it's definitely apples and oranges as you've eluded to. Claiming for a late RMSD delivery is simple and quite quick. Claiming for a lost parcel on the other hand is a lot more difficult. I've done...
Polestar don't seem to be doing too well either. Seems like an unlucky choice of logo! (to be fair, Polestars logo is nothing like Bremonts new logo)
do an online search for MSO 1 for a better look.
JasH has mentioned before that this is a limited run in this colour that were all sold long before he started posting pictures. It is a lovely...
I agree. Pre-2020, buy a Swiss watch of equivalent value and you just get the watch. Buy a Bremont and you buy into an ideal of a British manufactured brand, a brand where you can visit the HQ for a...
you don't take a salary?
as a business owner you must know that you don't need to make a net profit to have an income and potentially a large one at that.
depends on how it's been arranged. Who paid for the build and how is the lease arranged? Might well be better financially for a business to lease a building rather than buy it outright. It's been...
let's have some perspective.
online retailers almost never have stock of every watch that they're showing online.
online retailers almost always have the products organised either showing the...
that was kind of my point. You can't judge any brand by the materials that they're made from. In order to compare like with like you have to see them in person, factor in the manner that they're sold...
Keep up! Bremont aren't offering hardened cases with the new models. They are using the same steel as Rolex however so by your reasoning the new Bremont watches are as good as the latest Rolex.
In fairness, I think that the new logo is only a small part of the negative reaction to the changes at Bremont.
Christopher Ward have for some time made affordable good quality watches but handle...
I've just had a look and it's simply not true. There are plenty of 'old design' Bremonts still for regular sale. There are 10 pages of Bremonts on their website and the latest models are ordered to...
Aesthetics aside, is it just me that finds a tourbillon on a tool watch something of an oddity?
if a watch case was manufactured by magic with no cost involved then we might think that watch manufacturers are taking us for fools. However, platinum is very difficult to machine where as gold is a...
I don't know if it's been mentioned but there seems to be two ceramic bezelled Supermarines showing up in pictures from W&W, one black and one green that I can't see on the Bremont website?
I'm...
to me, your comments never seem very balanced, always negative toward Bremont, past and present which by your own admission, as an ex employee made redundant, certainly gives the impression that...
Wow, that's nice - if a little pricey!
Personally I thought that the S301 used an ETA movement but why should I let the facts get in the way of a disgruntled ex employees ramblings.
In the interests of perspective or clarity, you...
that's what Mr Banks was alluding to, that he prefers the description 'automatic movement' to a Bremont reference code. You have to dig a bit deeper to find out the exact movement used.
they've used a variety of movement models and manufacturers over the years. You can find out what's inside all the watch models but it does take a little bit of research.
I wasn't meaning to reference the middle ground, more so that Bremont might be (badly) trying to divert customers away from Tudor and may be to a lesser extent Omega.
In a way I agree but I'd prefer they said 'modified Sellita xx' or 'modified ETA xx' or 'modified La Joux-Perret' etc. Saying 'automatic movement' is as vague as advertising a car with 'an internal...
the TZ audience isn't anyones target market. A minority of watch enthusiasts isn't going to keep any company afloat. Just my opinion but Bremonts target audience used to be reasonably affluent middle...
and then they take on an American surfer as an ambassador......
the 'Britishness' has to be in the engineering. British design and manufacture or at least a desire to be doing that in the future....
Fair point.
