There are accessories for 2-wheel enthusiasts that require a certain amount of passion to justify their price, but the BRM V-Twin plays directly in another league. It is not a conventional watch to which a “engine decoration“. No, BRM has designed an authentic sculptural piece around the architecture of an engine V-Twin.
The result combines 2 cylinders with their corresponding cooling fins, rocker covers, small exhaust manifolds and a sphere located right in the center of the “V”. And although it does not have pistons nor does it produce any sound, visually it manages to convey quite well the sensation of being in front of a miniature propeller.
BRM Chronographes creates a V-Twin machined from aluminum
“The Clock Machines V-Twin” belongs to a collection of BRM dedicated to transforming different elements of the world of motors and mechanics into «table clocks«. In this case, the entire structure is machined from a solid block of aluminum, rather than using cast parts. The cylinder fins are individually machined and receive different surface treatments, while the top covers incorporate lacquered finishes.
As we mentioned before, the sphere fits into the gap formed by the 2 cylinders. Below it appear 2 perforated supports that form an X and are reminiscent of the anchors used to hold an engine to the chassis of a motorcycle. At the bottom there is also a numbered plate that identifies each piece.
Only 20 units of each finish will be created.
BRM offers the V-Twin in 6 finishes: garnet red, France blue, horizon blue, saffron yellow, coral orange and opaline white. Be careful, each finish combination is limited to «20 numbered units«, so production also depends on the chosen color. The brand also allows you to customize certain parts of the piece through specific options. Yes, there are more «sweets» available.
Among them appears a carbon spherewhich adds 450 euros to the price, while the carbon insert At the base it means another 680 euros. That is, with both options we are talking about more than 1,000 euros to be added to the price of the set. Small change…
Although its external appearance may make you think of a complicated mechanical piece, the operation of the watch is much more conventional. He V-Twin It uses a “high-precision quartz movement” and a battery that is scheduled to be replaced approximately every 3 years. Each piece is assembled by hand in France and measures 12 inches high by 14 inches wide, making it a sizeable object to place on a desk or in a luxury garage. It is not small.
The brand is also part of a collection of 7 Clock Machines inspired by elements from the world of motors, aviation, motorcycling and nautical. He V-Twin It is specifically the fourth creation in the series and shares a catalog with models inspired by a steering wheel, a brake disc, a propeller or even a reactor. Of course, this exclusivity limit is shown with a number. The current official price of BRM Clock Machines V-Twin part of 6,950 euros.
