From the excellence of the details is performance born...

Once again this year, BRM exclusively revealed its new models at the Baselworld international trade show. We would like to thank all those who dropped by and are pleased to present some pictures of our latest models:

the T12-44-GU-1B and the T12-44-GU-2O

In February 2011, BRM revealed its first Gulf models. Since then, no fewer than 11 limited editions in the colours of the famous and emblematic brand have been produced. This year, following the success of the T12-44-DRIVEMASTER watches, BRM has decided to develop two 50-model limited editions of the T12-44 Gulf.

The venturi shape of this watch, directly inspired by a velocity stack, is an innovative concept in the watch-making world. The crown-protector has been given a more conical shape. BRM will stop at nothing, and decided to forge this model’s titanium case in one piece as the shape could not be machined in three dimensions on digital equipment.

This automatic chronograph encapsulates technology that opens up entirely new avenues for development.

All models available from the beginning of April 2016.

BRM's Art Car collection

Where art meets automobiles, the watchmaker with the most racing spirit has risen to a new challenge, and is presenting an exclusive series of timepieces with dynamic, colourful designs. Inspired by the famous art cars and by pop art, the BRM Art Car collection makes the most of the power of colour.

"Greys, blacks, these dark colours are hard to digest in our times... we need a little cheer," Bernard Richards

With five 100-model series, BRM's Art Car models are unique and authentic pieces designed for the pleasure of all fans.

Stop press!

For Baselworld, BRM Chronographes will exclusively present its collection of brake disc watches. Inspired by and designed in the image of a real brake disc, the DDF6-44 and the DDF12-44 are machined from blocks of metal and have titanium cases. The two stainless steel discs represent the form of a sports car's wheel discs. The crown protector in 316 L stainless steel represents a four-piston calliper. The result? An incomparable timepiece in the image of the motorsports lover's brand of choice!

All models available from May 2016.

and announces its partnership with DS!

At the 86th Geneva Motor Show, the DS brand and French watchmaker BRM Chronographes were proud to make their partnership public.

Technology, performance and refinement are the watchwords for this high-end partnership which brings together two unique brands, each one embodying French luxury and savoir-faire in their respective fields. First fruits of the partnership: the DS 3 Performance BRM Chronographes! Available in a limited edition of 39 numbered models, the car comes with a superb BRM V6-44-SA-SQ-DS3 specially designed by the manufacture in a 39-model limited edition for the lucky owners.


 
But the adventure doesn't end there!

To further improve the refined interior, which boasts stitched aged leather seats and a guilloché aluminium central console, DS once again called on its watchmaking partner BRM Chronographes, who designed the Records TB, a unique watch which recalls a dashboard, with a case at a 90° angle to allow the wearer to see the time while driving. A veritable distillation of technology, the Records TB breaks all the rules too.

The Records TB, designed especially for DS E-TENSE passengers, can either be worn on the wrist, or can fit into the car's central console.

Alexandre Cougnaud

Young Vendean driver Alexandre Cougnaud started out in karting at the age of 10. He progressed to single-seaters in 2009 with Auto Sport Academy, then moved on to Formula Renault 2.0 the next year before entering Formula 3 in 2012. Alexandre immediately proved himself a contender for the Spanish championship (the Copa), and one podium finish followed another at nearly all his races. At the end of 2013, he was scouted by several teams for the Porsche Scholarship and took part in the Porsche Carrera Cup France for the following two years.

In 2015, you had your second season in the Porsche Carrera Cup France with a first podium finish in Navarra in October, after a few disappointments at the start of the season. What is your view of this past year?

As you say, the podium finish was much awaited, despite consistent high finishes. The results of this second season in the Porsche Carrera Cup did not live up to my original goals. I was able to gain significant experience in one of France's most exciting championships. The Pierre Martinet by Almeras team did a very professional job, and it was a real pleasure to spend this season with them.

I would also like to thank all my sponsors, among whom BRM has counted itself for several seasons now, as well as my close family.

What are your goals for 2016? Are you taking part in the same championship? On the same team?

A range of factors mean that I am not participating in the France Cup this year. I would like to change course in order to have a fresh start. I am currently in talks with several LMP3 and GT teams. I had the opportunity to test the new LMP3 car in Barcelona, and it's a real pleasure!

You have been part of the BRM family for several years now. What has it brought you?

I have been lucky enough to have been part of the BRM family for five years now, and my impression is more than favourable. BRM can be found on all the circuits and in all the championships in which I have taken part. It's simple, in motorsports, everyone knows BRM. The firm has helped me enormously in terms of my image, and has allowed me to find new sponsors. I would like to thank Bernard Richards for his warm and friendly support.
