If you were to think of any country whose name is synonymous with fine watchmaking, then it has to be Switzerland. But interestingly, many of the most important luxury watch breakthroughs and innovations have been born on England’s shores.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Robert Hooke’s balance spring and Daniel Quare inventing the minute hand in the 17<\/span>th<\/span> century, to the various styles of escapement pioneered by Thomases Tompion and Mudge in the 18<\/span>th<\/span> century, all the way through to John Harwood developing the first workable automatic winding movement in 1926, the Brits once led the world in horology innovations.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that was a long time ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Failing to move with the times has since sent the U.K’s watchmaking industry down the same path as their car-making industry. There are now a small handful of independent manufacturers dotted around the country, including its tax haven islands offshore, producing watches in numbers that barely struggle into double figures each year, selling to die-hard enthusiasts for huge sums of money.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there is one exception. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bremont<\/span><\/h2>\n

Founded in 2002 by brothers Nick and Giles English (yes, really), Bremont is about as quintessentially British as having tea with the queen or losing at football.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bremont<\/a>
Bremont is one of the most important watch manufacturers in Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From their HQ in Oxfordshire\u2019s Henley-on-Thames (home of the Henley Royal Regatta – and things don’t get much more English than that), the company produces the sort of watches that can compete with the very best any number of Swiss giants can offer. <\/span><\/p>\n

The brothers’ father Euan was a former Royal Air Force pilot who instilled in his sons an obsession for all things aviation. When he was tragically killed in a plane crash in 1995 while practicing for an air display, in an accident that left Nick with more than 30 broken bones, the boys decided to honor their father\u2019s memory by concentrating on his other great passion; mechanical watchmaking. <\/span><\/p>\n

Positioning themselves as primarily a maker of pilot’s watches, for obvious reasons, Nick and Giles set about slowly perfecting every element of the process – so much so that the first model to leave their assembly didn\u2019t emerge for five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bremont's<\/a>
Bremont’s first watches were Pilot watches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2007, the initial collection arrived, the end result of the brothers\u2019 work with some of the best watchmaking experts in England and Switzerland. It was time well spent and, rather than simply fitting an off-the-shelf case with a new dial, as do the majority of startup watch brands, Bremont established their very own design language right from the outset. <\/span><\/p>\n

That meant scouring the country for a supplier who could craft their style of three-piece case construction while keeping the unique Bremont look; heavily inspired by aeronautical engineering, with gorgeously flowing lugs that seem to melt into the bezel and an overall aesthetic like the leading edge of an aircraft\u2019s wing.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was an arrival that struck a chord with pilots and horologists alike. The superb quality of the manufacture was evident in every line and there was enough aviation homage to appeal to even the most jaded squadron leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

There was no resting on laurels for the Brothers English however, and the pair were determined to grow the brand by creating the toughest tool watches possible. They enlisted the help of ejector seat manufacturer Martin-Baker, whose labs subjected the Bremont models to 40 years’ worth of vibration testing in three days. Those cases, known as Trip-Tick (a play on words with triptych) were hand-finished in the same factory as the turbine blades of Rolls Royce aero engines. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pretty soon, Bremont had matured from being a little-known cult favorite amongst collectors looking to stand out in a sea of GMT-Masters or Navitimers and gone on to scalp some seriously heavyweight names.<\/span><\/p>\n

The dashboards of all new Jaguar cars are furnished with Bremont clocks, as are Norton motorcycles. Hollywood luminaries such as Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom, and Ewan McGregor are big fans, along with those two epitomes of British rock godlike-ness Ronnie Wood from <\/span>The Rolling Stones<\/span><\/i> and Roger Daltry of <\/span>The Who<\/span><\/i>. They have even made a bespoke chronograph pocket watch for The Duke of Edinburgh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple awards have followed and there are now three Bremont boutiques in London and one each in New York and Hong Kong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Putting the ‘Special’ in ‘Special Edition’<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bremont produces an estimated 10,000 watches a year; a fraction of the output of the likes of Rolex or Patek, but a healthy number for a still-young company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet since the earliest days of the business, Nick and Giles have embarked on a series of projects that redefine what it means to make a limited edition watch, by including in their manufacture some incredibly rare ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The limited edition EP120 from Bremont was made with parts of a former fighter jet (Photo courtesy of Alt1tude)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It started in 2008 with the EP120, a dual time zone aviator containing parts of a 1942 Spitfire Mk V fighter. It is a similar story to the Bremont P-51, an elegant chronograph built with parts of a 1944 Mustang P-51K-10. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not unique enough? The Codebreaker has components salvaged from the British stately home Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing broke the Enigma machine\u2019s coded Nazi transmissions during the war. The Bremont Victory has a middle barrel crafted from brass nails taken from Nelson\u2019s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, and the Wright Flyer (I am not making this up), contains a scrap of muslin from the wing of the world\u2019s very first airplane. Rather than mere vanity projects, a large portion of the proceeds from the sale of these extraordinary watches goes to charitable foundations connected to their respective subjects.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The P-51 from Bremont takes inspiration from the legendary P-51 Mustang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On top of that, Bremont also manufactures a range of models solely for military use, complete with the logos of their specific squadrons. And then there is the Bremont MBI, with its special red middle barrel, only available to pilots who have safely ejected from their aircraft in a Martin-Baker ejector seat.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, What’s With the Funny Name?<\/span><\/h2>\n

It may seem strange for an enterprise so keen to display its British credentials to have such a decidedly French name. But the story of how it came about is as good a representation of the company ethos as any.<\/span><\/p>\n

A short time after the tragic death of their father, Nick and Giles were flying their 1930s German biplane across France when they were forced to make an emergency landing in a farmer’s field. Rather than taking exception to two Englishmen using his crops as a runway, the farmer in question offered the boys a bed for the night and a barn to store their rough running plane.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/a>
Nick and Giles named their watch company after Antoine Bremont, the Frenchman who gave them shelter during a storm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As it turns out, the elderly Frenchman was himself an engineer as well as having been a pilot during the war, and he also shared a passion for horology. As Giles said, <\/span>\u2018he was 78 and it was just as if our father had lived on 30 or so more years\u2019. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Nick and Giles never forgot either his hospitality or his name; Antoine Bremont.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick and Giles on Bremont’s Future<\/span><\/h2>\n

Launching a watch company into such an overcrowded marketplace is a ballsy move. Doing it with this sort of uncompromising focus on out-and-out quality is especially courageous. But the Bremont crew have gone about it in such a painstakingly methodical way that their reputation for producing exceptional products is growing all the time, and rightly so.<\/span><\/p>\n

What started out as an aviation brand has since diversified into making dive watches as well as models aimed at sailing and motor racing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bremont<\/a>
Nick and Giles have\u00a0now expanded their Bremont catalogue to include dive watches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In each, the passion of the English brothers shines through and their relatively small numbers<\/a> give them an exclusive cachet you don\u2019t get with many other brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creative, characterful and stylish, Bremont are proud to be British. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
