That was a great project, I have a lot of good memories about that period of Bremont.
Most Bremont fans are much more dedicated owners than the average CW, Tag, Rolex owner because they have been sold the idea of watchmaking and manufacturing being brought back to the UK and they want...

You just answered your own question!
It's not an asset, it's leased.
The Bicester outlet has them.
I highly doubt they are going to listen to an obnoxious opinionated goof whose credentials are being a Youtube gobshite and mid tier watch reseller.
They bought Yard O Led.
I doubt they're 3D printed models, most likely prototypes, but either way I like the look of them and am a big fan of ceramic cased watches.
Saw this picture on a FB group. They look quite good to me:

I wasn't made redundant!? Where did you get that from? It was a great business when I first joined (otherwise I wouldn't have joined), with the focus on doing more in the UK, but the shareholder...
Your thoughts betray you, padawan.
Never disgruntled, I enjoyed my time there and it gave me a leg up into the industry.
Aside from completely reinventing the brand, I like the look of the new releases. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the supermarine bezel insert (is it aluminium?) and the raised SLN indices, which...
Unfortunately as it was my job, I can tell you every single movement used in every single Bremont model, as can a few others on here.
I prefer that it says automatic movement rather than a random made up number like BR04-XZ/1. They have used Sellita for years, particularly the SW300 in S300 series so I presume the new models are no...
They haven't had any meaningful control for years except with PR and watch design. Now that has been completely removed from them and the shareholders want to start making money.
I'm more interested to see the rumoured terra nova tourbillon dual time.
I absolutely love this piece. Almost as much as the books and the films. It's out of my price range at the moment but maybe if a sale code pops up I'd be tempted.
I wouldn't be fair to Goldsmiths Reading. They are staffed by absolute muppets who try to extract money from you in jewellery for a mythical place on the list. Even after I bought several watches...
Putting bits of old planes in watches? No, they have that covered....extensively.
They also did a limited edition Battle of Britain set:

They also make very little profit from the military business because the margins are much lower and they have to pay more for special printing and in some cases tooling, for very small batches of...
Just looked at it in more detail via the Fratello link. The crown guard is awful and really cheapens the whole aesthetic.
~£7k seems like a bargain.
Sounds great to me. The company was dead in the water and Ackman/Cerrato can hopefully save it and take it beyond needing the founders presence. They've done their part, now they can hand over and...
