Hand Made Watch by Jonathan Ellery and Bell&Ross


The choice has been made thanks to the creativity of the brand and the iconic status of Bell & Ross watches. Handpicked to work together, Bell&Ross are delighted to have collaborated with Jonathan Ellery in creating a one off unique watch. The artwork for this timepiece is based on Bell & Ross BR01-92 Radar watch, in which three concentric circles rotate to indicate hours, minutes and seconds. This take is a conceptual piece, and telling the time by it requires mastering its rotational rhythms; the explosive motif comes together only twice in 24 hours as the circles rotate.

Wallpaper* Handmade – August 2010


For its most ambitious issue to date, Wallpaper* has brought together and briefed some of the world’s leading designers, craftsmen and manufacturers to produce unique furniture, fittings, foodstuffs, fashion and more. The August Handmade issue is dedicated to this astonishing collection of one-off designs and delicacies, chronicling their production and presentation at this year’s Salone del Mobile.
