OK what are your thoughts about this fairly new watch maker?

I have both an BR01-94 Titanium Chronograph and a BR03-92 Orange (limited edition)



Thanks

I like the look of them very much, though I do wonder what they are like to wear?

Also the dial of that chrono looks just a tad busy ...

they look 3.99 off the market to me , it may be a bad piccie but the one on the right doesnt even seem to have it's screw slots aligned the same direction? even a half decent home DIYer would get that right when fitting door knobs never mind on a watch!

I do like the instrument range. B&R are a bit fashionable at the moment but they are interesting enough to stand the test of time. The military models are also nice. Early models by for them by Sinn and quartz models slightly cheapen the brand as does the ETA movements but I would still have one ( Orange chronograph large size instrument - also my PC screen saver.

Not a fan of the Instrument range, but I did consider a Vintage 126 against a Speedmaster day/date for a while, although in the end I decided I didn't like either of them enough to buy.

Check out the new Instrument on the B&R website. Would post a pic but not sure how!

If you like watches then this will make you make you horny

Apparently has a tourbillon

Tertius, they're not that bad to wear. Just takes a little getting used to.

Trackcar, the picture isnt that good, it was taken in a rush at the time. If there's another vmax I'll bring it along.

If you think the BR01 (46mm) in chrono is busy looking, just think how bad the BR03 (42mm) looks.

Quote F1sh and you'll see what you need to do - 'host' the image on something like www.imagecave.com then use the same format as F1sh has done on your message.

I have just purchased a BR03-92- gets delivered in a few weeks. Can't wait, its a great looking watch, with a beautifully subtle, yet very striking design, simply oozing class and dripping in contemporary cool. Such a different piece compared to what is on offer from other comparably priced and seemingly more 'traditional' marques.
Also, the BR01 power reserve watch is utterly staggering.
