About Bremont Watches

For those who seek more than just a watch, Bremont offers a passport to the world of exclusivity. Born from the shared dream of two brothers, Bremont watches are an ode to the brave souls who've soared through the skies and traversed uncharted territories.

Owning a Bremont means feeling the heartbeat of these heroes who dared to dream as craftsmen pour their expertise into every detail, ensuring that each timepiece stands as a testament to British precision.

Bremont History

Bremont was founded in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England. The history of Bremont is a testament to the power of dreams, the strength of family bonds, and the enduring legacy of those who dare to turn tragedy into triumph.
The story begins with two brothers, Nick and Giles English, whose family history was steeped in aviation. Their father, Dr. Euan English, was a former RAF pilot and a passionate aviator who kindled in his sons' love for the skies and an appreciation for precision timekeeping.
Tragedy struck the English family in 1995 when their father's vintage plane, a WWII-era P-40 Kittyhawk, crashed during an airshow, leading to his untimely death. Nick nearly died as well, but this profound loss became the catalyst for their quest to create exceptional timepieces that would honor their father's memory and celebrate the spirit of aviation.
Drawing inspiration from the British watchmaking heritage and the Swiss tradition of watchmaking excellence, the brothers founded Bremont Watch Company in 2002. The brand was named after a French farmer (Antoine Bremont) who rescued them following an emergency landing of their vintage aircraft in France.
Bremont's first watches were introduced in 2007, and each timepiece was a masterpiece, intricately designed and meticulously assembled by skilled artisans. One of the brand's very first watches, the EP120, commemorates a famed Spitfire Mk V that downed six German fighters on a single day in 1942.
The Bremont brand quickly gained recognition for its uncompromising commitment to quality, meticulous attention to detail, and passion for aviation history. In 2009, Bremont collaborated with Martin-Baker, the world's leading manufacturer of ejection seats, to create the MB collection designed to withstand the extreme forces experienced by ejecting pilots. Since then, the company has secured numerous military contracts, which now make up nearly 25% of its overall business.
Innovations such as Bremont's unique Trip-Tick design contributed to setting its watches apart in the world of horology and showcased the brand's commitment to excellence in both form and function. Today, Bremont stands as a symbol of British excellence in watchmaking, celebrated for its unique blend of heritage, innovation, and a profound connection to aviation. It has also received numerous awards and accolades in the watchmaking industry.
