The B.R.M. Birotor Caps Things Off
Up until recently, I had not heard of the independent watch brand B.R.M. and their line up of racing-inspired watches - but I'm glad I stumbled across them. The model we'll focus on today is another entry into the trend of what I consider to be an industrial style.Of course, you could quite easily argue that it's simply the automotive racing nature of things informing the style, and it's not something I'd put up a fight about. That said, I've been noticing (especially on the higher end models) that when you get to an open-worked watch, such as this one with plenty of open space, the case takes on a more industrial feel, as if to mimic the machinery in the movement.This 40 x 48mm titanium case is no exception to that rule, with what are (I believe) functional hex head fasteners at the lugs, allowing for three positions of adjustment.

It’s a pretty rare bird, but for our money what really takes it to the next level is that it’s a fantastic example of how utilitarian design can, when pushed far enough, transcend itself and produce something really exciting aesthetically, which is fundamentally what the appeal of Panerai is all about. 1 OF 4 Before getting into aesthetics, just from the standpoint of objective rarity and historical importance, it’s a pretty remarkable piece and would probably attract a great deal of attention. The story goes that in the early '80’s, Panerai’s chief of mechanical engineering, the famous Mr. Alessandro B

Newbie Looking for Direction!!!
Hello All!I'm new to the watch game. I got the bug a few months ago and look forward to obtaining pieces like I've see here, during web searches and on other forums.I'm NOT looking for pieces that are going to "maintain" or "gain" value unless I happen to like and can afford to buy one. I want pieces that I will wear and that will last a number of years with proper care and maintainence, I want a watch that will be pretty accurate.My current Collection consists of:Invicta SAN III Predator 1194Invicta Grand Lupah 0068Breil Orchestra TW1022Two (2) Kenneth Cole watches (received as gifts)I will post pics as soon as I can (figure it out)!!I like the oversized watch for casual/sport situations (thus the Invictas; plus they seem to be a good value for the $), but with a 7 inch wrist I can't see myself going much bigger than the 50mm Invicta 1194. But we'll see! I'm somewhat mechanical and thus drawn to an automatic/mechanical movements. I will buy a quartz if I really like the design, but wi
