Besides the fact that those are spectacular pictures 8) , that is one of the most unusual watches I have ever seen. Looks like it is a piece of art and belongs in a museum. I love the see through display, and colored hands. Exactly how big is it (diameter and thickness)?

Anyways, thanks for sharing!!

That's a great watch - not only a nice skeleton, but it looks really good in motion - nice pick up.

That is my favorite BRM watch. I really like it. The way the movement is suspended in the case the littel carbon fiber tabs is cool. I actually posted a picture of this watch several months ago!

I do, however, think they can get a little pricey for a non-swiss watch.

Verr nice.

BRM are incredible timepeices, but my favorite BRM is the Bi-Rotor. If I could have one of those I would be ecstatic, not to mention filthy rich. Enjoy the functional art! :)

BRM make some fantastically weird pieces! The great thing about this one is that it really drags the skeleton watch kicking and screaming into the 21st century! Too many skeletons are the preserve of old men's watches, but this looks great.

The only thing I've personally never quite got to grips with on BRM are the hands and the font they use to write BRM(!), but those are pretty minor points on what is a fabulous piece of functional art. I love it!

Now that's what I call a conversation piece!

Bit too rad for my personal taste but I do like the BRMs such as the V12.
