Bell & Ross - BR 01 HORIZON

Bell & Ross - BR 01 HORIZON

   True to the Bell & Ross philosophy, the aviation collection is inspired by aircraft cockpits, where each instrument is a reference point in terms of legibility, reliability and performance. In addition to the BR 01 COMPASS and BR 01 RADAR, Bell & Ross is introducing a new version directly inspired by aeronautical instrumentation: the BR 01 HORIZON.

 The attitude indicator, a vital instrument in air navigation, makes it possible to monitor the aircraft’s position relative to the horizon, regardless of visibility conditions. Bell & Ross designers have borrowed the graphic design of the attitude indicator to create an original and innovative display.

FROM THE COCKPIT TO THE WRIST 

 With the BR 01 HORIZON, Bell & Ross once again goes beyond the traditional concept of reading time by emulating as closely as possible the graphic style of the instrument from which it draws its inspiration – the attitude indicator.

The BR 01 HORIZON is the first in a series of watches inspired by instruments essential to air navigation.

LEGIBILITY ENHANCED BY GRAPHIC DESIGN
• A dial on two levels
·· In the background, the dial (A) comprises, similar to the original instrument, two parts representing the sky, in gray, and the earth, in black. These two parts are separated by a white horizon line marking the 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock axis.
·· In the foreground, the raised dial (C) with index marks provides optimal legibility of the hour graduations. With its bridge at 12 o’clock(D), it conceals the attachment of the hands and is reminiscent of the shape of an aviation instrument.
··Between these two levels, two hands of different shapes provide instantaneous legibility of the hours (B) and minutes (E). A window at 12 o’clock enables them to remain visible when they disappear below the bridge of the raised dial.

• The two hands echo the style of the original gauge, both in their minimalist graphic design and their oscillating movement.
• The hands and the index marks are covered in a white photo-luminescent coating that contrasts with the black of the dial, echoing the legibility principles of professional aviation instruments.
• The anti-glare, matte black carbon finish of the case is inspired by the color of an instrument panel, designed to make the dials easier to read by eliminating glare.

De Motu - DMG-11 Pilot Instrument

De Motu - DMG-11 Pilot Instrument NEW !!!












g-FORCES MEASURED ON THE WRIST. TODAY.

The De Motu DMG-11 Pilot Instrument, the world’s first device to unite a g-meter with a traditional watch, is designed and crafted in classic aviator style in line with the look and feel of a cockpit instrument. Built to defy extreme conditions with crushing g-loads, the DMG-11 will fascinate civilian and extreme pilots as well as aviation enthusiasts.





 Pilots can wear the DMG-11 comfortably on the wrist and rely upon its g-measurement and time-keeping while performing in the air or on the ground.

 
The DMG-11 is delivered in an aluminum case along with an Instrument Log Book.


A PASSION FOR FORM, FUNCTION AND FLIGHT

The design of the DMG-11 is dictated by function.
The cockpit of an airplane is a busy environment. Pilots multitask and prioritize under a massive flow of information. Add to this the conditions fighter or aerobatic pilots endure: high, cumulative g-forces. In these extreme conditions a device must deliver its information in a quick glance from the pilot. It must also have a tactile feel so that the pilot knows, with a touch on a knob, which function has been activated.
These are the requirements for the form and function of the DMG-11 . It looks and feels like a dashboard instrument, the difference being that you wear it on the wrist.


MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT BY NECESSITY

Our devices are meant to perform in high g-load environments, so we need a movement that can survive crushing g-loads.
Necessity is the mother of invention: we developed our own manufacture movement. The in-house DM 101 movement, a high-precision, temperature-compensated movement with a quartz oscillator has a special electro-mechanical design and construction. It measures accurately and precisely even in extreme aviation conditions.





 















Without revealing the inner core of the DM 101, we can say that it delivers g-force measurement and time-keeping with astonishing precision and accuracy even under high g-loads.
We put each DM 101 movement through a rigorous battery of tests, both in our laboratory and up there, in the turbulent skies of extreme aviation.
