I do not lead a life where anything pristine white would remain that colour for more than 30 minutes.
It may look great, but it simply wouldn't work for me

I knew Phil Toledano quite well, we went to school together, same year.
He has a real thing for the rarer releases from PP, Rolex and others from back in the 80s when they allowed themselves to...

Those are Tamworth crosses (not sure with what). Pure Tamworths have a short bristle coat, not a long one like that, and they are massive. Mangalitsas maybe???

A Porsche went pas the other day with the plate ETH1C, probably belongs to a lawyer????

Sorry, no, I am not talking about the spiral tachy. The external bezel is a simple fixed 0-60 scale. Nothing to do with cycling. And a poor detail, imho

Relevant Catalogues?

Loved that, right up to the point where I saw one of my pet peeve details, a 0-60 fixed bezel.
WTF? It's in the Pelagos range, put a proper rotating bezel on that. And it would be near perfect.

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....
