The range takes the [Bell & Ross BR 03 silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br03-gmt-compass) as a string point. The body of each timepiece is made in "[pure black ceramic casting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-pilot)" and features a black dial. So far, the design is kept minimalist in aesthetic but Bell & Ross and Alain Silberstein add a twist with a few whimsical elements. In particular, the collaborators experimented with bold colors and different shapes for the minute hands—a great example is the "S-shaped ticker indicating the passing of seconds." The playful Bell & Ross x Alain Silberstein ceramic watches are available as a limited-edition collection. The brands make each timepiece in just a couple of hundred units.
