B.R.M Watches

B.R.M Watches

B.R.M is motorsport madness, machined for your wrist — full of drilled lugs, visible shock absorbers, engine-style finishing, and zero interest in playing it safe.

If you’ve ever wished your watch looked more like a race car component, B.R.M might already be on your radar. If not? Buckle up.

A Little History

B.R.M (Bernard Richards Manufacture) was founded in France in 2003 by — you guessed it — Bernard Richards, a former precision parts engineer with a serious

obsession for cars and motorcycles.

From the start, B.R.M didn’t try to copy Swiss classics. Instead, they focused on race-inspired design, CNC-machined components, and radical case shapes — often milled from

titanium or aluminum in-house. Every watch is hand-assembled in Vexin, and almost every visible part is either skeletonized, colored, or custom-finished to scream motorsport DNA.

These aren’t watches you quietly slide under a cuff — they’re meant to be seen.

What Collectors Love

B.R.M is mechanical, expressive, and unapologetically niche. Key features include:

  • Race car styling — drilled lugs, dashboard-inspired dials, and steering wheel motifs

  • CNC-machined cases — often in titanium, bronze, or anodized aluminum

  • Color-matched custom options — straps, cases, hands, and stitching can be built to match your car

  • Suspension-inspired shock mounts — like on the V6 or V12 series

  • Automatic or hand-wound ETA/Sellita-based calibers, often modified or custom-decorated

Signature models include:

  • V6 / V12 Series — classic round cases with lugs that look like suspension arms

  • R50 / R-1000 — skeletonized designs with visible shock absorbers and floating movements

  • BT Series — barrel cases with industrial edges and 24-hour layouts

  • Special Editions — B.R.M partners frequently with racing teams, drivers, and events for liveried LEs

Why B.R.M Deserves a Spot

Because it’s one of the only brands that does racing watches with actual mechanical design intent — not just stripes and tachymeter bezels.

B.R.M watches feel built, not styled. You can see the machining in the lugs, the hand-finishing on the dials, and the shock resistance mechanisms that look like scaled-down pit crew parts.

And with most models being low-production or made-to-order, you’re not likely to see another one in the wild.

For the right wrist and the right car, B.R.M just clicks.

What’s Out There Now

Inventory and releases shift quickly, but core offerings include:

  • V6-44 / V12-44 — 44mm race-themed automatics with drilled lugs and bold numerals

  • R50 / R-1000 Shock Absorber Models — highly technical builds with suspended movements

  • BT6 / BT12 Barrel Chronographs — racing-inspired tonneau shapes with engine styling

  • LEs and Racing Collabs — MotoGP, Porsche clubs, rally circuits, and custom liveries

Most B.R.M watches retail between $4,000 and $10,000, with custom builds and limited editions exceeding $15K. The brand offers full customization on many models.

Fed’s Take

B.R.M is not for the timid — and that’s why I respect it.

I’ve handled V6s and R50s, and they feel like mechanical sculptures. They’re light, loud, and totally unlike anything else in the shop. And for guys deep into motorsport culture

— track days, vintage rallies, Le Mans weekends — they hit just right.

If you want a watch that feels like part of your car, not just an accessory to it, B.R.M makes that possible.
