Why don't we all have a Bremont?

[adg31]

Actually, if you do a little research on the Trip-Tik case construction it is not only a very clever case design, but it really does an amazing job of protecting the movement, so in no way a 'weak spot' at all. Think Richard Mille!

Leaving aside the basic point that a three piece case can’t be stronger than a two piece design since it has an extra joint to protect - along with an exhibition case back - I would have to say that incredibly, in over 40 years of watch ownership, I’ve never yet had a problem with damaging the movement within a conventional case design. So, for me, it solved a problem that didn’t exist.
Perhaps if I were to spend more time ejecting from aircraft on MB ejector seats I’d get more value - that is if I were willing to wear a watch of that price whilst trialling MB products!

We all have different tastes.

I have had 2 - enjoyed them both immensely. Bremont make some great pieces, whilst they are not to everybody's taste (which can be said for every brand) some of the stones being thrown are not warranted or necessary.

[scooby]

Ive always tried to like them
Every time I’m at an ad i look and i look but just cant get my head round a pretty average looking watch at the price point that they are pitching themselves at
Maybe a 50% discount and they would look more appalling
But hold on at the moment they offer a ltd edition print with each watch I’m surprised there website hasn’t crashed with the stampede of orders

They manage to look quite appalling already imo 😀

[TAFKARM]

I had a look at their 40mm models and bought a Tudor BB58 instead.

I think the branding is a bit cheesy and they are trying too hard with limited editions etc.

On speaking with the local dealer they said they have trouble selling them. Most people walk away with an Omega etc....

[zen123]

I like the look MBII or MBIII. If they were sized a bit smaller, say 40 or 39mm, and priced lower I'd probably own one. I really don't give a monkeys about their faux heritage or whatever. If I like it, I buy it.

If they wanted to play on ‘British Military history’ then they should have resurrected a brand that has that history.

Instead it sounds like some fake French ale made up by some snowflakes.

Have you ever been to Henley, I don’t want a watch from there and that is the best I can say.

[Dave E]

I like them, I've had two and they were both extremely well made, lovely things. I don't have any watches in that kind of price bracket anymore, and that's the only reason I don't have one.

I should say, the marketing does nothing for me, though. I met the two brothers a few years ago with some of the guys from here and I found them to be nice people. They are building a business and aiming for a particular demographic, so their marketing reflects that.

[peterdo]

Buy what you like and make sure you get a good deal along the way, then your own happiness is guaranteed, whether other people like my watches is neither here nor there IMO.

This is why I bought the S300 Black, managed to pick it up on an integrated bracelet, with a rubber strap and nato, with a leather watch roll with 35% off in an online sale. Specifically wanted this as it’s 40mm so less significant on the wrist, sits a lot lower as 13mm and still comes with the triptick case construction, which I really like. I enjoy wearing it, built like a tank so take it on holiday without worrying.

That said, I was also offered a BB58 by my AD, and despite the similarity in size and looks, I bought it as it’s a lovely watch and easy to move on if I didn’t get in with it. Sits really nice in the wrist and has a cracking bracelet at this price point.

Honestly, there isn’t a huge amount to separate the watches, the Tudor feels more refined and obviously has the bespoke in house movement for this model, clasp is much better on the Tudor but I got much more for my cash with the Bremont and a bit of character with the inscribed case back, it’s a nice touch!

A healthy debate never harmed anyone, I have lots of watches and a number of Bremont models, they are quality watches, but they are different and it’s fine not to like them but the strength of feeling is mental at times. I’m happy to see a good company trying to do great things, that should be applauded, not hounded.

Anyway a few pics for comparison, HAGW

why don't we all have a Bremont?

because as a nation, the moment someone or something from our nation does well in life we want to drag them back down or take their legs from under them. Bremont are a company that is doing very well, producing good to outstanding timepieces with a very good customer service team and extremely friendly boutique staff. I can honestly say I've never been in a boutique where I've been looked after as well as I have been in a Bremont boutique, regardless of whether I was going to buy anything or not.

I'm a long time lurker on this forum and barely post. I'm quite taken aback by some of the comments on this thread. They're either nasty, uneducated or just plainly ridiculous. You don't have to like a brand and you don't have to like the watches (in my case Rolex, which I think are the most overrated timepieces available - and it seems that some on this forum agree) but what you can do is compliment a brand for employing people in the country where you reside.

as far as the watches themselves are concerned, I agree with some that there are a lot of similar watches within the main Bremont ranges but they are still well made, extremely easy to wear and attractive (subjective of course). When it comes to the historical limited editions, I find it hard to see anything comparable from any other manufacturer in the same price ranges. The DH-88, 1918, Supersonic and Hercules watches (the most recent historical LE's) are all visually (and technically) outstanding timepieces front AND back.

I was tempted to quote a number of posters in this thread for various reasons but it would take too long. I like Tudor and Omega but honestly can't see why people think they are better than Bremont for any other reasons than subjective ones. I suppose there's time to explain, as long as those explanations are technical ones and not just pure spite.

I have to say I agree with a lot of what is said above apart from the last paragraph. I have been following this thread and I am staggered at a lot of the just plain nastiness of the replies. It smacks a little of bitterness at someone doing something well and playing the big boys game because they haven’t earn’t their dues!

I own many brands from Tudor, Rolex, Omega and Bremont and I have to say the build quality of Bremont holds it owns against this crowd. People banging on about heritage but where does that come from...time and opportunity! All companies and brands need to develop their niche and identity and they do this by marketing and positioning their brand. All the watch companies do this! Bremont has only been around a short time but they have done a lot. They have built a company from scratch, employ people in the UK, harden their cases here, manufacture movement parts and are attempting to bring watchmaking back into the UK on a more accessible level.

Yes, they made a mistake over 5 years ago with announcing a so called exclusive movement, granted with bridges and main plates made by themselves, as in house. They held their hands up and said sorry and learnt a hard lesson. However, I don’t hear people banging on about TAG doing the same thing but with a base Seiko chronograph movement for their Cal.1887 rather than a high end movement developed with La Joux-Perret in Switzerland.

We all have different likes and dislikes, I don’t particularly like a lot of marketing from Omega or Rolex but I still love a lot of their watches. At the end of the day we are watch fans and we love watches for multiple reasons and so the only really important questions we need to answer are, do I like the design, is the movement good and can I accept the price I am being asked to pay. If the answer to those questions is yes then fine and if not, also fine...move on!

I am no fanboy but I do own 2 in a collection of over 40 watches. However, there is still stuff I don’t like about the company but credit where credit is due please rather than playground snideness!

[RAJEN]

The animosity against Bremont predates the movement fiasco.
It is just being used as a convenient excuse.
If someone doesn’t like a brand, it is fine.
To make false excuses is kind of sad.
They are well made. Expensive but well made.
Anyone who says they aren’t is not being truthful.
One may not like the size or design or the price tag- that is understandable.
But people who hate/dislike Bremont for other reasons or claim to do so need to do some soul searching.

Agree, i was going to post something along the same lines earlier, the “in-house” debacle just added more flame to an already raging fire.

Those that don’t like the brand or their offerings should move on, the whole industry is smoke and mirrors afterall.

Understand where you are coming from. To answer your question re Tudor and Omega the answer is to do with in-house movements with longer power reserves and accuracy and in the case of Omega having some really cool tech in the process. I think the difference between Tudor and Bremont is more along the lines of similar quality for less money in the case of Tudor (Tudor has superior movement but case construction is a bit slab sided so horses for courses) but in the case of Omega there is a pretty obvious step up in quality and you'd look at something like the Supermarine 300 and the Seamaster 300 side by side at the same price range and I'd say the comparison isn't favourable to Bremont, styling aside. But the quality delta between a £4k Omega and a £4k Breitling is higher still so it may just be a case of Omega knocking it out of the park at that price point as certainly Bremont isn't inferior to Breitling in that range.

Another good reply!

From your first line, I can follow what you mean and agree in part as to why having an in house movement would add a little something to a watch but thinking pragmatically, Omega and Tudor are both large scale companies with a huge backing so economies of scale will inevitably mean that it's financially (as a company) easier for both to have in house movements. If either company was as small as Bremont and was forced to use bought in movements with watches at a same price point which inevitably they would be (if not higher) would they be any less well thought of?

My own opinion on this is it's simply about the watch. I grew up loving Omegas and still really do still like some of them to the point where I have considered buying one but I never thought about buying them because of the brand, simply because they're a very well made watch. I can say the same about Bremont. I was introduced to the watches quite late on in my life and I don't really care about the history of the brand (real or not). What I do care about is that they make very good watches and a significant part of they employment base is in the UK. In terms of quality, I honestly couldn't distinguish between a Tudor, Omega or Bremont at the same price point. The Bremont Alt1-C is a superbly engineered watch and if you like the aesthetics then it ticks quite a few boxes. That said, if I was to choose between a Bremont, a Tudor or an Omega, it would just be a subjective choice as they all seem to be equally well made watches.

As for Bremont...I think they would fit in well with pubs that have fake propellers etc hanging on the wall, and barmen in aprons with beards and huge earrings, serving chips in mesh baskets on pieces of slate.

Wow, yes, that is EXACTLY what their Royal Exchange shop reminds me of! I hadn't realised it, but you've nailed it.

You're entitled to an opinion. Others to there's. Neither are mutually exclusive or cancel the other out. It's great you enjoy your bretmont among the millions of pounds of other watches you have access to over many decades. We get it, you have made what is to you, an Informed and well thought out decision. Bully for you.

It's also cool that I or anyone else think bretmont are way to expensive for what they are and I do t like the look and size of them.

It's not cool, on a public discussion forum to tell people to stick their opinions up their rectum, thsts just rude, kills discussion and brings us to this place.
And it's a long way away from someone suggesting they may need some drugs to enjoy a bretmont.

Doing so will also provide you with a NASA certified watch and one which has an additional 25 years of genuine historical heritage over anything the PR and marketing guff Bremont can spin.

You’re a lovely chap, I definitely will look through your 10 years of posts as you must know more than anyone else about everything to do with watches, because you’re just fantastic.

Read your own post back, if I want heritage in a watch, which is what you were alluding to, with your reference to the Casio, then I will revert to premium mechanical watches, as I also have access to those.

Finally, thread with more than 100 replies that is not about Rolex!
Sadly some of the comments are more of a personal attack type rather than a discussion about the bremont brand...
I used to own an alt1-Zt which I got from
eBay for 2.5k and foolishly sold a bit later on. The RRP for the watch was 4.5k which some might consider steep but at 2.5k there was nothing out there that could touch it.
A hardened steel case, an interesting non-traditional design, an international rotating bezel and immense attention to detail.
In fact, people are willing to spend 4k on a standard Speedmaster, which has been the same since 1969 yet they complain about a brand that is clearly offering something new, of a higher quality, while marketing its products at a similar price point....
Marketing aside, their offerings seem to be of the highest quality and this cannot easily be disputed...

It is my one and only Bremont and I will echo all the comments regarding build quality in particular the case hardening. It shows no sign of wear at all.
Surely we buy these pieces of jewellery because we like them no matter what the name on the dial? Or at least I feel that is what we should try and do!
Perhaps if they became unavailable or in short supply everyone would want one.

It is my one and only Bremont and I will echo all the comments regarding build quality in particular the case hardening. It shows no sign of wear at all.
Surely we buy these pieces of jewellery because we like them no matter what the name on the dial? Or at least I feel that is what we should try and do!
Perhaps if they became unavailable or in short supply everyone would want one.
