Founded in 2003 and
only producing around 2,000 pieces a year, B.R.M watches are created in a
small factory outside Paris. The brand takes great pride in the fact
that the assembling, encasing, setting, and final polishing are all done
by hand. Highly mechanical and dynamic in appearance, and taking plenty
of inspiration from automotive design, B.R.M timepieces are above all
else progressive and wildly unique.
From its eye-catching hands to its bold and fun strap,
this B.R.M timepiece exudes sporty individuality. Robust and resilient,
the Black PVD-coated stainless steel case is built to last. The case
measures 44 mm in diameter, 14 mm in height, and rests upon a black
leather “racing” strap with large holes, yellow stitching, and a
stainless steel prong buckle.
Other case features include an impressive 100 m / 10 atm
water resistance, an exhibition case back that lets you see the movement
in action, oversized pushers and screw-down winding crown, and a
scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
The 24-hour black dial features printed white Arabic hour
markers and minute track, and there is a 24 in red at 12 o’clock. To be
sure, the yellow lacquered skeletonized hands stand out quite nicely
against the black dial.
There is a small seconds subdial at 9, and chronograph
functions include a bold and easy-to-spot yellow center seconds hand, a
30-minute counter at 12, and a 12-hour counter at 6. This self-winding
automatic watch is driven by a base ETA 7750 caliber that possesses 25
jewels and delivers a 46-hour power reserve.
Bold, singular, and enthusiastic stylings abound in this exciting watch from B.R.M.
