A tribute to a legend, and a legendary moment in motorsport history.

The Mountain Decides. The unofficial tagline for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb makes clear that nothing is guaranteed and everything’s on the line in this legendary race to the summit at 14,115 feet. Over the course of 12.42 miles and 156 turns, there is little runoff and no room for error. Then there’s the weather: Drivers can and do experience all four seasons—from blinding sun to thick fog, thunderstorms, black ice, sleet, and snow.

Unpredictability is part of what makes the annual Race to the Clouds special. There are no do-overs, no chances to practice the full course—just one shot at glory, one run—which makes winning here that much more significant. David Donner had done exactly that on multiple occasions, most recently piloting the #000 911 Turbo S with street tires and a license plate to take an Exhibition Class win and second overall—beating every race car on the mountain but one. A few months later, Donner returned to Pikes Peak to do something no human had, taking a production street car to the summit in less than 10 minutes.

To mark Donner’s unprecedented feat, 000 Magazine and Pikes Peak International Hill Climb sponsor B.R.M Chronographes created a timepiece for connoisseurs of the uncommon. The resulting 000 Edition 9:53 marks Donner’s race win and subsequent PPIHC Certified Course Time with two firsts of its own—being the first all-black B.R.M and the first with a three-dimensional dial.

Each is individually numbered and carries Donner’s signature as well as his PPIHC Certified Course Time of 9:53. B.R.M’s premium presentation case, a “blackout” Swiss Kubik desktop winder numbered to match each watch, a certificate of authenticity, and relevant materials are included.
