Several other brands have already marked their territory with the Sapphire case. What does Bell and Ross aim to achieve by copying others? [nt]

Here's another new sapphire watch from Bell & Ross - the BR-X1 Tourbillon Sapphire
This Bell & Ross BR-X1 Tourbillon Sapphire is a limited edition of 8 pieces. Case is 45mm and made from 5 sapphire blocks carved and then assembled together with screws. Retail price is a jaw dropping $385,500. In any case, I feel the design is very clean...
Once a sapphire case is released, others follow.
It's a very cool design for B&R. I have tried on the Gruebel Forsey sapphire model which was neat too. But I personally prefer precious metals. Thanks for sharing Anthony!
Thank you for that shot, which sets things into perspective...
... it seems those sapphire watches are made for the photo studio, all that crystal clear appeal suddenly disappears when put into real life. To Alkiro‘s point on the screws: not only they are not aligned but they also look ‚cheap‘... Cheers Henrik
