Bremont watches

Bremont watches Giles and Nick English are the brothers behind UK watch brand Bremont. Both aviation enthusiasts, the co-founders launched the firm in 2002 and named it after a French farmer whose fields they once accidentally landed in during a foggy cross-Channel flight. Giles and Nick are passionate proponents of British engineering and craftsmanship, and have set out to make as many of their watch components as possible in their factory in Henley-on-Thames. Over the past 16 years, they’ve built Bremont into a respected and successful name in an industry still dominated by strong Swiss brands. Giles gives us the brothers’ story.
