IN THE EVER-EVOLVING WORLD of luxury timepieces, Bell & Ross consistently sets the bar with their innovative designs and meticulous craftsmanship. This season, the spotlight shines on two standout models that epitomise modern elegance and technical finesse: the BR 05 Black Ceramic and the BR-X5 Black Titanium. These watches not only push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, but also redefine what it means to wear a luxury watch in the contemporary era.

The BR line is characterised by its square cases and round dials, a distinctive design that pays homage to cockpit instruments. Over the years, this collection has expanded to include various models that cater to different lifestyles and preferences. Among these, the BR 05 and BR-X5 stand out for their unique blend of style and functionality.

While the former is designed for the urban explorer, offering a sleek, integrated bracelet and a minimalist aesthetic that’s perfect for city life, the latter is geared towards adventurers, featuring a more robust build and advanced functionalities that cater to extreme conditions. Both models reflect Bell & Ross’s dedication to innovation and craftsmanship, each bringing something unique to the table.

August Men Of Tomorrow

August Men Of Tomorrow

In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
