In last year’s Precision watch special we brought you news of the rapid progress happening at British brand Bremont’s then recently opened, 35,000 sq ft manufacturing and technology facility The Wing in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Key to that was the launch of the firm’s first in-house movement series, the ENG300, which debuted in a limited edition of 150 Longitude watches named after the ‘home of time’ at the Greenwich meridian.
Making such a relatively small number of watches with manufacture movements is one thing, but scaling the business up to serious production levels is another – which is why Bremont is calling its latest development “the most significant” in the 20 years since the firm was founded by brothers Nick and Giles English.
