy shop in Paris.
