Frequently asked questions

What people ask us.

The seven models, where they are made, material, warranty, prices, lead times, delivery, personalisation, payment: what you need to know before ordering.

What is the difference between the seven models?

Each takes its shape from a rotating mechanical part. The Steering Wheel (34 × 45 cm) and The Brake Disc (39.5 × 38 cm) come from motoring — a racing wheel, a brake disc. The Three-Blade (52 × 54 cm) and The Jet Engine (40.7 × 50 × 26 cm) come from aviation — a propeller, a turbine fan. The V-Twin (30.6 × 36.6 cm) and The Flat-Twin (23 × 36.7 cm) come from motorcycling and the flat engine. The Propeller (51.5 × 38.5 cm) comes from boating. Each model exists in several finishes, twenty numbered pieces per finish.

What are the Clock Machines made of?

Every piece is machined from solid aluminium, never cast. Bead-blasting, satin finishing, polishing or anodising depending on the surface: it is the contrast of finishes that draws the object. All of it happens in our workshop, the one that produces the house's watches.

Where are the Clock Machines made?

In France, at Magny-en-Vexin, north-west of Paris. The pieces are machined from solid, lacquered and assembled in the B.R.M Chronographes workshop — the very one that has been producing the house's watches since 1986. B.R.M has carried the French state's Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label since 2021.

Does the clock need any servicing?

A high-precision quartz motor, chosen so that it never asks for attention. Its battery is replaced about every three years: that is routine maintenance, not a fault.

How many pieces are there of each model?

Twenty numbered pieces per colour — not twenty per model. The number is engraved on the plate of the piece.

What is the warranty?

Ten years from delivery, excluding impact and breakage. It also does not cover normal wear, prolonged exposure to humidity, or work carried out outside the B.R.M workshop. The statutory warranties are in addition and remain due in any event.

What are the lead times?

Each model page shows a single date, “Estimated delivery”: the one for your order, with the arithmetic already done. It accounts for two things. Your piece is machined after the order — about one month in the workshop, six weeks whenever carbon is involved. And a series cannot ship before it starts: from September 2026 for Le Volant to February 2027 for Le Réacteur. The later of the two is the one we announce.

How is the clock delivered?

In a wooden crate, with transport insured by the manufacture, and delivery is free. On receipt, take the time to check the condition of the parcel and to record your reservations with the carrier if anything is wrong.

Can it be personalised?

Yes, and it is the house's craft: the colour lacquered in the workshop, an engraving in the aluminium, a logo at the centre of the dial, a numbered series for a club or a company. We produce a 3D rendering of your piece, free and without commitment.

How much does a Clock Machine cost?

From €4,100 for The Brake Disc to €8,400 for The Jet Engine. In between: The Steering Wheel from €4,200, The Propeller from €5,800, The V-Twin and The Flat-Twin at €6,950, The Three-Blade from €7,300. The price depends on the finish: all 51 finishes are priced on the Every piece page. Delivery is free until 31 December 2026, then charged at €300. Outside the European Union, prices are shown excluding tax.

How can I pay?

By card or by bank transfer. From a phone, Apple Pay and Google Pay settle in one tap straight from the basket. You can also pay a 30% deposit when ordering: the balance is requested before delivery, and your piece does not leave without it.

Can I change my mind?

A private customer has fourteen days from receipt to withdraw, without having to give reasons, the piece being returned complete and in perfect condition. A clock engraved with your name or made in a bespoke livery is the exception: it is neither taken back nor exchanged.

What are the dimensions and the weight?

Dimensions are given in the specifications of each model, in centimetres. As for weight, The Steering Wheel weighs 4 kg and The Three-Blade 8.5 kg; the weights of the five other models are provided on request, while the workshop measures them piece by piece.

I am ordering from abroad: what price, what taxes?

Prices may be viewed in US dollars, pounds sterling and Swiss francs. They are converted from the euro price, rounded up to the nearest ten, and given for guidance only: the firm amount is the one in the order summary, established from the delivery country you enter.For deliveries outside the European Union, prices are shown excluding French VAT. Customs duties, destination-country VAT and any clearance fees are not included and remain payable by the recipient on delivery.
