B.R.M Chronographes

B.R.M Chronographes

Established in 2003, Bernard Richards Manufacture, the French luxury manufacturer was born out of the commitment and passion for precision engineering of its founder, Bernard Richards.

Wholly independent, and nestled in the restful old French Vexin region, the manufacture produces nothing but unique, handcrafted, tailormade models that clients themselves can help design through the brand’s online configurator. B.R.M has been innovating from the start.

Among it’s first and only : the world’s lightest automatic chronograph, a timepiece with three hands mounted on shock absorbers, a full-floating system watch made especially for golfing, an exceptional, extra-flat mechanical wristwatch and the first watch for multiple time zones.

Relentlessly, the B.R.M team continues to deliver a superior luxury product using notable materials, research and technology and the savoir-faire
of French artisans. B.R.M Chronographes has become a key partner in French and international motorsports.

It is in keeping with this philosophy that in 2021 the manufacture decide to launch a collection of jewelry under the B.R.M Luxury brand.

ARTISANAL CRAFT

Watchmaking, spotting, precious-stone setting, hand-lacquering – B.R.M’s tradecraft is manifold, and embodied in our engraver/lathe-hand, our turner/miller, our watchmakers, and the rest. Every one of them is an expert, passionate artisan with indisputable know-how, perpetuating ancestral techniques, innovating, and creating new products to meet the clients’ demand and our own quality standards. They are men and women plying their exacting trades every day, by hand, to fashion our one-of-a-kind watches and jewelry.

TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERTISE and LIMITLESS CREATIVITY

UV (ultra-violet) ink-jet printing on crystal. Since its founding, in 2003, the house of B.R.M has continuously improved its technical means through training and by investing in the latest digital production equipment.
