A watch gift for a motorsport enthusiast

For a motorsport enthusiast, B.R.M designs mechanical watches that draw upon the vocabulary of the engine, brake disc and racing: piston-shaped case, racing numbers 12, 4 and 8 on the dial, red zone as on a rev counter. B.R.M watches start at €3,290; for a more modest budget, the Automobile selection of gift ideas starts at €95, and titanium jewellery at €150.

Choosing according to what inspires him

• The engine. The V12-44 has a steel case machined from solid and shaped like a piston, with oversized pushers and crown. It is an automatic chronograph on a Valjoux 7753 calibre. From £6,020.
• Endurance racing. The V6-44-SA features the Shock Absorbers system: its movement is suspended on six springs, designed to absorb vibrations from the steering wheel. From 3,950 €.
• Braking. The DDF6 and DDF12 are inspired by the brake discs of racing cars, with a titanium case.
• Artists' cars. The Art Car collection takes its inspiration from art cars, racing cars entrusted to artists. Dials printed at the manufacture, lacquers applied by hand, limited series. The V6-44-SA Art Car is £4,700.

For a more modest budget

The same workshop produces objects from the same universe: the Pneu keyring at £95, titanium jewellery inspired by the brake disc (Brake Titane Gris, £150) or the steering wheel (Bracelet Volant, £190), and watch winders to keep an automatic watch running.

A watch designed for him

The online configurator allows the watch to be built element by element: case, dial, lugs, crown, hands, strap, engraving. The price is displayed with each choice, and the watch is then made to order.

On request, the workshop engraves a text on the oscillating weight or on the case back crystal before despatch: a date, a name, a motto. An engraved watch is a unique piece, which is neither taken back nor exchanged.

Allow for lead time

The watches are made to order: allow 6 to 8 weeks. For a specific date, the team can assess the possibilities via the website's chat window.

The day of dispatch

At checkout, the "This is a gift" option allows your message to be enclosed with the parcel, with no prices shown; the invoice is sent to you by email. Delivery, secure and insured, is complimentary worldwide. The watch arrives in its B.R.M presentation case, with a 3-year guarantee; the guarantee may be extended to six years for 420 €.

Pay in instalments

For delivery in France, payment can be spread over 3 to 12 instalments at no charge with Pledg from €2,000, or financed over 18, 24 or 36 monthly instalments at 0% rate with Sofinco, subject to acceptance.
