Rosewood and Bronze Re-Imagine Bell & Ross Icon

BR series

Originally inspired by instrument panels in vintage cockpits, the BR series by Bell & Ross has been well received as an iconic member of the pantheon of watches inspired by the past. Experimenting with various materials like ceramic, titanium, forged carbon and precious metals, the softened square design has proved remarkably adept at reinventing itself. More often than not these new reveals cultivated a feel of power and speed with a direct relationship to motorsports in one form or another.

As well as the BR series worked with these contemporary materials and designs, it’s truly remarkable that this canvas has also adapted so perfectly to a throwback look accented with Rosewood.  The warmth of the wood is combined with either bronze in the time only and chronograph versions, or rose gold in the venerable tourbillon.  These particular variations speak to a maritime heritage without shouting, and simultaneously highlight the uncanny adaptability of the basic frame. Each edition will be released on a limited basis with 500 of the time only ($8,700), 99 of the chronograph ($25,800) and 20 tourbillons ($169,000) to be offered.

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but it’s one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And it’s this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealing—at least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, it’s easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you don’t have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold out—yet.
