In this same spirit, the museum will proudly exhibit the watch brand's clocks.
Both parties are driven by the same desire to build a strong relationship with a shared vision of excellence and passion. They will work closely to jointly create activities and events promoting the relationship between the worlds of watchmaking, aviation, and heritage. The creation of a module educational and didactic linked to aviation is a future project that the teams will strive to develop.
The collaboration between the museum and Bell & Ross begins this Thursday, December 2, 2021, and will be celebrated within the museum with a grand evening welcoming their partners, including the prestigious Patrouille de France team and representatives of the Alpine F1® Team.
