Belamich had begun his watches career in [[1993]] as an intern at [[Helmut Sinn]], the former head and owner of the Frankfurt watch company [[Sinn]]. At Sinn the two let also build their first watches, till they gradually moved to an own independent production.

Meanwhile, Bell & Ross has successfully established itself as a fashion brand. Sensation was caused by the model range [[Bell & Ross BR 01-92|BR 01]], which is a perfect replica of an aircraft cockpit watch. Likewise, the world's first [[dive watch]] Hydromax, which set a world record with a [[water resistance]] of up to the maximum possible depth of 11,110 meters.

Today, Bell & Ross is presenting as a diversified company that has established an extensive network of 500 outlets in 50 countries around the world.

Gérard and Alain Wertheimer, owners of [[Chanel]], have an investment in Bell & Ross, which uses their [[G&F Châtelain]] production facility.
