The time: 5:00 PM
The watch: Bell & Ross BR-X5 Carbon Orange
Off the strip, in the heart of Las Vegas’ Arts District, Esther’s Kitchen has become a dining destination that reflects Chef James Trees’ devotion to seasonal Italian cooking, bold flavors, and an atmosphere where every detail matters. For this Time & Taste experience, we pair Esther’s inventive dinner menu with the Bell & Ross BR-X5 Carbon Orange, a timepiece that takes precision engineering and contemporary design to thrilling new levels.
Our journey begins with the Italian Chopped Salad, a colorful composition of salumi, provolone, chili, tomatoes, garbanzo, and olives with a generous amount of shaved parmesan cheese atop this impressive dish. It’s fresh, vibrant, and each ingredient brings its own identity, yet together they form a harmonious whole. This is much like the BR-X5’s COSC-certified movement, where each finely tuned component ensures reliability and accuracy. Just as the salad balances creamy provolone with the briny bite of olives, the watch balances technical performance with visual clarity, delivering legibility and precision in every glance.
Next comes a wood fired sourdough pizza, topped with sweet corn, rock shrimp, chorizo, smoked mozzarella, jalapeño, and lime. It’s something I’ve never seen on a menu, so I had to order it and I’m glad I did. The interplay of smoke, spice, and citrus mirrors the layered construction of the BR-X5’s case. Built with a forged carbon shell and DLC-coated titanium, the watch is light yet resilient, much like the airy sourdough crust that holds the pizza together under bold toppings. The orange accents on the watch reflect the energy of the jalapeño and lime, reminding us that daring flavors, like daring design, elevate the entire experience.
The finale is the Chocolate Amaretto Cake, enriched with candied lemon, toasted almond, and caramel. This dessert is indulgent yet refined, a study in texture and contrast. Its deep chocolate notes and nutty sweetness parallel the BR-X5’s depth of character. The forged carbon case reveals unique marbling under the light, much like the cake’s intricate layers, while the 70-hour power reserve ensures lasting strength, echoing the dessert’s lingering finish on the palate.
The Pairing
The Bell & Ross BR-X5 Carbon Orange is more than a watch, it is a bold expression of technical artistry and modern style. With its modular carbon case, COSC-certified movement, and striking orange highlights, it embodies both high performance and individuality. Much like Esther’s Kitchen, which takes Italian traditions and layers them with creativity and contemporary flair, the BR-X5 bridges heritage and innovation with confidence.
The sapphire caseback allows a clear view into the movement, underscoring Bell & Ross’ dedication to both strength and transparency. Combined with its 100-meter water resistance and 70-hour power reserve, the BR-X5 is not just a striking accessory but a tool built for real-world performance. Just as Chef Trees’ menu respects Italian foundations while boldly pushing forward with modern combinations, the BR-X5 proves that tradition and innovation can thrive together in perfect balance.
