Dear readers, long time no see! I miss you so much. The server of this blog went down lately so I wasn’t able to update this blog for a while. NOW I AM BACK!
These days happened to be the biggest feast for the wristwatch world. I am so upset that I can’t keep you updated with the most exciting new models released at the Baselworld 2010. Now I am going to fill in the gap by offering you some old news at Baselworld. If you happen to miss the event, then here is a selected replay.
The first watches I am eager to share with you are the Bell & Ross Vintage BR Carbon Series Watches – the Vintage BR 123 Carbon and the Chronograph BR 126.

The no-frilled watches feature the classic Bell & Ross Vintage design: round-shaped, slim watch hands, slender leather strap. But these two watches are even more simple than the Bell & Ross Vintage 123 watch we mentioned in the previous post.
I am especially fascinated about its two-tone watch hands. The ochreous and black watch hands matches with the black dial and ochreous markers perfectly. The sharp contrast and simple design make the watch exceptionally legible.
Both watches are incorporated in a 41mm casing. The case is made of something called glass bead blasted stainless steel with vacuum carbon black finishes. I don’t know what it is exactly. But who cares? The watches just look great and that’s enough.
These two Bell & Ross Vintage watches are designed to pay homage to the military, in particular the pilots of the 1940s who were the first professionals to use the wristwatch as a tool to assist them in carrying out their missions. Simple, functional and timeless, these two watches can easily hit a man’s heart. I guess the Vintage replica Bell & Ross watches will be hot this year.

I love this new line from B&R. These new watches are nothing like the instrument style pieces that B&R have become know for but are very cool.
