Bremont

[Mr Trophy]

Anyone got the above?

I've got my eye on one of their pieces, interested to hear peoples thoughts?

I was looking at some of these at the weekend, Richard Sintons in Newcastle have up to 30% off them at the moment, eg:-

They do look very nice indeed

I have a Martin Baker III with both the rubber and leather strap's. The watch was supplied brand new, boxed and guaranteed by Dominic Hackett who has look after many PH'ers to date:

The watch is well made, feels very comfortable on the wrist and keeps excellent time. Only downside is that it does not appear to react to the watch winder I have so may have to buy another one.........never mind

Price was rather good as well

I have three of them, two being limited editions. I am very pleased with the quality and the customer service is excellent.

Got one of these: Only available if you've done time.

Looked into these after seeing Harry Hart/Colin Firth wearing one in Kingsman.

Turns out they do not fire amnesia inducing darts, but are still nice looking watches.

Not a big watch fan (rather, I couldn't afford a nice one), but I quite like these.

Have you tried reversing the direction of your winder?

Personally I have a lot of time for Bremont. They're doing a great job of cracking a tough market.

I had this off the wife for Christmas, I absolutely love it.

I've got a Solo....took a while to decide between this and an IWC Mk XVII ......but no regrets. Very accurate (+170s in 13 months!). Works well as a sports watch and dresses up well with the right strap.

They've only been going 13 years.

I have an MB II and absolutely love it. I work in aviation so love the stories/connection behind each watch and the fact they are different. Also it is so well engineered. I want another one!

Very cool indeed. I am really interested in the Kingsman, but it doesn't come with a great price tag!

No they don't, all the 'heritage' and military associations have been bought in.
Don't take their website marketing as gospel

Stories I can believe, connections? what connections?
They've done a few limited runs on commission, as any 'manufacturer' will do if you pay for it.

Oh dear.
If it's on the internet it must be true !
11/10 for marketing .
Bullst baffles brains is the appropriate term.

If Tony Blair made watches...

Phoney I think sums Bremont up best.

The in-house movement thing really did it for me, they always seemed to be spin over substance, but that really showed who and what they are.

Then with the same watch the video showing the wright brothers house they were helping to restore... only it was not the house in the video. The house they showed, the one of historic importance, is not really in need of support as it has been a museum since before WW11 and is owned & funded by the Henry Ford Foundation.

You have to hand it to AMV BBDO they do a fking good job of spinning the heritage and history message.

I've visited them at their 'factory' outside Henley. Aviation buffs, lovely people and I wish them all the fortune they can get.
