About The Bell & Ross BR-X2 Tourbillon Sapphire

The Bell & Ross BR-X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Sapphire is one of the brand’s most technically ambitious creations, combining a transparent sapphire case construction with a flying tourbillon and micro-rotor movement. Limited to only 8 pieces worldwide, this reference represents an ultra-rare fusion of contemporary watchmaking, architectural design, and haute horology.

The fully transparent sapphire case allows collectors to admire the movement from every angle, while the suspended flying tourbillon creates an almost floating visual effect rarely seen in modern independent watchmaking. Unlike many sapphire-case watches that emphasize size and spectacle, the BR-X2 Tourbillon Sapphire combines transparent architecture with a relatively restrained and highly technical aesthetic.

The BR-X2 Tourbillon Sapphire appeals strongly to collectors seeking highly architectural contemporary watchmaking. With only 8 pieces produced worldwide, the model sits closer to independent haute horology than traditional sports watch collecting.

What Is A Flying Tourbillon?

A flying tourbillon is a tourbillon mechanism supported only from beneath rather than by bridges on both sides, creating a floating visual effect that showcases the rotating escapement more dramatically.

What Is A Micro-Rotor Movement?

A micro-rotor movement uses a smaller recessed winding rotor integrated into the movement architecture, allowing thinner construction while preserving the convenience of automatic winding.
