We take you behind the scenes of the Bell & Ross x The Rake collaboration, offering insights into the creation's unique narrative; and we explore the brand's evolution since its inception in 1992, when Carlos Rosillo, alongside designer Bruno Belamich, embarked on a journey to redefine the watchmaking landscape. Starting with their partnership with Sinn and eventual backing from Chanel, leading to their move to Switzerland, Bell & Ross’ journey is a testament to Rosillo's strategic acumen and dedication.
