@JK, lijkt erop dat B&R bestaat mede 'dankzij' (ondersteuning van) Sinn:
"Bell & Ross was founded in 1993, as a university project by lifelong friends Bruno Belamich (Bell) and Carlos A. Rosillo (Ross). With the shared vision of producing highly functional and tough watches designed for professionals, the two Frenchmen got their feet into the door of the watch industry by teaming up with Helmut Sinn of Sinn watches. This “Bell & Ross by Sinn” collaboration is one that receives mixed opinions from collectors worldwide. Although the models released under this name were for the most part, rebranded Sinn models such as the 103 and Space 1 that bore the Bell & Ross logo, there were true B&R creations that emerged during this 9-year partnership." [...] "2002 would usher in the end of the partnership with Sinn, as Bell & Ross was then purchased by fashion-giant, Chanel. "

"Indisputably the most brilliant idea of the two young inventors – when they started out as watchmakers – was, from the start, to closely collaborate with Sinn, a highly reputable manufacture. Sinn specialised in the production of dashboard meters."

Wist ook niet dat B&R tegenwoordig van Chanel is... (ook) weer wat geleerd!  ...Rolex onderzoekjes zijn leuk, maar dit ook!
