Thanks Captain.
I really like the Martin Baker models and they were saying that the black dial, orange mid-section is the most popular configuration. I might well be tempted if they can get their in-house movement into that model.
Yes, Bremont seem to have been given a hard time by the watch community (and perhaps some of the comments about historic issues are deserved) but I come back to fact that they are 20 years old in a country which has lost the ability to mass produce watches. There were/are bound to be hiccups along the way, but they are passionate about improving and developing the watches and their business and they now seem to have the money and people in place to do that.
All the best,
Jon
Tour of Bremont’s Manufacturing and Technology Centre - “the Wing”
I always love the posts about tours of the watch factories but being in the UK the opportunities for visiting watch factories are limited. However, Bremont run twice daily tours around their factory, “the Wing”, in Henley-on-Thames, about an hour from Lon...
Very interesting,thanks!
The new models with the in-house movement are attractive and look very promising. Unfortunately no Bremont AD in my country or nearby......
That is sad, while in my country an AD do Bremont
and i do not go to visit that AD. When i go to that AD, i guess i buy a Ulysse Nardin for instance, or a Bulgari. It’s far, and there are AD’s nearby of me that offer more my thing, Omega.
Thanks for the insider shots Jon! I didn't know one could visit them.
A visit is very tempting as I still struggle to understand or make my opinion on Bremont. I saw them a lot at airshows but that's PR, a factory is much more interesting! Indeed, from nothing to that factory in 20 years is a feat! Did you actually manage t...
You're welcome.
Yes, you can book a tour via the website. I agree that factories are interesting, watch factories in particular! Yes, we had a complete tour. We went into the machining area filled with CNC machines but we were asked not to take pictures. We also saw the ...
No worries.
If you mean what watch did I wear, I wore a JLC Amvox 7. I thought I should wear something uncommon and interesting! If you were asking about dress code, it’s all very relaxed. We were using the tour as a work/client event for some clients who like watche...
Bremont ….
For many in the racing community and British military it’s gained great respect. The watches deserve a greater appreciation amongst our community. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Best regards Captain ...

I saw that and meant to ask what it was.
It looks like an artistic watch stand but does it have any higher purpose, like being a winder?
