I am, to be honest, a huge fan of Brellum and pretty much everything that Sebastien Muller has done with his brand.

This is the latest iteration of Brellum's (now) signature take on the chronograph. Unlike many brands out there both mighty and wee, you know a Brellum when you see one even without the text or logo. When I think of how long Brellum has actually been in business, it amazes me how clearly Mr. Muller has defined his brand and its flagship.
