You are unique, so is your BRM

Well-known for its unique models, Bernard Richards designs and produces original, authentic, made-to-measure watches in his manufacture that go far beyond watchmakers’ production standards. Firmly attached to the wearer's wrist, just as racing drivers are strapped into their bucket seats, each BRM watch is entirely hand-made and can be customised at will, thanks to the revolutionary configurator designed by the brand.

Like many drivers, teams, circuits, championships and brands have already done, you too can adopt the sportsmanlike style that has made the manufacture's name.

Whether you are a member of a club, working in a garage, a car dealership or elsewhere, BRM gives you the option to customise your very own series of watches bearing the design of your choice, with a minimum order of just five models. *

Take a look at a few of our pieces:
* Logo on the crown for a minimum of five watches, and on the dial for a minimum of 25.

with Duqueine Engineering



Born out of the meeting of two men passionate about motorsports: Gilles Duqueine (a great industrialist specialised in composites for aeronautics) and Yann Belhomme (motorsports engineer), Team Duqueine Engineering is an ambitious team which today occupies some of the top positions of the French and European championship tables.

Innovation and responsiveness are the watchwords for this audacious team. After two seasons in Ferrari F458 GT3s, the team is now going into prototypes, having acquired two LMP3 Ligier JSP3, which will take part in the ELMS and the GT Tour, while at the same time keeping a Ferrari F458 GT3 for the GT Tour.

Competitive spirit, attention to the smallest detail, passion for motorsports and the expectation of superior quality are a few examples of what brings Team Duqueine Engineering and BRM Chronographes together. As such, it is only logical that the two entities should partner to create a unique model: the T12-44-Duqueine Engineering.

After an article in Le Parisien daily newspaper, and a segment on Radio Enghien last month, BRM was featured on the evening news programme for the Paris area on the TV channel France 3.

Step into BRM's world and discover the workings of the manufacture.

Partner of the Rouen 24 Hours



On 30 April, BRM Chronographes became the official timekeeper for the Rouen 24 Hour powerboating race. Held each year on 1 May, the Rouen 24 Hours is one of the biggest powerboating endurance races in the world. The best competitors from over 20 nations come head to head in the heart of the city around the Ile Lacroix, which for the duration of the Rouen 24 Hours becomes the world's powerboating capital.

"Without a doubt, BRM Chronographes is a partner of choice for an event like the Rouen 24 Hour powerboating race. The brand's prestige, the excellence of its watches, and BRM Chronographes' long-standing and passionate commitment to motorsports all give it genuine credibility. This partnership is an important step for us, awaited by many people here, and we are excited about this association. BRM Chronographes has an incredible sporting heritage, a symbol of the quest for performance and reliability at the highest level."

Philippe Buquet, President of the Rouen Yacht Club.

To celebrate this high-speed partnership, BRM Chronographes and the Rouen 24 Hours have worked together to design a unique customised watch, the V6-44-BG-24H Rouen.

A look back at the F1H2O championship

In 2015, BRM Chronographes announced its partnership with F1H2O as official timekeeper of the UIM F1H2O World Championship and as a sponsor of the Pole Position Championship.

From 2 to 4 March, the Dubai Grand Prix took place, a stand-out, spectacular event in Formula 1 boating, during which the manufacture was delighted to lend its colours to this exciting partnership.

Our congratulations go to Philippe Chiappe, who won the race!

World Formula 1 powerboating champion

What led you to the world of powerboating?

I was born in the same year as the Rouen 24 Hours, I grew up hearing about this legendary race, and one day I had the opportunity to start out in the S850 category in endurance. I did not really enjoy my first experience to be honest, it was a very difficult year, and the smallest class in Rouen is very tough.

I then continued in the French championship the same year, and for the first time in my life saw Formula 1 in Chalon-sur-Saône. That was the day my passion began, I wanted to be at the helm of these machines...

I then contacted Philippe Dessertenne, who was the only French driver in Formula 1, to ask how I could get into it. The day we met, we instantly became friends, and today, apart from being my team manager, he is my friend. What is more, he knows the sport inside out. He has experienced the stress, the pressure, the fear on occasion, and it is a real pleasure to share all of that. Without him I would never have had this career, nor even continued with this sport.

Two world championship titles in Formula 1, five world endurance championship titles, what a record! You appear to have reached the upper echelons, how do you see your career so far?

My greatest source of pride is that this individual record is in fact collective. I have had almost exactly the same team since I started out, and together over the last 12 years, we have climbed through the ranks to be the best in the world today.

What are your goals for the coming years?

I wanted to stop after winning my first title in 2014 to be sure to walk away with positive memories. We had won everything (Formula 1, endurance, the French championship, the Rouen 24 Hours), we couldn't do better if we continued, and I am also a Formula 1 veteran.

Our Chinese partners pushed for me to continue, and all the staff too. We took all the titles again in 2015.

As such, we decided to continue for another season in 2016, and we will see what the results are like at the end of the year.

Actually, I do not want to stop, but I especially do not want to stop at a time in my career where I will no longer be at the highest level to bring the team a win. I could not stand to be the cause of poor results. That is why we are also starting to work to prepare the future, with my co-driver Léo, and on several other possibilities for the future.

I am very lucky to be able to decide when I will stop, and to be supported by my sponsors and my team. It is also my great strength, I am aware of it, it is them I am fighting for in every Grand Prix, to make them proud of their driver.

You discovered BRM not long ago, a word on this?

I just knew the brand from specialist magazines, I was already a fan... The brand is in the image of our passion, the design and technology represent everything we love. And now, I have one on my wrist.

It's the best!
