Limited Edition of 250 pieces
The BR 05 Horolum is inspired by the minerality of concrete and the stripping down of contemporary architecture.
LUMINOUS MINERALITY
The BR 05 Horolum adopts more urban and more mineral references. Its lines and finish draw on contemporary architecture. They pay homage to the minimalist and technical forms of modern buildings. Their strong rough concrete walls recall minerality, and thus the city. The hands and indices of the BR 05 Horolum are covered in Super-LumiNova® C5, the most powerful photoluminescent coating that exists. It quickly accumulates light before rendering it in the dark with long-lasting intensity, thereby guaranteeing a high level of luminescence and excellent legibility at night. Its green colour, already intense during the day, is even more powerful at night. It truly glows.
URBAN FINISH
The Horolum series has enjoyed resounding success. It has become a signature finish at Bell & Ross. The collection is characterised by the exclusive use of steel, including for the strap. The metal benefits from an innovative bead-blasted finish, lending the watch a matt mineral appearance and creating an impression of purity. This steel recalls the city and the facades of modern buildings. Like the case, the dial is made from bead-blasted steel, combining to form a uniform whole. This consistent treatment is reminiscent of urban constructions. The graphic design strives for purity and legibility. Only the essential indications are retained. The photoluminescent indices ensure perfect clarity when reading the time, even in the dark. The sapphire crystal base of the watch offers an attractive view of the automatic CAL.321 Swiss mechanism. As is often the case, Bell & Ross prioritises originality. Generally speaking in the watchmaking industry, the oscillating mass takes the shape of a metal semi-circle. This shape creates the imbalance that stimulates the movement and gives the mainspring its energy. Here, the oscillating mass is a 360° part. Its technical design is inspired by the wheel rims on sports cars.
