PASSION, TEAM WORK AND DRIVE.

Bell & Ross and Renault F1® Team are racing into the 2019 season with a stronger-than-ever relationship, kept on time by four thrilling new driver’s chronographs of the R.S.19 collection.

Passion, the forward-looking spirit that has driven Bell & Ross’ growth since 1994, underpins every aspect of the partnership between the French-Swiss watchmaker and Renault F1® Team -now into their fourth year of racing together.

It’s all about striving to conquer the extreme, working alongside the most driven talent available, manifest in high-performance mechanical engineering that creates excitement.

This shared passion is sublimated by the men devoted to this mission. The men behind Bell & Ross and Renault F1® Team are poised to take the competition to another level this year thanks to a strong new pairing in the drivers’ seats: Nico Hülkenberg (GER) and new signing Daniel Ricciardo (AUS).

MEN ON A MISSION

WHETHER IT’S TAKING POLE POSITION, OR TIMING A HOT LAP DOWN TO THE MILLISECOND, THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE CARS AND WATCHES SHARE A RARE AFFINITY.

At the respective headquarters of Bell & Ross and Renault F1® Team, two passionate teams are out to conquer time with their precision-engineered machines. The personal and professional stories behind these men of action embody identical values: performance, dedication, technical expertise and courage.

Anyone who follows the sport of F1® knows that the winning formula is always teamwork. It takes hundreds of people to get their two men over the finish line, after all, and the same goes for exceptional watchmaking. Since 1977, as with the centurie sold Swiss tradition, the engineers and designers at Renault F1® Team have sought velocity through mechanical accuracy and collaborative innovation; they share the conviction that every millisecond counts.

Teamwork isn’t just limited to the individual teams -as Bell & Ross’ R.S.19 watches prove, their respective passion really can cross-fertilize, creating more than the sum of their parts.

To celebrate the perseverance, talent and training needed to achieve the highest performance, a team-inspired campaign will accompany the new collection launch. Daniel, Nico and other extraordinary people will walk the public through the life, rituals and preparation of both Renault F1® Team and Bell & Ross teams.
