A Breakthrough in Independent Horology
BEHRENS has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with its latest creation: the 20G, a model from the brand's UltraLight collection. As the name suggests, the 20G weighs just 20 grams (head unit only), offering an unmatched wearing experience for those seeking ergonomic perfection and contemporary design. This remarkable feat is made possible thanks to BEHRENS’ all-new BM02 in-house curved manual-winding movement, fully developed and manufactured from scratch by the brand’s engineering team.
With its grade 5 titanium trapezoidal case measuring just 5.8mm thick, and a striking curved profile that hugs the wrist, the BEHRENS 20G is more than just a watch—it’s a bold statement in design and watchmaking philosophy.
Design Inspired by Ancient Chinese Culture
The 20G is not only technically advanced—it also pays homage to ancient Chinese heritage. The watch draws inspiration from the "Hu", a flat ceremonial scepter used during the Tang Dynasty to record imperial edicts. The Hu was a symbol of wisdom, power, and cultural identity across East Asia.
This historical reference is reflected in the curved, minimalistic shape of the case and the movement itself. BEHRENS has seamlessly integrated these traditional design elements with ultra-modern engineering to deliver a watch that is both artistic and innovative.
Curved Movement, Superior Engineering
At the heart of the 20G lies the BM02 curved mechanical caliber, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and offering a 38-hour power reserve. Every component of the movement is curved and assembled at precisely calculated 15° angles to ensure optimal performance and visual harmony.
The integration of the movement and the case achieves a fluid, ergonomic silhouette that not only reduces weight and thickness but also maximizes comfort on the wrist.
