Bremont, the brand
“Our whole remit was to create a classic looking aviation timepiece that was highly versatile and eminently usable, something that was as at home in the boardroom as it was up Mount Everest.” - Giles English
British engineering
Bremont creates British engineered, chronometer-tested mechanical watches that are as precise and durable as they are stylish. Seeing a gap in the market for a watch that was the middle ground between a dress watch and a sports watch, brothers Nick and Giles English founded Bremont in 2002 to manufacture aviation watches of the highest quality here in Britain. Their sought after designs not only ooze the timeless sophistication that British brands do so effortlessly, but are highly durable with cases that are, on average, seven times harder and more scratch-resistant than those of competitors. With a legion of fans that ranges from serious adventurers to world record breakers, Hollywood stars and even royals, it’s easy to see why Bremont has taken the watch market by storm.
Award-winning British manufacturing
“If in just one sentence if I had to describe what Bremont stands for, it would be reinvigorating watchmaking and precision engineering on British shores.” Nick English
The Bremont way
Inspired by conversations about Britain’s rich history in horology with their late father, former RAF pilot and Aeronautical Engineer, Dr Euan English, Nick and Giles were determined to restore the long-lost art of watchmaking on British soil. However, they knew that if they wanted to manufacture watches in Britain that rivalled the quality of the leading Swiss brands, Bremont had to be about quality and not quantity. That’s why to this day all Bremont watches are exquisitely designed and meticulously hand-built in small numbers. Combining that classic, timeless style of a pilot’s watch with technical innovation and an almost obsessive attention to detail, Bremont’s commitment to quality was evident right from the beginning. Before ever releasing a product, Bremont spent five years in research and development, receiving expert tutelage from leading engineers in Britain and Switzerland, sourcing exceptional British talent with transferable skills and working tirelessly to develop high-end and incredibly robust components that were tested beyond the usual call of duty. At its heart, Bremont will always be a hardcore engineering company and the English brothers and their incredible team of engineers continue to push the boundaries of what is possible. Giles explains “We will never think ‘ok, we’ve done it’. Every year we push the boundaries a little further in terms of innovation, whether it be casing components in vibration mounts, designing a new steel that is tougher, or doing crystal hardening so when you knock them it doesn’t leave a mark, it’s that attention to detail that has become a very important part of our DNA.” In other words, Bremont’s work is innovation in its purest form.
Tested beyond endurance
“We set out to make watches that are just as at home in the boardroom as they are on an explorer’s wrist at the South Pole, up Everest, or in the depths of the oceans. That adventure element is in Bremont’s DNA.” – Giles English Not just a strapline, ‘tested beyond endurance’ epitomises the Bremont mentality. Not only are all Bremont products subjected to rigorous lab testing, including extreme temperature, vibration and altitude testing, but designs like the Martin-Baker are also put through live ejection testing to test the watch under extreme G-forces. Never ones to do anything by half, Bremont’s products are also tested in some of the harshest conditions on earth by their brand ambassadors.
Bremont ambassadors include the likes of Ross Edgley who was the first person to swim around Great Britain, as well as multiple world record breaker Nims, big wave surfer Mark Healey, adventurer Aldo Kane and England Rugby ace Tom Curry.
The Bremont Chronometer Collections
All Bremont watches in the core collection are chronometer tested, then subjected to further rigorous testing and quality control procedures.
