Bremont releases first watches in June 2007 |
The bremont Watch Company will be releasing the first of its watches in June 2007. It has taken more than three years of research and development to bring the first series of Bremont watches from the drawing board to reality. The high standard of finish and attention to detail which can be seen in everything from the hand-cut and engraved winding rotor in the sapphire crystal back to the meticulous machining of the three-part 'Trip-Tick' cases takes considerable time and skill.
As a result, no more than 1,000 examples of each model will be produced annually.
