Description

A gift from son to father, for use at the races

Born in 1931, Sir Terence Conran remembered his father going to the races at Brooklands, as well as his mother learning to fly at the Flying Club. Nearly 80 years later, he relished the opportunity to design a watch with his father in mind.

During a visit to Brooklands, Sir Terence was particularly taken with the Napier-Railton, a car designed and built at Brooklands for John Cobb and fitted with a Napier Lion Triple-Four aero engine. The Napier-Railton holds the all-time Brooklands lap record, set in 1935.

Limited to 500 pieces, each individually numbered, the watch's exhibition back reveals a rotor design representing the master rod and two articulated conrods of this legendary aircraft engine.

Chronograph Hands

Heritage design feature

The second hand and the sub-dial hands share a circular counterweight design, which was a feature of the Brooklands Chronograph Villa trackside clock.

Bespoke Rotor

A reference to a legendary engine

The Model 1 Triple-Four exhibition back reveals a bespoke rotor. The rotor is signed by Sir Terence and represents the master rod and two articulated conrod configuration of the Napier Lion engine.

Presentation Box

In the style of a leather motoring case

The presentation box is covered with faux vegetable-tanned brown leather. The two box straps reference the leather bonnet straps seen on cars racing at Brooklands.

A warranty card and member's badge are included in the box, which is lined with Conran Blue material.

What's Inside The Box?

Model 1 Triple-Four Badge

The Model 1 badge is of a very similar design to the original 1935 Brooklands Badge. This was the year the Napier-Railton broke the all-time lap record. Each badge is stamped with the watch serial number and allows the owner certain privileges. The badge is manufactured by W.O. Lewis, Birmingham, the company that has manufactured all badges for Brooklands since 1907.

Model 1 Triple-Four Limited Edition

A stainless steel 12-hour racing chronograph watch designed by Sir Terence Conran, the Triple-Four is not too big at 43mm and not too heavy at 114g. The sculpted 20mm leather strap is finished in Conran Blue. The case is mainly brushed finish with the polished bezel maintaining a visual balance between a dress and a sports watch. The exhibition back reveals the highly finished mechanism and bespoke rotor.

Model 1 Triple-Four warranty card

The Model 1 warranty card is made of brass and marked with the watch serial number. There is a web link and QR code on the back to register the warranty. The design references the brass bed and paper tape strip of the 1907 Motor Race Chronograph used for official speed records at Brooklands.
