B.R.M CHRONOGRAPHES WELCOMES A NEW DRIVER AMBASSADOR B.R.M Chronographes, the watchmaking house emblematic of motor
sport, is proud to announce its new partnership with a young driver: Saad Deresnes

A VOCATION BORN EARLY From the age of 8, Saad stated with conviction that he wanted to become a racing driver. Yet nothing naturally destined him
to enter the demanding world of motor sport. Coming from a family far removed from this exacting universe, convincing his parents was the first challenge.

It was not until the end of 2022, at the age of 10, that he first experienced the sensations of karting at the wheel of a rental kart. An immediate revelation.

Determined to transform this nascent passion into a genuine sporting project, he pressed his father to participate in the Sodi World Series — Junior Cup events, competitions allowing young drivers aged 8 to 14 to compete against one another.

In September 2023, he thus took the start of his very first race on the Vuiteboeuf circuit, against some twenty experienced drivers. Despite an obvious lack of experience and only two practice sessions on this track, Saad secured a remarkable 9th place. A defining result which confirmed his potential.

THE MOVE TOWARDS COMPETITION Driven by an ever stronger desire to progress, Saad undertook in November 2023 a test in
competition karting Mini 60cc on the l'Enclos circuit in France. This trial marked a decisive turning point: competition became self-evident.

The 2024 season then marked his true début in championship racing with his participation in the Vega Trofeo — IAME Series Switzerland, in the X30 Junior category, within the Spirit Karting AG team and under the coaching of Nicolas Rohrbasser.

A year of intense learning during which he discovered the physical, technical and strategic demands of the highest level.

THE EXCELLENCE OF FRENCH TRAINING In 2025, Saad took a major step by being selected to join the prestigious FFSA Academy. This immersion
enabled him to take a decisive leap forward in every respect: physical preparation, mental approach, strategic management and technical understanding of performance.

Thanks to this constant progression, Saad was also selected to participate in the 'Arrive and Drive' World Cup, organised by the FIA in Malaysia.

At the same time, he increased his entries in French and Swiss national competitions, as well as several international events with Team RLS, progressively establishing his consistency and his ability to compete at the front.

2026: CONFIRMATION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL The year 2026
marks a further major stage in his ascent.

Saad Deresnes has been chosen to represent France in the FIA Academy Trophy championship and officially joins the French Junior National Team.

His objectives are clear:

— To win the French Junior Championship — To conquer the FIA European championship
— To perform consistently in international competitions in order to contend for the podium.

An ambition sustained by already impressive discipline and maturity.

A SPECIAL EDITION IN HIS IMAGE In order to seal this partnership and to support this rising talent, the manufacture has developed an exclusive
limited series of 10 pieces in his colours: the DDF6-46-SAAD DERESNES. A unique horological creation which expresses Saad's energy, determination and sporting identity.
