My fairly basic watch photography efforts mostly fall into the map cliche, but the maps I use are personal to me, because they are a dust sheet made of cloth maps of the Sudan, maps which my...

Yes. Totally mad. Not sure MrB has that 100% right. I can't see why the bezel and lugs on my Alt1 would be hardened (as well as the barrel), and nothing of the front half of the case on SM500.
I know you worked there, but.....
The hardening process is not the DLC process. The hardening can happen without the colouring.
The top bezel of my Alt1_P is definitely hardened, it is way tougher...
I am not sure this is very consistent.
You argue that they have devalued the one thing they have, their brand.
But then argue that the brand was built on dodgy foundations.
Which would seem to...
One word of warning (as a long time owner of one Bremont, and a very short term owner of another).
Bremont seem to do nothing to harden their titanium cases.
As a result (especially by comparison...
I spent a good 40 minutes gawping at the Tipo 33 Stradale when I was at the FoS in 2010 (as a guest of Bremont).
For me it is the perfect blend of beauty, aggression, style and function I have ever...
Haven't looked today, but sale prices are so prevalent that a few days ago, WF had several models (used) for sale at higher than the new ones were from ADs............
They have certainly found...
I was interested in the differences, so here is a rough idea of what I saw in comparison

I cut one of the Black Bay (BB) images from...
I've been waiting for a black buckle to come back in stock for ages, looks like the Mk 3 in black will be soon (May according to the site)
I always thought it the other way round.
I was amazed how much hate Bremont got here on TZ.
Especially, given that it this is a UK forum and Bremont was (until recently) a UK company hoping to make...
Oh, that's a bit depressing.
So all parts manufacturing is being farmed out?
There is something about this new smaller model that jars for me in terms of proportions.
Maybe the indices are too large and away from the dial edge, or the gap between the outer second scale and...
Having bought one of the first of his quartz ones (and worn it a lot ever since, I still have it) I am really keen to see Paolo succeed with this.
He has made so many improvements, many based on the...
Please do not let Brendan loose on that Tudor dial.
Much as I like some of the others (ie Lemania and Cyma WWWs and the Smiths Deluxe) that Sub is the pick of the bunch, and a worthy watch to keep...
Gary left a while ago, I believe. I hope so, at least.
I think they were held over the proverbial barrel.
I have no doubt that their commitment to it all was total, but that their expansion plans required too much financing for them to retain control,...
No. Orfina, Eterna, IWC. Sinn did a few Audi watches, but not many
Hardly anyone has said they will definitely do badly. Their saturation marketing might well see them do well.
And they have been saturating all of the (admittedly few) Social Media that I use....
You know Watchfinder has one (used) at £1750??
At that set of prices, I would be buying the originals by Orfina, or (much) later on, Eterna.
As a general point I really cannot see the point of having a re-issue version of something that costs...
One should ague that the insane bit is not the last 4 years of correction, but the preceeding 4, which saw the ludicrous and unsustainable rise, doubling the price and more.
So that is at least 8...
Well, Ackman insisted he invested personally, and on a long term basis, having privately bought some of their watches in the Mayfair Store.
It strikes me as more likely that Hellcat LP, the other...
Hmm, that is a bit of a gamble.
Especially given that the Batman (the subject of the above video) seems to have lost (according to Chrono24s graphs, which are calculated on the same basis over...
The thing is that it is clearly a move downmarket, even if the prices are broadly the same.
Bremont used to be accused of being relatively poor value.
Given the recent launches' total lack of...
Nice, I like that a lot. There aren't enough Squales without date, the removal of the date makes the dial so much more appealing. Touch of Aquastar with the quarter indices?
