Bell & Ross' BR 01 Cyberskull: The jaw moves when you wind the crown

The latest addition to Bell & Ross's signature skull family, the BR 01 Cyberskull, features a bold design that is more futuristic than previous skulls. Like the BR 01 Laughing Skull, which was released in 2018, the jaw moves when the crown is wound, revealing a defiant grin.

When you wind the crown, the skeleton laughs.

　Long ago, pirates hoisted the Jolly Roger atop their ships' masts, motivating their crews with its bold depiction of crossbones and skulls. At dawn on June 6, 1944, during the Normandy landings, paratroopers from the U.S. Army's 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions descended into the night wearing skulls and "Death from Above" badges adorned on their jumpsuits. The skull symbolizes death and carries philosophical significance, representing the fragility and transience of life. Memento mori (remember death) evokes the darker imagery of classical painting or the humanism of the Enlightenment.

Skeleton processing carved into a skull shape

　The main plate is shaped like a skull, and the bridges extend to all four corners of the case and are hidden in the tibia. This gives the skull the appearance of floating within the case. The impression of a skeleton dial from both sides is further enhanced by the 12 indices. Only by turning the watch over can you get a glimpse of its secret mechanism. In addition to the hour and minute displays, the jaws move when the crown is wound, creating a truly impressive animation. The balance wheel located in the skull's head transmits vibrations, proving that this watch is mechanical.

The faceted case is an evolution of the BR 01

The Bell & Ross skull has been transformed into a geometric, angular shape. As a result, owners of this model will be sure to turn heads. While the case is inspired by the original BR 01, its contours, with sharp edges, give it a very modern look. The faceted design and matte coloring are reminiscent of stealth fighter jets. The shape of the BR 01 CYBER SKULL is made up of many flat surfaces. It is a watch that is both skull-like and military, yet also modern, avant-garde, and artistic.
