Behrens
The story of Behrens started back in 2012 when the brand was 1st registered by “Mr. Lin Bingqiang” as an independent watch brand in the market. During the past years of development, the brand has been focusing on designing and developing mechanical modules to achieve new ways for time display. That is to produce wristwatches that do not just tell time but also through our unique designs to add a touch of uniqueness to these watches for watch lovers to enjoy. The brand’s major trait is the capability of developing and producing most of the parts in-house by our engineering and production team, alongside more than 20 in-house CNC machineries and 3D printing technology adoption.
In 2018, we started launching our satellite time display collections (Astronomer & Space Traveler), then continued with modules’ development, and launched 2 new collections, coded ‘Apolar’ and ‘Rotary’ back in 2020. With ‘Apolar’ collection newly developed with a unique and all-new designed mechanism called the ‘Moon Track’ which allows the orbit of the Moon to be shown and displayed in relation to the globe which acts as a Day/Night indication on the dial. Whereas for Rotary collection which was based on the Rotary automotive engine that was used on the 787B Le Man’s race winner in early 90s. This collection was inspired by the motion of this engine as concept and turned the twin rotaries into time display for hours and minutes. One of the milestones was these 2 concept watches managed to become annual GPHG 2020 nominees.
Behrens didn’t just stop there but continued with our further development of unique timepieces. In 2021, we have for the 1st time in the watch market, launched a special limited-edition timepiece, ‘Mars Project One’ to tribute the human’s exploration journey to Mars. This timepiece features for the 1st time a double twin rollers time display function to display the time on Earth and Mars. This collection has brought us to the next level of watchmaking, allowing us to be more well-known in the watch market for what we can do.
In 2022, we have continued with upgrading our skills and designs by the launching of a few new models which includes the PERIGEE, an all-new collection featuring our 1st in-house manual wind movement, a power source to the unique time display via a rubies chain system and an accurate Moon Track system (2nd generation).
Also in 2022, a new chapter to the brand is the cooperation between Behrens and Chinarocket, a commercial space rocket design corporation to design and build our 1st space wristwatch which was successfully sent to space on 9th December 2022 (14:35).
In 2023, we have once again had a breakthrough with our design and development. The launch of our new collection, “UltraLight Weight” which is a completely newly designed wristwatch featuring their latest in-house movement, Cal.BM02, a manual wind wristwatch with a weight of less than 20 grams.
With current positioning and development, at Behrens, more has yet to come. Stay tuned for future developments.
