Taking pride in precise timekeeping

Since its launch mid-2007, Bremont has been taking the world of horology by storm. The brainchild of brothers Nicholas and Giles English, the brand has become recognized for combining superior mechanics, functionality and sleek design.

The brothers’ interest in all things mechanical began as children, when they regularly accompanied their father Euan to his workshop and whiled away the hours experimenting with cogs and wheels. Their father was also and award-winning RAF display pilot, so the boys a fascination with historic aircrafts was initiated at a very young age.

Tragically, Euan was fatally wounded in a flying accident which led Nicholas and Giles to reassess their lives. As stockbrokers, they remained faithful to wearing their father’s timepieces, so set about launching their own watch brand. A chance meeting with a French WWII pilot who shared their passion for timekeeping led to the name Bremont.

Worn by aviators and explorers, Bremont’s collection of precision timepieces at CoutureLab are intricately made to the highest standard, flawlessly designed and intended to be passed on through the generations.
