If not for the visual proof I would have found it hard to believe that French watch maker Bell & Ross and American motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson teamed up - but low and behold, they did (well sort of). The extent of the relationship isn't totally clear to me. For now it seems as though there is a concept (promotional) bike as seen above - and it is a one of a kind creation. Aside from the copious amounts of Bell & Ross logos on it, the modern (though vintage style cafe racer) hog has a Bell & Ross BR01-92 watch case stuck in the top of the fuel tank. I hope it pops out to be wound. I suppose this was the best place to stick the watch, or how about the wrist of the rider?
The relationship for Bell & Ross is actually with Shaw Harley -Davidson in the UK - one of England's top dealers of the popular motorcycles. Traveling to shows and events, the Bell & Ross Harley will draw attention to both brands and is a fun, but sort of impractical concept. Though I think it would be cool to take this concept further.
