Infused with multiple professional cultures, Ollivier Savelli thinks watchmaking in a different way: he is first considering watches as pieces of art, source of emotion, before considering it as a technical prowess essential to the timekeeper. All those influences are great to find original and innovating  solutions. Here, no mass production series, but only small ones and even unique pieces, for  preferred  customers looking for a completely exclusive craft-trade product combining the art of a jeweler with the great Swiss watchmaking tradition.

My Luxury view is extremely simple: allow the beautiful and the exceptional to make us forget the technics in favor of dreams. Thanks to a multicultural professional past, I can evolve in a creation process without technical and segment limits. Former ‘Compagnon du Tour de France’, a well-known traditional institution for craftsmanship learning, I use construction technics and materials from all the disciplines: traditional jewelry, watchmaking, aeronautics, automotive, architecture, applied arts, modern art, street art and even graphic novels.

I revisit and create thanks to inspirations born from contemplating a vase from the twelfth century in a museum in New York, the shape of the staircase in a Loire Castle, a masterpiece exhibited in Geneva but also in my passions, sports cars, aviation and of course in Nature, inexhaustible source of wonder. Everything is a source of inspiration!

It is the merging of arts, shapes, technics and materials used from the primitive times that leads to a very personal view on artistic watchmaking. Imbued with poetry as well as technique.

Bell & Ross – VINTAGE BR Aeronavale














Bell & RossVINTAGE BR 123 & BR 126 Aeronavale Instrument

THE NAVAL AIR FORCE
OFFICER'S WATCH

Right from its inception, Bell & Ross has been passionate about the history and values of the military. To progress as far as possible in its quest for excellence, Bell & Ross has made aeronautical instrumentation one of its primary sources of inspiration, both in terms of design and technology. This is why its watches meet the functional and ergonomic criteria required by pilots and all users of professional horological instruments.

Featuring the colour codes and rich detail of the naval officer's uniform, the VINTAGE BR AÉRONAVALE symbolises military excellence and tradition.

The prestige of the uniform

In the cockpit of a Rafale, a naval air force pilot wears a flight suit covered in pockets, for practicality and comfort. During official ceremonies, his attire changes to display military prestige.


The blue of the uniform evokes the sea. The gold of the wings, trim and buttons conveys poise, nobility and victory.

The blue/gold combination is also found on VINTAGE BR AÉRONAVALE models, which feature all the symbols and motifs that appear on naval uniforms.

ELEGANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY

Two new models have been added to the VINTAGE BR AÉRONAVALE collection: a chronograph and three-hand small seconds.

The 43 mm diameter polished steel case exudes retro chic. On both versions, the gilt skeletonised hour and minute hands stand out starkly against the navy blue sunray dial. The contrast between the two colours offers a refined air and excellent legibility.

Designed for pilots, the VINTAGE BR AÉRONAVALE Chronograph is a time measuring instrument that marries functionality and elegance. It has two additional counters with snailed guilloché decoration and a 60-minute graduated bezel in blue anodised aluminium.

The ultra-curved sapphire crystal underlines both the classic style of the watch and its strength. Made in Switzerland and renowned for their reliability and accuracy, the mechanical movements with automatic winding that drive these two versions are visible through a transparent case-back.

The watch comes with either a distressed blue calfskin strap with cinnamon stitching, or a midnight blue alligator strap with a pin buckle clasp. The shiny alligator strap of the VINTAGE BR AERONAVALE exudes classic sophistication, while the satin-like texture of the calfskin, with distressed effect and overstitching in contrasting colours, makes for a very sharp, on-trend look.

Reflecting the prestige of the ceremonial uniform worn by naval officers, the VINTAGE BR AÉRONAVALE models will seduce fans of timepieces rich in both colour and values.
