We chat with the co founder of Bremont, Giles English about the watch making industry and the story of the Bremont brand. Giles and his brother Nick started Bremont with the goal of bringing watch making back to the UK. Watch making and the watch industry as a whole involves highly intricate engineering, bespoke design and experimental marketing. Trusted by the worlds military's to build watches that are capable of withstanding the extreme environments they operate in, as well as partnering with the likes of Jaguar, British Airways and England Rugby, it is safe to say Bremont is establishing itself as a quintessentially British brand with a focus on expertly designed and highly engineered time pieces that will be passed down for generations. If you have the patience, dexterity, a mind for puzzles and a keen eye for detail then watch making may be for you. A pleasure to chat with Giles who is clearly very passionate about bringing watch making back to the UK and training the next generation of expert watch makers.
