Bremont Watches
Discussion
They are a new brand, set up by a couple of brothers iirc. They have a sort of flying theme to them, mainly chronographs. They use ETA movements, 7750s in the chronos.
I've seen a couple of reports from owners, they seem generally impressed with the build quality.
However, they look extremely expensive to me. I wouldn't buy one. I think there is better value for money for that sort of thing elsewhere like IWC (at Bremont prices) or Sinn (at much less).

Tried on a couple of them, as one of their dealers is local to me.
Lovely watches- just bloody massive.
Not for my skinny wrists- looked like a wagon wheel on it.
I think it was the aviator model that I liked IIRC... there was a feature on the brand last year in the american express platinum magazine I get sent

Can you get an IWC for £2500 then?
Loads, here's an example after a quick search (I know nothing about these people): http://www.davidmrobinson.co.uk/fine-watches/iwc-w...

Depends if you want a chronograph. Mine was £2,800 at Brent Cross but there was one on Ebay last week that sold for about £2,000 virtually unused. Here's mine I bought in October.
I am over the moon with it and find particularly that, unlike my Breitlings, it isn't "in your face".
Just had a look at some Bremonts in Selfridges - I'm pretty sure one will be my next watch. The level of detail in the dial and case is very good and the watch feels every bit as special as sports watches at a similar price point.
The dial has an internal bezel which gives a 3d effect and makes the watch face appear to be sunken in and very 'sturdy'. The case is made from two different types of steel (I assume) sandwiched together which makes it look very special. The level of detail really was very high.
Very impressed!

I had been looking at getting a Bell & Ross and through working close to Canary Wharf called into Fish Brothers to try one on. They stock Bremont and to be honest I thought they looked like a great watch! I can't decide what to do.I know that both watched are so different, but I can't make my mind up. The Bremont is a cracking watch in the flesh.

I love that watch but hate that metal strap. It just looks way too intricate and detracts from the watch (in my often dubious opinion )
Same watch with leather strap is a great buy at £2400.
yes. I'd like sometimes to wear a weather strap but I have an acid skin that, in summer, destroys a strap in 3 months, hence the bracelet. Over the years I have become resigned to wearing them although I still have a dress watch with a leather strap.Same watch with leather strap is a great buy at £2400.
