By Amanda Evans | 5 minute read
Co-founded in 2002 by brothers, Nick & Giles English, Bremont has established a reputation for its expertly engineered, luxury, aviation, and military inspired chronometers. In just a short period of time, Bremont has become widely recognised within the luxury watch market, remaining true to its principles of Patriotism, Aviation, Engineering and Adventure. Embracing their British heritage and passion for aviation.
Bremont founders began their journey with beautifully crafted pilot’s watches, fit for purpose, and of exceptional quality, inspired by a love of historic aircraft and mechanical excellence. With timepieces that are tested beyond the call of duty, Bremont’s reputation has seen the brand become official partners with the Ministry of Defence, commissioned by the military for special order projects, and collaborating with luxury car manufacturers amongst others. This award-winning British watchmaker has expanded beyond its core collection of pilot, diving and motorsports inspired pieces to include a substantial Limited-edition range that reflects the core defining pillars of Bremont – British Engineering, Aviation & Military and Adventure.
Jaguar Collection
The partnership between Bremont and Jaguar first began back in 2010 during the launch of the cutting-edge Jaguar C-X75. To complement the futuristic nature and high performance of this superb car, Bremont developed a unique analogue dashboard clock. Subsequently the relationship blossomed and Bremont continued to design beautifully crafted timepieces of mechanical excellence that drew inspiration from the iconic automotive brand, and reflected the strength and longevity that both brands expressed so quintessentially. The Jaguar range echoes the golden era of 1960’s motorsports, with the Jaguar heritage logo featuring on the dial and hour markings stylised typically like the numbers featured on E-Type instruments.

Hawking Limited Edition Collection
The Hawking collection of Limited-edition timepieces is dedicated to the renowned British scientist, Stephen Hawking. Hawking was fascinated with time and his studies have enriched our understanding of the universe and beyond. Working alongside the Hawking family, Bremont is proud to honour such an important figure within our history and to commemorate his impact on our understanding of space, matter and time, the Hawking collection was created to celebrate this highly respected British legend.
Professor Stephen Hawking was arguably one of the most pre-eminent scientists of the last hundred years. We wanted to celebrate this incredible man’s life and his fascinating relationship with time.Nick English, Bremont Co-Founder
This beautiful collection of classically designed chronometers features a retrograde seconds hand and grand date. Perhaps one of the most unique and fascinating elements of design can be viewed on the caseback which contains 4 wooden discs, taken from the very desk that Hawking sat at whilst contemplating the mystery of the universe. In addition, the chronometer also contains some meteorite at the centre of the closed caseback and an etching of stars representative of the night sky on the day of Hawking’s birth. Housing the BE-33AE movement and with a 42-hour power reserve, the limited-edition collection is available in stainless steel with a black dial, rose gold with a black dial and white gold with a blue dial. A women’s edition with diamond-set bezel has also been added to this exquisite collection, the first time that Bremont has ever used diamonds in any of its collections.
