    Fantastic to see an all British company not outsourcing to cheap labour around the world , We need company's like Bremont bringing the skills back to the UK. Amazing video. Well done!

      Hah, their new CEO just undid all of this. Sellita movements and foreign outsourced cases, dials, and hands. 😂

    Congratulations on your new facility. It is great that you make your British watches in Britain.

    Bremont's vision as a company is very inspiring. It certainly is the way to go build everything in-house. I certainly admire the traditions of the British clockmakers, John Harrison, John Arnold, Thomas Mudge and Thomas Tompion. Maybe some ideas for the future? I love the themed specials and the associations with British innovations. I certainly will be keeping an eye on them.

    I recently did the Bremont tour with friends from the Watch Forum, it is excellent, plenty of time with very knowledgeable guides. The Bremont factory is impressive and I really liked some of their new watches. If I was going to buy an expensive watch now, it would be a Bremont, good luck to them 👍

    Really enjoyed this video. Thank you. I have a new found appreciation for Bremont. I have been rather neutral about them. While I am still not a massive fan of their designs, the story and the journey is a fascinating one. I will definitely book one of their tours.

    Looks like the gamble didn't pay off . .. New branding and ownership shows a new direction with no more in house movements being produced at Bremont's The Wing. Such a shame

    Great video and chat. I visited The Wing in Henley - lovely people and place. It’s great to see the manufacturing and the people behind it all. Nick and Giles are very approachable and that permeates throughout the company. Highly recommend a visit to The Wing - Henley is gorgeous too.

    I was driving through Henley On Thames and I passed a sign that said ‘Bremont Manufacturing & Technology Centre’. It only dawned on me this was Bremont Watches

    Really great video, Brermont is definitely on my radar now, I feel they need to invest a lot more in marketing, people are not talking about the brand, it's kind of unknown outside the small niche groups it's really strange. Need to engage and embrace the online community perhaps.

    I love my Bremont, and the story behind the company. But I am worried about the new CEO. Switching a unique logo to a generic bit of clipart is a mistake, and I worry that the masculine, military heritage of the brand is now represented by a bespeckled, effeminate man. I'm sure he is a clever man, but brand image matters.

      They kept the older models and still sell them, along with the new collections. At least for a while.

    There’s been so much cynicism about what Bremont’s been doing over the years because there’s been so much behaviour from Bremont that deserves cynicism.
    I’m English, I’d love to get on board with with a company making watches in England, but I find the pricing of Bremonts absurdly ambitious.

    Davide is not your guy. New logo is a miss. New designs are also a bit of a miss. When you moved away from what set you apart, you lost a bit of your soul. 😢

    I had a Bremont MB2. It failed in its primary function of keeping accurate time. Furthermore the after sales offered little support. I sold it - poor quality.
