Behrens x Memorigin present The Dark Knight limited-edition watch

Marking 85 years of the iconic hero, the new Batman themed free-sprung tourbillon watch in titanium, showcases a number of Behrens-patented technologies. Visible both front and back, the fully skeletonised, hand-wound movement features the character’s visual elements throughout.

T

he Dark Knight watch is a special limited edition created by Behrens, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Memorigin to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the birth of “Batman”.

The watch is powered by Behrens’ new calibre BM05, a mechanical, manually wound movement that incorporates a wealth of Batman elements. The free-sprung tourbillon at 6 o’clock on the dial is open worked with the Batman logo, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and uniqueness of the tourbillon structure. Below the tourbillon is the date display, with the number “27” in the date aperture in special colours to commemorate the debut appearance of Batman in “Detective Comics” Issue #27.

The day/night display at 9 o’clock shows the initials “BW” for “Bruce Wayne” (Batman) and the “Batman” logo, a design that is both practical and personalised; The power reserve display at 2 o’clock provides an easy way to check the watch’s energy supply, while the clasp of the watch features the Batman logo and the case is inspired by the searchlights in the Batman films.

The watch is fully skeletonised, with most of the movement components concentrated in the upper part of the watch, and a fully transparent caseback, allowing a complete view of mechanical workings of the watch. The watch is equipped with a number of new Behrens patented technologies. Among them, the “Free-sprung tourbillon” significantly improves the comprehensive performance of the tourbillon mechanism; the new “bi-directional date adjustment system” makes it easier to adjust the date without the limitations of traditional date adjustment of mechanical watches; and the strap features an upgraded “quick release” mechanism, which makes the internal pushers slide more smoothly and easily when removing the watch.

Release of this watch once again reflects Behrens’ passion for high-end watchmaking, and once again demonstrates Behrens’ insistence on original concepts and boundless imagination of mechanical art.
