Thanks for sharing! It's without doubt a beautifully design, and as Bremont state in their advertising, it was certainly over engineered, but they definitely pulled it off, I particularly like the side profile of the case and inside of the watch and bracelet. The problem with the design was simply timing, many brands from your Casio's to your GP's had released or rereleased a similarly styled watch, and all around the same time, which unfortunately initially backfired for many, though now the dust has settled. So based on that I thought what could have Bremont done differently to have avoided such criticism. I don't disagree, if I had the money I would certainly pick one up.
Bremont never recovered from the "in-house" movement faux pas - used as a stick to beat them with ever since by Swiss watch snobs. I own the blue H1 Fury...it's my favourite watch to wear out & more accurate than my BB GMT & SMP too. I'm after a Genta-style piece but I'll only buy a Supernova if I can get a great discount because in the metal - I tried one on when I bought my Fury - it looks very high quality & upmarket....not so much in pics & vids though.
Unfortunately not! And it's not as if Swiss brands haven't been embroiled in the exact same act, but they do have it in for outsiders making a name for it in the industry, kind of ironic when you think many Swiss brands started life in England before the great war. The Supernova is a stunning watch, the side and back profile are magnificent, it's like unboxing an extremely beautifully wrapped present. Agreed the online stuff doesn't do it justice and unfortunately that's why it doesn't resonate with viewers, that and the fact Bremont don't market themselves enough and frequently enough with the large UA-cam channels. The H1 Fury is a fine piece! Just a classic looking design and that almost navy blue dial with matching leather strap is perfect 👍
It's a stunning and stylish design, how can you not love it! Your guess is as good as mine, there's a few possibly different reasons as to why, I personally think it could be in part due to the brand still being relatively new in the grand scheme of things and high end/expensive relatively speaking, in some ways it's similar to the dislike toward Hublot. Richard Mille had a similar start in the watch world and now if you're extremely wealthy you have to have one...
@@alastairforbes2792 Thank you Alastair! It is very well put together piece, I really like the side and back profile as well. It's definitely one of those designs that grows on you, the more you look the more you see...
Sorry but I think the original bracelet design looks great and the re-engineered one you put on there makes it looks much less classy. I know we all see things differently but that's my take on it. As you say in the review (which, incidentally doesn't really focus on the movement, accuracy or other things I might have been interested in), imitation is a big nod to flattery.
Certainly no need to apologise! That's totally fair enough. It's not a review as such, it was more or a means to getting those who dismissed the watch because of the bracelet being too similar... to hopefully view it differently, it's a cool watch, and agreed, imitation can be viewed as flattery, but timing is also key, the problem was, they released the watch shortly after four others such as Zenith and GP had made their take on the Royal Oak. Thank you for your comments!
Saw the watch last week for the first time and found the bracelet spot on. It’s a gorgeous watch I’d buy ahead of may Swiss brands if I had the cash

Power reserve dial apart, I love it, including the machining
Re all the knocking of Bremont, why ??

Is that two separate date wheels?
Yes, it's done in a traditional digital display style or jumping date like on some A Lange & Söhne. It's a cool feature!
I'm warming to it - I didn't think that would happen when I first saw it! I prefer the black dial with Arabics.
Enjoyable video - thoughtful content 👍
