Mechanical watches can be beguiling and bewildering all at once, as the Bell & Ross BR 03 Cyber Ceramic demonstrates. While you might identify the design-forward watchmaker with the circles-within squares aesthetic, it is really so much more ambitious. By the way, even here in the Cyber Ceramic limited edition (a celebration of angularity if we ever saw one), there are plenty of circles interacting with squares; curves and straight lines too. On the face of it, the Cyber Ceramic is a simple automatic time-only watch that modestly eschews any indication of seconds. Yet, this is no humble dress watch and its complexity is evident in its shape – that goes for both the matt ceramic case and the manufacture movement.
