Description

When 2020 happened and the lockdowns began, the Negroni somehow gained a different and, to us, even more important significance.

It became a symbol of resistance against the encroaching darkness. It was almost as if, amid the miasma of confusion, its bright red colour stood out like a steadfast beacon of solidarity.

More and more around the world, it seemed like Negronis were raised almost like defiant middle fingers at the Covid pandemic, as if to say it would not crush our spirits.

As we worked on the Covid-19 Solidarity Auction run by The Rake and Revolution, which raised over USD 280,000 for organisations such as the NHS in England and the Red Cross in Italy, it was a Negroni that we would often reward ourselves with the end of each day, oftentimes with a photograph uploaded to Instagram pages such as @wei_koh_revolution, @therake and @revolution.watch with the uniting hashtag, #NEGRONITIME. Then an interesting conversation with Bell & Ross Co-founder & CEO, Carlos Rosillo occurred.

It seemed like a foregone conclusion as we discussed the phenomenon of the Negroni, which had gone from a cocktail to an incredible community symbol, to create a watch inspired by the Negroni to symbolise the friendships and shared moments we all miss so much.

We discovered that a Negroni possesses a colour unique in the world.

It is neither red nor orange, and depending on how the light hits, it can have an amber halo and even pockets of deep ruby red.

After a great deal of exchange on Pantones, we finally arrived at a colour that we feel perfectly represents the colour of a Negroni.

The dial on this 50-piece limited edition is one which uses both a sunray finish and many layers of lacquer to create an almost liquid-like hyperlush effect.

As a way of saying thanks for your continued support, your watch will also come with a WM Brown X WOLF Watch Roll, crafted in classic smooth brown leather and lined with a Negroni tweed.

The roll features WOLF’s patented Watch Guards to keep your timepieces protected, for when we can travel to meet for that drink, soon enough.

#NEGRONITIME

IIn the midst of the 2020 lockdowns, as the world raised their glasses as a defiant middle fingers at the Covid pandemic, Bell & Ross and The Rake & Revolution were inspired to honour this spirit of unity with an incredible community symbol that pays tribute to the friendships and shared moments we all missed so much. This is the Bell & Ross Bellytanker Chronograph #NEGRONITIME for The Rake.

SYMBOL OF RESILIENCE

Nicknamed #NegroniTime, the timepiece is a symbol of solidarity throughout the darkness of last year, we all shared from a distance.

LIQUID-LIKE HYPERLUSH

The Negroni possesses a unique colour that is neither red nor orange, and depending on how the light hits, it can have an amber halo and even pockets of deep ruby red. After a great deal of exchange on Pantones with Bell & Ross, we finally arrived at a colour that we feel perfectly represents the colour of a Negroni. The dial is one which uses both a sunray finish and many layers of lacquer to create an almost liquid-like hyperlush effect. At the same time, we decided to contrast the lush opulent tones with dramatic black subdials and minute track, and kept all the markers in white for maximum legibility. Finally, in keeping with the spirit of the Bellytanker, we fitted the 50-piece limited edition timepiece with a Negroni-coloured suede rally-style strap.

FOR YOU ONLY
