Bell & Ross Chronographe Monopoussoir

 There is perhaps no more versatile complication than the chronograph. 

From race cars to rocket ships, boats to battlefields, you are likely to find a chronograph being employed to measure a plethora of tasks and times. From the Greek khrónos (‘time’) and gráphō (‘to write’), a chronograph is a watch that has the ability to record time, generally via the addition of small sub-counters that register minutes and hours. 

Bell & Ross has been making excellent chronographs since the 1990s — first, in concert with German watchmaker Sinn, and then on its own. 

This particular chrono from Bell & Ross is something special, however. For the price, this chronograph provides perhaps the greatest bang for your buck you are going to find. That’s because this isn’t your run of the mill chronograph— it’s a monopusher! Monopushers have all controls of the chronograph directed by a single pusher instead of multiple. Start, stop and reset are managed by a pusher placed coaxially within the crown. It’s a beautiful streamline chronograph system, and to find it on a watch of this cost is an extreme rarity. 

This piece measures a sizable 45mm in stainless steel and features an automatic winding movement within. Reminiscent of fantastic pilot’s watches from a bygone era, this watch is pretty damn cool.
