What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Bell & Ross BR-05 SKELETON GOLD

The Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Gold is praised for its distinctive and attractive design, warm color, intricate skeletonized movement, and balanced 40mm wearability. However, its price, particularly at over $30,000, is widely considered a significant drawback, especially given its Sellita SW300-based movement. Some reviewers and owners note the movement's 38-hour power reserve as a potential drawback for enthusiasts. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Gold to be a visually striking watch, but its high price point relative to its movement is a consistent point of contention.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and skeletonized dial are highly praised. The 38-hour power reserve is a point of concern.

Bell & Ross BR-X2 tourbillon skeleton micro rotor

The Bell & Ross BR-X2 tourbillon skeleton micro rotor is praised for its novel design, integrating the case and movement into a single sapphire crystal structure. Owners find the 42.5mm watch comfortable for daily wear and note its masculine appeal. Reviewers flag that the satin-finished hands can blend too much with the dial, impacting legibility.
