The watch: Bell & Ross BR 03-94 AERO GT
Recently, I went back to Puerto Rico to handle some family matters and while running errands in San Juan, I decided to have lunch at a restaurant I had heard good things about.
At Wilo, the culinary brilliance of Chef Wilo Benet is on full display, presenting dishes that are bold, refined, and unforgettable. This innovative Puerto Rican restaurant fuses global flavors with local traditions, creating a dining experience that is as daring as it is elegant. To capture that same daring precision, we’ve paired Wilo with the Bell & Ross BR 03-94 AERO GT, a watch born from the world of automotive design and aeronautical engineering. Together, the food and the timepiece form a celebration of artistry, speed, and modern sophistication.
The Angus Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio is a minimalist masterpiece. Delicately thin slices of beef are dusted with Parmesan and drizzled with truffle oil, each bite showcasing restrained elegance. This dish mirrors the skeletonized design of the BR 03-94 AERO GT, where less is more and every detail is exposed for appreciation. Just as the carpaccio highlights purity of flavor, the watch strips down its mechanics to reveal raw precision.
The Pork Ribs deliver a flavor explosion. Sweet, tangy, smoky, and bold. The ribs are lacquered with tamarind BBQ glaze that clings with intensity, demanding attention. They reflect the Bell & Ross chronograph’s racing DNA, built for speed and adrenaline. Much like the ribs’ balance of punch and finesse, the AERO GT combines the raw power of a supercar with the refined engineering of Swiss watchmaking.
The Pairing
Together, Wilo and the Bell & Ross BR 03-94 AERO GT make a statement that life is meant to be savored with intensity. Each dish commands the table just as each element of the watch commands the wrist. Both refuse to settle for ordinary, choosing instead to lean into bold contrasts and unforgettable experiences.
The BR 03-94 AERO GT is not just a watch, it is a design manifesto. Inspired by the Bell & Ross concept car, it boasts an open-worked dial that reveals its intricate chronograph movement. Its 42mm case exudes strength, while the chronograph complication channels the thrill of high performance. It’s a timepiece for those who want to live life at full throttle, just as Wilo’s cuisine is crafted for those who crave daring, world-class flavors.
