Sir Terence Conran
“Terence Conran was instrumental in the re-designing of post-War Britain and his legacy is huge. He is revered by generations of designers from Mary Quant and David Mellor to Thomas Heatherwick and Jony Ive. He changed the way we lived and shopped and ate. He also created a great institution – the Design Museum.”
Tim Marlow, Director & Chief Executive, Design Museum
“The hallmark of good design is simplicity, beauty, functionality and surprise”

Sir Terence would ensure that the design of the Triple-Four Racing Chronograph referenced the Brooklands track banking which allowed such high speeds. The face of the Triple-Four is unusual in that it is designed as one piece, with the outer edge similar to a banked track.

The Napier-Railton aero-engined racing car
During his visit to Brooklands Museum, Sir Terence was particularly taken by the Napier-Railton. This huge car was purpose built to win races and set records at Brooklands and beyond and has a highly polished all-aluminium body. The key to its success was the legendary 24 litre Napier Lion aircraft engine. Producing 595bhp, the derated mark XIA was selected to be incredibly reliable and run on standard pump fuel.
