Absolutely no connection to this other than a friend in the military mentioned he knows a few of the guys. Has anyone else seen this at all?

Errr, ex Hereford blokes who like watches, that’s about it!! Apparently being made in Switzerland, he’s designing the Pilots watch, when I say friend I mean a guy I met in a meeting who noticed my 666 and we had a quick watch chat!Originally Posted by robert75
Website is now live….. I made a comment on their Instagram about it being blatantly obvious who they are targeting with the slogan “authenticity is everything” and then got instantly blocked!!

Who are they obviously targeting?
They’re laying it on a bit thick aren’t they?
Not for me but good luck to them.
Authentic people, duh!

I really fancied the Tactical 2 Alpha until I saw the price.
The marketing seems solely aimed at SAS wannabes
Won’t knock them for trying, but the brand name immediately makes me think of something Chinese. That makes it very hard to associate with something from Hereford, and at a high price for a start-up.
There are many, eg Elliot Brown, I’d choose over those.
But good luck to them. Feedback can only help.
Mmmm not for me.
The designs are a bit tacticool cliche.
Fair play for giving it a go.
Right.
Robert De Niro but not Sean Bean?
You've got to know what colour the boat house is.
;-)
Mitties who want a tactical watch to go with their tactical boots tactical pants and tactical messenger bag to go down the tactical Spar?
Single men who buy lots of ’tactical’ items and have extensive edged weapon collections
Not so obvious then...

Reminds me of the old joke: "Of the 37 SAS men who stormed the Iranian Embassy only 72 are still alive"
Sounds like a candle fragrance, not for me !
Spar-tans, then?
An elite unit of keyboard warriors with the call sign "Incel" and a .22 air rifle because .177 just ain't enough firepower.
Ha, yes exactly that!
Bremont, when I spoke to one of the guys his point was that they’ve ‘made up’ a story where as these guys are the real deal…..
Oooooooooooooooooh!
I have to admit, that never occurred to me at all.
P.S. Should I be asking: What colour is the Pagoda in Hereford?
Thanks. Got it now.
Are they named after a chinese take-away near the barracks?
Wow, it all looks a bit handbaggy if that genuinely is their target.
Especially as Bremont haven't made up anything about military connections or history.
I am all for veterans doing great things, but being a veteran doesn't make you a great watch designer, and it looks like they have slightly fallen into the same "PVD and stencilled numerals" cliche trap that Breitling used to trowel on so thickly.
Not for me.
D
LOL, stranger things have happened. :-)
Oh well, good luck to them. The watches aren't terrible. We're just horribly cynical here.
Word! True dat.
I wish them well. Maybe they could team up with Zulu Alpha straps?

They’re not terrible but look like luminox “Lumi-Knockoff” perhaps but 3 times as expensive?
