We have been reviewing some really special time pieces this week but the Bell & Ross BRO1-92 with Pink Gold and Carbon finish has to be my favourite.
For those that don’t know, the Bell & Ross brand has iconic associations with bomb disposal experts, explorers and astronauts. It’s rugged but stylish pedigree really is second to none.
This particular design incorporates:

The Hublot is simply a stunning time piece.
The design incorporates a polished and brushed black ceramic case that measures 44.5mm. The whole thing is held together with H-shaped titanium screws, Kevlar lateral inserts, double AR coated sapphire crystals and a titanium back plate.
The movement is automatic and incorporates 252 parts, a rhodium plated sandblasted mainplate, polished bevelled satin brushed bridges and a Tungsten oscillating weight.
The strap and buttons are black rubber, which form part of a design that has a water resistance to 100m.
You get all of this for £4,370 ($8,085)

If your limbs and muscles are aching then it might be worth giving some consideration to the new fangled luxury spa treatments that are hitting the news.
Ever heard of Watsu? No.. neither had I, but this regressive therapy is receiving a lot of plaudits at the moment.
“Watsu is a gentle form of body therapy performed in warm water, (around 35oC.) It combines elements of massage, joint mobilisation, shiatsu, muscle stretching and dance. The receiver is continuously supported while being floated, cradled, rocked and stretched. The deeply relaxing effects of warm water and nurturing support, combine with Watsu’s movements, stretches, massage and point work, to create a bodywork with a range of therapeutic benefits and potential healing on many levels.”
It’s not something I would personally go for, but I know of many people who swear by this therapy for relieving aches and pains or for simply recharging the batteries. Prices can vary from £55 ($90) to £250 ($480) per session.
