Bell & Ross BR-X1 TOURBILLON SAPPHIRE CHRONOGRAPHvsGarrick S3 Deadbeat Seconds - Power Reserve Gold

The Bell & Ross BR-X1 TOURBILLON SAPPHIRE CHRONOGRAPH is noted for its modern, Transformer-like 45mm case and superb, qualitative finishing on its skeletonized sapphire dial. The manually wound BR-CAL.283 movement offers a 4-day power reserve. However, the movement's use of a Dubois-Depraz module over an ETA base is a point of consideration against competitors with in-house calibers, and the watch carries a high price point, with limited editions ranging from $163,000 to $238,000. Overall, reviewers highlight the Bell & Ross BR-X1 TOURBILLON SAPPHIRE CHRONOGRAPH's impressive finishing and unique aesthetic as key strengths, despite its considerable cost and modular movement construction.

The Garrick S3 Deadbeat Seconds - Power Reserve Gold is praised for its striking design, exceptional finishing, and open-worked dial revealing the in-house calibre DB-G07 movement. Reviewers note its accuracy tested to less than +3 seconds per day and a 45-hour power reserve. Some find the 42mm case size too large, and certain areas of the movement finishing could be more refined. Overall, reviewers rate the Garrick S3 Deadbeat Seconds - Power Reserve Gold highly for its visually striking design and hand-finished movement.
