Flown by brave and accomplished young pilots, these magnificent aircraft engaged in fierce air battles, spearheading their nations’ air forces during the Second World War and filling history books with tales of skill and honor. Today, surviving machines fascinate aviation enthusiasts at air shows all over the world, with streamlined silhouettes and rumbling engines. A few dedicated enthusiasts have managed to preserve the excitement of these flying marvels through careful restoration and maintenance, rebuilding them to their original glory. BRM pays tribute to this technical prowesscelebrating the spirit of these beloved warbirds-by designing a new series of watches directly inspired by the most significant fighter aircraft of WWII: The Spitfire, the P-51 Mustang North American and the Mitsubishi Zero.The BRM timepieces are crafted like a fuselage, complete with inserted rivets, propellershaped hands, cases featuring roundels from different countries, horns that reference exhaust pipes and harness-inspired leather straps. With this new collection, BRM once again demonstrates its deep commitment to speed, high-performance and bold engineering.
