Hands-On: The Stealthy Bell & Ross BR-X5 Black Titanium
For a brand that has consolidated its image on tool watches inspired by cockpit instruments, the choice of material forms an integral part of the identity of its watches. The BR-X5, the larger, more resilient, more radical brother of the BR-05 luxury sports watch, returns this year with a new lightweight titanium case. Still delivering the same time, date, and power reserve indications as the first BR-X5, the matte grey titanium case gives the watch an understated yet more powerful technical look.The launch of the BR-05 in 2019 marked a turning point in Bell & Ross' trajectory as the brand's first luxury sports watch with the much-touted, but often hard to define, urban' touch. Sticking to the round dial in a square case' design with four screws on the bezel that is the backbone of this brand, the mission was to tame its dashboard instrument-watch spirit and make it more chic. To do so, the case was reworked with more refined, rounder angles and fitted with an integrated bracelet.

Grand Seiko Masterpiece Spring Drive SBGZ007 - Hands-On Review
In 1881, Kintaro Hattori created a watch manufacture that would become Japan’s most powerful and innovative watch brand on the market today, Seiko. His Seikosha Factory, meaning House of Precision, started producing quality wall clocks and pocket watches, but always with affordability in mind.
