Ceramic has been a very popular material in the creation of luxury watches lately–IWC (an early pioneer of ceramic in watchmaking) has recently shown off their Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Edition TOP GUN watch, as well as bringing out an Ingenieur watch variant with a ceramic bezel. Chanel has made a big point of their use of ceramic in their J-12 watch collection, and many of the Hublot Big Bang watch variants showcase ceramic elements in different colors. Even ultra-conservative Rolex has incorporated this high-tech material in their new Yacht-Master II and redesigned GMT-Master II models.

Bell & Ross is one of the latest to jump on the ceramic trend, with the recent introduction of their BR 03-92 White Ceramic timepiece. With its bold, large, square case, the Bell & Ross BR watch design is a natural teamed up with the glossy, striking presence that ceramic gives off. These are definitely very fashion forward timepieces to begin with, and the white ceramic heightens that effect–so, I applaud Bell & Ross for not being shy with their vision. Ultimately, many Bell & Ross watches would be extremely appealing rendered in ceramic.
