WW1-92
Te c h n i c a l N o t e s
By creating the Vintage WW1 (Wrist Watch 1), Bell & Ross pays tribute to the first wristwatches worn by pilots in the 1920s, a design born from the need to
keep their hands free. Drawing its inspiration from a point of evolution midway between the pocket watch and the wristwatches of the 1940s, the WW1 brings
together the design elements of the Roaring Twenties: a large fob-watch type diameter, wire lugs welded to the sides of the watch giving the impression of
horns, and a thin leather strap, elegant yet strong.
