Great report Kong. Have spent some time with Giles and Nick
English (founders of Bremont) and we should watch the space. Giles and Nick have been involved in a number of projects. Just days after you met Giles, I was with both brothers in London at the launch of the Norton special edition watch (covered in the Goodwood Festival of Speed article).
They have true belief in bringing back more mainstream watch production into England. And for that, plus their innovation in producing watches for extreme conditions, I am remain very interested in their watches as something of a unique offering.
Thanks

Not a fan of the look....
...And they appear to be trying too hard to create links with history. A chunk of a Spitfire=aviation links? When are companies going to get away from this tired idea.(Oh and EP120 didn't knock out 7 planes in a day...) Calling your watch a Supermarine? C...
Can't fail......?
This watch brand can't fail, really. Like the other 'British Masters' watch brand, it is selling it's "English-ness" without actually usiing the 'English' brand name. It could have been 'Montres Freres English', but they decided to nick the name of an old...
You left out Viz... :-)
I know what you're getting at. And I understand their positioning...it's as valid as any, I guess. My position isn't really justifiable, it's just that the likes of the Norton and Supermarine companies stood out as real leaders in their respective fields....
I'm too old for 'Viz'.....
and the 'Bremont' brand seems to be more at home with the 'Punch'-era or at the latest -- "ThatWasTheWeekThatWas" MTF
thanks for the report Kong. i dont know where you find time to do them all
on a lighter note, i look forward to a Beano 'Dennis the menace' and Viz 'two fat slags' edition. i used to love kendal mint cake as well best Graham
Put personal preference aside, the brothers are serious in their work
Kong, thanks for the posts. Bremont is not everybody's watch but I like the idea behind the watch and the effort put in by the two brothers. Thanks Bremont and the Valiram Group for the invite. Regards Ling

My photos
Sorry for the delay! Before I proceed to my photos, let me say that I did not have high expectations for Bremont prior to the event... but I came away impressed after seeing their cleanly built watches with neat finishing and interesting concepts behind t...
Lovely pics, thanks K T...

Thanks Kong, you have a great gift of making us feel as though
we have been at the event! Nice work and congratulations to all on a great landing. Best, Tim
Nice report thank you for sharing it with us............
I have been following this brand for a few years, but never got round to check them out in the flesh, as my mind was full of the bigger & more expensive brands. But I am pleased to say, that has all changed. Perhaps those who feel that the brand is a bit ...
As one of those...
...who took issue with Bremont's naming 'conventions' what exactly am I supposed to be eating?
