Another mail shot today trying to flog me an MB2. Surely they’re chuckling every time they hit send. Bizarre.

Triptick cases on some new editions. Maybe things are turning around?

Pretty sure these were in place before takeover, and displaying the old propeller logo, not the compass.Originally Posted by MartynJC (UK)

There are no new releases (I.e. Watches and Wonders and subsequent) on the UK website that I can see, other than the new logo versions.
There are a number of old logo S302 trip-tick cased models shown under “new releases”, however they are not new. They were released long before the “new branding launch”.
Looks like the US site has them as “new releases” - a bit misleading to their new market from the new owners.

Seems a fairly balanced view on the rebranding
I really enjoyed that, thanks for posting. I've subscribed to his channel too. I felt it was a very balanced view and difficult to disagree with.
Yep, good story, though I think he's still a tad on the optimistic side.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but did anyone see Adrian Barker’s video of his thoughts on the new range and rebranding? It seemed suspiciously optimistic but also vague at the same time?

I think hes pretty much nailed it with his comments. I’ve had a number of Bremonts but ultimately didnt keep any simply due to preferring other watches but they appealed to me for a number of reasons which is why I bought them and most or all of which appears lost with this relaunch. Its a good point that most people wont know or care about the movement, we are enthusiasts so do but we are also very much in the minority, maybe that is their saving grace and for the employees I hope so.

I read somewhere that the English brothers are now concentrating on luxury pens but I can't fint anything online. Does anyone have any info?

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Last years models.
From that link, I was just reading Bremont’s blurb about the trip-tick case saying it separates them from other watch manufacturers who use cheaper two piece construction. Kind of embarrassing if they ditch it because it didn’t maximise profit. I really think they need to hold on to some of their past otherwise they are done as a brand.
