The rotor is very nice indeed!
Around £1750

Think I am going to order the grey dial. They say it's called meteorite, but I am not sure if it actually is or not.
Never heard of them. I can see you why you like it but I don't like Chrono wheels set like that, to the left. I prefer them Daytona/speedmaster towards the centre and bottom, so not my cup of tea.
Fantastic, case finish, movement detailing, COSC ticket, at under £1800! Before I looked at the price, taking everything into consideration in their blurb, my mind was telling me 3/4 grand. If I was in a position to buy another watch at the moment, I would definitely give this some serious consideration.
Saw these a while ago and was quite impressed, especially like the silver/grey dial.
Could live without the "swiss watchmaking" by the logo though, "swiss made" @ 6 o clock is enough.
Will give it some serious thought later this year.
Oooooh, that's rather nice indeed.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Interestingly I was drawn to the blue dialled one as well, Ralph.
I agree with the earlier post, these seem a lot of watch for the money and a refreshing change to watch brands that suddenly appear at vastly inflated prices for not a lot of quality...

Never come across this maker before and think they look really good. I particularly like the grey dial with the yellow accents, but the blue looks great too. Would love to see one in the flesh.
Is it just me or are the top and bottom lugs different lengths?
I like the look of those. The movements look really lovely! Frequenting this forum really isn't great for the bank balance! I'll be interested to hear a report from anyone who has one.
I quite like it too. Here's a review on it:
https://monochrome-watches.com/brell...-review-price/
Brellum also have a Facebook page.
I emailed them to see if they would offer a TZ only discount. Does not hurt so thought I would ask.
I had been looking at their Facebook page and web site for a few months now and agree that they are nice looking watches. Far too much writing on the dials however and when it came to potentially pressing the "Add to Basket" button I had a "Christopher Ward moment" and stopped myself.
I had a response from the owner of the company and he told me that he could not offer a discount, it he would throw in a free leather on deployant for TZ members. He also told me he only sells 299 watches a year so they will certainly. It be common place. If anyone is interested in getting one let me know and I can sort out the additional strap. I am going to go for the grey dial on bracelet with the spare grey and yellow strap.
They are good looking watches with some interesting finishing on parts like the rotor and crown. In today's market they seem sensibly priced considering what some brands are asking. I also like the way they don't try and hide the movement behind a made up name (in the way many larger companies do) it's a 7750, it's a good movement no need to pretend it's anything other than what it is.
So, you get a nice COSC certificate, there's only 299 units produced per year, lovely detailed movement & rotor, even the deployant is finished with perlage just like IWC, all for £1800 quid. Got to be one of the best value chronographs out there IMHO.
At face value looks like a very nice piece of work.
Very nice indeed - mesh strap option for me.
Really nice and well priced but the branding on the dial is a bit Chr.Ward. Not a complete turn off but the dial could be a bit cleaner I guess
The shape of the handset and the indices is great, reminds me of some great vintage chronographs from smaller brands like Mildia that went down in the seventies. A Finnish watch blog reviewed this watch recently and called it the best new release of 2016 out of the watches he had tried. An intriguing buy, to say the least!
This is a fantastic timepiece, worth more than its price. I'm having a difficult time sharing my wrist with my other 40 timepieces. I have the blue dial. It is hard to take my eyes off of it. Brellum is a one man show. He, Sebastian, sources his parts to his specification and assembles in house. It is refreshing to have regular contact with the maker. Don't hessitate to pull the trigger if you want a quality, beautiful timepiece.
Nice detailing and a good looking watch overall, reminds me in a way of my Sothis which is also a tuned up 7750 made by a one man outfit (plus daughter!)

They pop up on my facebook feed all the time.
Absolutely love the look of these.
They do look rather nice. 15+ mm thick though, so unless it has a curved case back (I think they'd say if it did) it'll be too thick for my wrist.

These are lovely looking. I prefer the silver as I don't like the red highlights on the blue. If the text was all sober I'd definitely be after a blue.

It’s nice, but it’s not McManus nice though

I like the look of these, and I know why - the hands and indices are exactly the same as on a Zenith El Primero.
Very tempting. Came across these in another post regarding blue dial chronograph.. any long term feedback would be welcomed..
For me the movement is important, and I do like this one, as I have a variant in my offshore professional
I really like the look of these but I know from previous experience I couldn’t live with the 7750 wobble. I think Sinn did a 103 manual wind version a few years back, it’s a shame more makers don’t get hold of this base and do the same. Lovely looking watches though.
I love the 7750 'wobble' & what a lovely mov't that has served the watch industry, reliably for many years. Don't knock it, (if) when it's gone, it will never come back.
