BRM – THE STORY OF INCEPTION
BRM came into existence in 2003 after founder Bernard Richards finished his 2-year long experiments to launch the first-ever BRM, the GP44. Bernard was educated by the famous Paris School of Watchmaking and National Institute of Gemology of Paris, in the 1970s. Hailing from a family of Jewelers, he began by designing his own lighters, pens and clocks. The eye for uncompromising detail and refined luxury was always there in him. He climbed the ladder by creating Bernard Richards, a company named after him that would initially serve as a luxury tool machining setup in 1986. A decade later, the company employed CNC machines used for crafting precision items. In 2003, BRM was incepted as a brand that would shine through as a forebearer of ultra-detailed watches and Bernard’s years of experience as a true craftsman.
WHAT SETS BRM WATCHES APART?
Just like any other luxury watch series, BRMs have some ingenuity associated with them that make you want to Buy BRM Watches. It’s regarded as one of the few brands that are a collector’s true delight, with its elegant yet sporty finish.
EVERY WATCH IS A LIMITED EDITION
You read that right! BRM is not a mass manufacturer of watches. At the company’s latest high-capacity workshop, only 2000 pieces are produced every year, including all of its collections. Every watch is crafted by hand with techniques known to only a handful of Bernard’s handpicked craftsmen. According to the founder’s philosophy, he wanted to sell his watches to one person at a time as a rare taste of luxury than mass produce watches for just everyone.
BRM USES ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
Luxury watches have a tradition of inculcating rare metals and jewels in the production, that distinguish them from the rest. BRM has a history of using fine materials such as 18/8 Stainless steel, Titanium, Carbon Fibre, Fibre Glass to produce some record-breaking ultra-lightweight watches. The RG-46 model is a record-setter with just 46 grams of weight. Every single detail of this brand is taken to the highest level.

BRM’S ATTENTION TO DETAIL
BRM is all about its craftsmanship. Bernard himself is a virtuoso of handcrafting watches and with his intense devotion to luxury has rendered the brand an untarnishable image for detailing. Just so as to exemplify, a typical luxury watch case has about 1-3 components in its construct whereas, BRM has up to 18. The watches are crafted from 3 meter long bars of Titanium which is lighter than steel but 6 times as strong.
CONTINUOUS INNOVATION
If we look at the type of replica watches BRM has created over the years, the design has taken some unconventional turns.
For instance, the Record TB watch introduced an uplifted face representing the dash of a car. The exotic design breaks the monotony for the fans to rejoice.
The Birotor is also a fine example of unique craftsmanship, which introduced two self-winding rotors in watches for the first time. This innovation pposedly took years for Bernard to master.
The watch also used Tantalum, which is highly anti-corrosive and a rare Earth material. Tantalum is a material which most manufacturers stay away from because the metal is so dense and difficult to work with.
