Title: 2014 Bell&Ross event : les Invalides, Paris
Post by: Kronofred on October 19, 2014, 05:59:12 PM
Gentlemen, a promise is a due, here's my review about the recent BR event...

Bell & Ross has fixed October 15 for its major annual event, which corresponds with the launch of the exhibition "Seen from the front, representing the Great War". This exhibition will look at how contemporaries perceived and represented the front.
She has already received the "Label Centenary" to celebrate the centenary of the First World War.

Invalides is also selected for 3 years by the brand to present its full range. Steeped in history to possible!

This year, a very special guest star is presented, the BR-X1, just after the speech by General Christian Baptiste (Director of Army Museum) and Carlos Rosillo (CEO and co-founder of Bell & Ross)

The central exhibit showcases models 2014
The B-Rocket range of course with the 03-90 and 01-94

In a dedicated area, we discover the WW1-92 Ltd Guynemer :

Other beautiful timepieces caught my eye, as the WW2 Tourbillon or the awesome PW1 Minute Repeater range

But the highlight of the evening definitely remains the presentation of the new chronograph BR-X1, a watch you absolutely have to sport to be able to measure its charm and audacity:

The BROG FRench Team was represented in force for the traditional picture with Bruno Belamich & Carlos Rosillo:

Event was really perfect but night only begins....we all gather in a famous Parisian café, the opportunity for a night tableshot ...
