Yesterday Bremont had a webcast, tried to get on it but didn't get off of work earlier enough. I mean I love it but $17k for stainless.
The Bremont Longitude also celebrates the great horological achievements of this nation both past and present.The raw source material was donated to Bremont by our partner, Royal Museums Greenwich, smelted down and then moulded into a flat ring that frames Longitude's automatic.
The latest Limited Edition is the first watch to carry ENG376, Bremont's first British manufactured movement at scale for 50 years.
You may have heard... Bremont launches it's first movement series to be manufactured in the UK.
Bremont has acquired the full rights to manufacture and re-engineer the celebrated K1 calibre from the Swiss firm “THE+” and launches the ENG300 movement series. A new manufacturing line for machining base components and T0 assembly will all be happening in the new Bremont Manufacturing & Technology Centre “The Wing” based in Henley-on-Thames, UK.
Bremont has made considerable investment into new machinery, staff and training and the firm’s in-house technical team has re-engineered 80% of the base calibre, including making a number of design improvements, in order to build a proprietary movement to the brand’s unique specification.
ESCRIPTION
The classic yet contemporary design of the Limited Edition Bremont Longitude marks a significant milestone in this journey. Not only does the Longitude house the brand’s first manufactured movement from its new ENG300 movement series but it also incorporates original brass from the historic Flamsteed Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, London. At Greenwich, the brass Flamsteed Meridian line marks the historic position where the first Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, made his observations and laid the foundations for accurate timekeeping and navigation. Bremont has made considerable investment into new machinery, staff and training and the firm’s in-house technical team has modified the base K1 calibre, for which it has acquired the full rights to manufacture and re-engineer from Swiss firm “THE+”. The ENG300 series is the result of Bremont re-engineering 80% of the base calibre, including making a number of design improvements, in order to build a proprietary movement to the brand’s unique specification.
