Mister Chuckles: Bell & Ross BR 01 Laughing Skull

Bell & Ross ventures into the field of automata with the BR 01 Laughing Skull. The brand’s newest skeletal grimace moves its mandible during winding, as if tickled silly by its owner’s touch. The animation is achieved by the manufacture movement BR-CAL.206, a skull-shaped calibre suspended in the middle of the watch with four bridges serving as the connecting bones between main plate and case. The expressive face of death is further decorated with clous de Paris guilloche, sword-shaped hands and diamonds (in select models) for powerful levity on the wrist.
