Bremont Watch Company is a luxury, aviation themed British watchmaker based in England. More recently they have begun to move production from Switzerland to Henley-on-Thames.[1]
History
Brothers Nick and Giles English founded Bremont. The brothers inherited some practical mechanical experience from their father Dr Euan English, ranging from clock assembly to aeroplane and yacht construction. The death of their father on 4 March 1995 during training for an air show in their WWII Harvard spurred the brothers to sell watches.
