Jakarta, July 28, 2011 - In collaboration with Time International, BELL & ROSS hosted an exclusive by-invitation-only cocktail party for their customers at Jack Rabbit, Jakarta. At this event BELL & ROSS introduced the Vintage Collection with a model in several versions.

The revolutionary Vintage Heritage pieces are a tribute to the pilots and officers of the historical era, replicating BELL & ROSS iconic design. To evoke the 40s feel, Vintage Heritage watches feature an ergonomic round casing, an anti-matte black carbon finish inspired by the airplane's instrument panel, a curved glass made of sapphire crystals and a natural classic leather strap. Influenced by airplane dashboard clocks, this collection also maintains a vintage dial to optimize legibility by using sand colour on the hands of the dials, and on index and numerals. The Vintage Heritage watched also includes two quality movements: an hours, minutes and seconds version, and a chronograph version.

Upon registration, a saxophonist played at the door to welcome the guests. Guests also took the opportunity to snap some photos with the 'pilots' and their female companion with the 1947 Bel Air DeSoto vintage car outside the venue.
