BMW CCA Partners With B.R.M. Chronographs

Ordinarily, I am not too fussed one way or the other about partnership watches.  

But as this is B.R.M., and I like the folks behind the brand, and because I happen to know a few members of BMW CCA, I'm running this one exactly as it was received at Tempus Fugit HQ -

The BMW Car Club of America has partnered with luxury watch maker B.R.M Chronographs to produce two stunning, limited-run timepieces in celebration of the Club’s 50th anniversary. Both an automatic and chronograph version will be offered, and each model is limited to just 50 units. These incredible works of art will be individually numbered and assembled by hand in France. The parts are made from one single block of metal, CNC machined at B.R.M, and include a five-year warranty.

“In 1969 the founding members of the BMW Car Club of America joined to form the worlds foremost BMW Club. In honor of their passion for driving and enthusiasm for the “ultimate driving machine” we have partnered with B.R.M. to offer these hand-crafted world-class timepieces. The quality and performance of B.R.M. timepieces match the quality of life and quest for performance representative of the BMW CCA lifestyle,” said Frank Patek, BMW CCA Executive Director.

 

“Being a BMW driver and enthusiast for many years, it is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to be part of the celebration honoring the 50th Anniversary of the BMW Car Club of America. Just like a BMW, B.R.M timepieces are precision machines that deliver ultimate performance, in style, with inspired design and attention to detail that only comes from the hands of master builders,” said Frédéric Gasser, President of B.R.M. Americas.

The 50thAnniversary watches will be available for pre-order beginning on Monday, September 16, at 1 p.m. EDT at bmwcca.org/shop. Once all 50 of each model are sold, no more will be produced. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most exclusive BMW CCA watches ever created.
