The tenth anniversary celebrations ofHysek’s landmarkAbyss collection (2005-2015) were scarcely over when the manufacture announced the first models for the next decade: the newAbyss Automatic Tourbillon collection.
Three new models are being unveiled at Baselworld. The first has a rose gold case and the second a titanium case, while the third and final version features a case combining rose gold and black PVD. Each of the variations embodies the quintessence of the Hysek style: powerful lines, a bold design, assertive creativity, and particular attention to the smallest detail, with all finishings completed to the highest standards of fine watchmaking.

Transparency and geometry
The new Abyss collection is powered by an automatic tourbillon calibre. The watch’s aesthetic balance is bound up with this regulating component located at 10 o’clock – an unusual position in traditional watchmaking, but one for which Hysek has a predilection, thus asserting its complete creative independence. This is balanced by a double large date disc made from a special aluminium alloy, placed opposite at 2 o’clock. The timepiece also features a power reserve indicator at 7 o’clock.

To highlight the aesthetics of this subtle composition, Hysek has used a sapphire dial, set snugly around the edges of the tourbillon and large date display. The sculpted half-moon-shape sapphire crystal reveals the intimate details of the in-house movement – the HW03A calibre.
The new Abyss models offer breath-taking views of their mechanical innards, powered by a highly skeletonised tourbillon, with a ‘flying’ design to avoid an upper bridge obstructing the view. A large golden balance wheel contrasts with the movement’s anthracite NAC finish.

The crescent-moon-shaped cut-out in the sapphire dial is highlighted by
an appliqué arc that links the different functions of the timepiece,
reaching from the tourbillon to the power reserve, via the large date
display – a unifying feature of the Abyss that provides both aesthetic
and technical coherence. The appliqué features a dark grey
angle-polished finish, showing off the chamfers – gold- or
rhodium-plated, depending on the version.
Details for expert purists
Purists will delight in spotting all the details of watchmaking art visible throughout the new Abyss. For instance, Hysek is one of the very few manufactures to design and produce its own hands in-house. There are two distinct kinds for the Abyss.
The first is dedicated to the central time display: depending on the case finishes, they are either golden or rhodium-plated, with SuperLumiNova infills. Meanwhile the power reserve hand embodies characteristic attention to detail with genuine 3D sculpting – a contemporary, exclusive design that’s dear to Hysek’s heart.

On the rear, the new Abyss collection boasts a fully skeletonised oscillating weight, borne on ceramic ball bearings by a rhodium-plated 22-carat gold insert sporting Hysek’s five distinctive circular openings. The same motif is also to be found on the manufacture’s proprietary – and legendary – swivel lugs. These are an integral part of the firm’s DNA, ensuring its timepieces always fit snugly on the wrist and providing the last word in comfort. Hysek’s CEO, Mr Akram ALJORD himself, guarantees the individual quality of each of these three editions of 88 timepieces: the sapphire back of each of the new Abyss Automatic Tourbillon watches bears his signature.

The independent Swiss watchmaker’s latest diver’s watch is inspired by a submarine volcano
Oris’ latest diver’s watch is inspired by a submarine volcano located
off the coast of El Hierro, the most south-western of the Spanish-owned
Canary Islands.
In October 2011, strange activity was observed off the coast of El Hierro, the most south-western of the Spanish-owned Canary Islands. Patches of pale-coloured water began appearing, dead fish floated on the ocean surface, and locals noted a strong smell of sulphur in the air. It turned out that these were the first signs of a submarine volcanic eruption, some 1,000 metres below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. The eruption continued until March the following year, leaving the cone of the volcano just 86 metres below the water’s surface.

The independent Swiss watchmaker Oris has partnered with the Spanish
Institute of Oceanography (IEO) to support three student scholarships at
the Faculty of Marine Sciences at the University of Las Palmas de Gran
Canaria (ULPGC). The travel scholarships will be open to those studying
for a Master’s degree in oceanography and will include internships which
will be framed to the Master thesis project in relation to the El
Hierro volcano. Despite being a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2000, the
volcanic El Hierro is the least studied of the Canary Islands.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
Funds for Oris’s contribution to the scholarship will be raised through
sales of the Oris El HierroLimited Edition watch, a black DLC-coated
version of the Oris Aquis. The back of the watch will feature an
engraving of the volcano and its coordinates. The new El Hierro Limited
Edition watch mimics the volcanic rock with its black and grey colour
scheme, while the red used on the bezel minutes scale, dial and central
seconds hand represent molten lava.

The watch is powered by an automatic movement and has all the features
common to Oris’s collection of Aquis diver’s watches, including a
unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic inlay; a crown protection
device; water-resistance to 30 bar/300m, and a black rubber strap with
the Oris-developed safety anchor and quick-adjust sliding-sledge folding
clasp.

THE ROAD AND THE TIME... THE AEROGT
«Every year, in order to create new models, I need new sources of inspiration,»admits Bruno Belamich, our creative director. «Following the success of our B-Rocket motorbike in 2014, I wanted to go even further and design the Bell & Ross car. The aim was to produce a car that can ‘hold its own’, even amongst automotive professionals. But above all, this real challenge was a great joy,» remembers the designer. «The AeroGT concept car was the starting point for the creation of a new pair of watches inspired by the automotive world – the BR 03 AeroGT models.»
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
In 2016, Bell & Ross is firmly focusing on the motoring world, another one of its designer’s favorite fields. The brand has designed the AeroGT, an avant-garde concept car and GT grand sport with bodywork as streamlined as a fighter jet. This unique car, created by the watchmaker’s design studio, was not created by chance. «The AeroGT concept car is an extension of our field of expertise, which demonstrates the creative ability and strength of our brand.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
I thought that it would be interesting to combine the iconic Bell & Ross features with a car directly inspired by aeronautics,» explains Bruno Belamich. «This concept car s in actual fact an amalgamation of an aircraft and a GT.» This spectacular vehicle adopts the major principles of Bell & Ross watches: form in response to function, a passion for mechanics and, of course, a strong aeronautic overtone. Alongside the presentation of this unique prototype, two exceptional watches with a strongly car-inspired character are being released.

BELL & ROSS AT THE WHEEL
Since the very beginning, Bell & Ross has used aviation’s iconic features in the design of its watches. Bruno Belamich therefore spends a great number of his working hours studying jets, fighters and bombers. However, this mechanics, style and performance enthusiast also loves to burn rubber on the roads. This year, Bell & Ross is presenting computer-generated images of the AeroGT, an extreme grand sport car project. «The design of this concept car took just over one year. To obtain optimal results, we worked with specialists in car design,» explains Bruno Belamich. It was very important for us to create a high-performance car with realistic characteristics.» Ultimately, this stunning super car, as streamlined as a jet, shows what a Bell & Ross car might look like.
THE AEROGT, THE AEROPLANE-CAR
Half GT concept car
The Bell & Ross AeroGT draws its inspiration from grand tourers («gran turismo» in Italian). This category of racing car, first produced in the land of Pasolini in the ‘50s, encompasses the most illustrious sports cars in automotive history, and particularly the celebrated Ferrari 250 GTO, of which only 36 were produced in the ‘60s. At the time, these versatile sports vehicles were designed to be at home both at great speeds and on the track.

Indeed, some “gentlemen drivers” would travel directly by road to the competitions in which they were competing. The Bell & Ross AeroGT celebrates these legends on wheels in a highly contemporary manner.
Half AEROplane concept car
The AeroGT is a super car inspired by aviation. With this creation, Bell & Ross is keeping in touch with its aeronautic roots. Extremely low (1.10 m) and aerodynamic, the 4.7 meter-long car seems to split the air like an arrow. Its pointed forms with sharp angles and cutting overhangs are reminiscent of some stealth aeroplanes. All it needs to take off is a pair of wings. When seen from above, the drop-shaped glass roof recalls the glass cover of a jet cockpit. Meanwhile the razorthin wing mirrors are inspired by the small wings called «canards» placed on the nose of a fighter.

THE AEROGT, A CONTEMPORARY TECHNICAL LAYOUT
Like an aeroplane, the AeroGT uses cutting-edge technologies and benefits from first-class performance. Its strict two-seater mid-engine layout looks very contemporary. In the ‘50s and ‘60s, GTs most often relied on a classic layout: front engine and rear-wheel drive. Later on, engines on the whole moved to the middle of the car, just behind the passengers.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
The AeroGT adopts this approach, which guarantees excellent weight distribution between the front and the back. Gripping the asphalt, it enjoys first-class steering performance and road handling. In order to be light yet rigid, the monocoque chassis and body use carbon fiber. As a result, the car only weighs 1320 kg. As light as a feather! When it came to designing the AeroGT, Bruno Belamich didn’t hold back. He imagined the car propelled by a 4.2l V8 twin-turbo engine, combined with the latest 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
The Bell & Ross super car would boast 610hp – more than ample power
in all situations. Press the accelerator pedal and its full horsepower
is let loose. The car reaches 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds. The two
turbos grant the car maximum torque at both low and high engine speeds
for stunning acceleration.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
Overtaking becomes a pure formality. As for its maximum speed, the AeroGT is intended to reach a peak speed of 315 km/h. For this reason, the Bell & Ross concept car notably features a pitot tube, installed at the top of its right wing.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
This type of probe, which can be found in aeronautics, measures very high speeds. Meanwhile the heat-resistant ceramic brakes have the delicate task of stopping this road-borne missile. Finally, the designers opted for a rear-wheel drive layout to maintain the driving pleasure and reactivity of the car. There is nothing boring about driving the AeroGT!
BR 03 AEROGT, WATCHMAKING MECHANICS
The BR 03 AeroGT watch duo is directly inspired by the AeroGT concept car. Admittedly, the automotive and watchmaking industries share a lot of similarities. Both domains are concerned with motors and performance as well as time and precision. They both function using gears, escapements, screws and cams. There is also a very old tradition of making watches for car drivers, mainly chronographs intended for professional track drivers. It therefore seemed only natural to combine the two with the AeroGT concept car and the BR 03 AeroGT watches.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
«Both the BR 03 AeroGT watches and the AeroGT concept car are ultra-technical and high-performance,” assures our creative director. The design studio created two variants: a chronograph embodying the very essence of the «automotive watch» and a more classical three-handed watch. These watches feature a steel case that recalls the fuselage-style body of the AeroGT project. For even greater strength, the designer boosted the proportions and shapes of these models to give them a sportier and more streamlined look. Their crowns are made using red aluminum, an extremely light alloy often used in sports cars.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIGFOTO
Their open-worked dials are formed from layers to give them an intriguing impression of depth. Meanwhile, the skeletonized mechanism of these BR 03 AeroGT watches has been designed to allow a glimpse through the movement while making them lighter. This reduction work can also be seen in racing cars. For these watches, the aim was to highlight the sophistication and beauty of the watch motor. The AeroGT concept car also allows its mechanics to be admired, which are housed under a smoked glass window.
BR 03-92 AeroGT
In the wake of the AeroGT, this three-handed version is also powered by a skeletonized mechanism. It presents a central hour, minute and seconds display. The seconds’ hand is cultured red, as is the small fixed triangle indicating 12 o’clock. The latter recalls the dashboard counters of GT sports cars.

BR 03-94 AeroGT
A direct expression of the AeroGT concept car, this very contemporary-looking chronograph watch is the archetypal driver’s watch. Its mechanism is devoted to measuring short time intervals. The skeletonized dial features metal hour-markers. The two chronograph counters on a grey-tinted crystal display the hours and half hours. Meanwhile the large hand at the center of the dial shows the seconds. The whole is completed by a tachymeter scale. This watch function is used in particular to calculate the speed of a car. To ensure continued good visibility, even when driving at night in a downpour, the hour-markers and hands are coated with photo luminescent material. Also to improve legibility, the hands of the chronograph are red-cultured. The aluminum start push-button is also painted red to encourage action. A date function can be found at 3 o’clock.

Stowed securely on the wrist
These two versions feature black quilted leather straps reminiscent of luxury car interiors. Their micro-perforations and red topstitching recall the seats of the best sports cars.
In 2014, Bell & Ross took a mechanical turn with the BR 03 B-Rocket watch duo. Now, the watchmaker is slipping behind the wheel of a concept car with the two BR 03 AeroGT models. These forays demonstrating the creative strength of the brand have already resulted in a retro-futuristic motorbike and an avant-garde concept car. Which field will the aviation loving watch brand explore next? Watch this space...

The observer watch
The first deck watches, also known as B-Uhr watches, are considered to be the marine time pieces developed in the 18th century by English watchmaker John Harrison. They represented an important development in nautical navigation. Over time, deck watches became particularly established in the military, where they were used for locating and navigation, for coordinating procedures and for keeping to schedule.

With the 856 B-Uhr, we continue this tradition, combining the characteristic, historic look of a B-Uhr with a comfortable 40 mm diameter. As is customary with traditional B-Uhr watches, the hour hand of the 856 B-Uhr has been reduced. It points to a separate, inner hour circle, while the dominant minute hand indicates the minutes around the outside.
Click on themouse wheelto seethe large size ... BIG FOTO
Just like the numerals, indices and triangular main marker, the minute hand is highlighted by an ivory-coloured coating. The ordering of hour hand and minute hand on the black dial follows historical specifications: during operations, minutes were the more important unit of time, and it was important to be able to read them quickly and accurately.
