Bremont Watches

An appreciation of innovation and the mastery of the humble wristwatch has been a driving force behind Bremont since its foundation, however, there was an incredibly personal reason pushing Nick and Giles into the world of Haute Horlogerie.

Life changed for the brothers forever one day in March 1995 when tragedy struck the English family. Nick and father Euan, a former RAF pilot, were preparing for an air display in their 1942 WWII Howard aircraft when a tragic accident saw the plane plummet to the ground. It was as he was waiting to take off that Giles learned his father had been killed and that his brother had more than 30 broken bones and that chances of survival were slim.

Six months later and Nick defied the odds and was back in the air with Giles, however, both knew life would never been the same again. And so they decided to combine their passion for aviation and engineering to create remarkable luxury watches in the UK. When it came to choosing the name of their now iconic watch brand, they took inspiration from the name of a French farmer, Antoine Bremont, who showed them hospitality when they had to make an emergency landing in France in the late 1990’s.
