 THE ARTISTRY OF TOURBILLON 
HIGHLY EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In the intricate world of watchmaking, few complications evoke as much fascination as the tourbillon. For the uninitiated, a tourbillon is more than just a feature; it's a testament to watchmaking skill, a marvel of engineering and a symbol of luxury.

A tourbillon watch is a type of mechanical timepiece designed to improve accuracy by mitigating the effects of gravity. The escapement regulates the release of energy from the mainspring to the gear train, ensuring consistent movement of the hands, while the balance wheel oscillates to control the gears' speed.

Creating a tourbillon is no small feat. It requires an extraordinary level of precision, skill, and patience. Each component of the tourbillon mechanism is meticulously crafted, often by hand, and assembled with the utmost care. The entire assembly consists of many parts, all of which must work in perfect harmony.

THE BIRTH OF THE TOURBILLON

A tourbillon is a sophisticated mechanism found in high-end mechanical watches, conceived by the British watchmaker and inventor John Arnold, it was developed by his friend the Swiss-French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet and patented by Breguet on 26 June 1801. Its primary purpose is to enhance timekeeping accuracy by addressing the effects of gravity on the watch's escapement.

The name “tourbillon” means “whirlwind” in French, a fitting description for the revolving mechanism at its heart. Breguet’s innovation was driven by the quest for greater accuracy.

At the time, pocket watches were the norm, often carried vertically in the pocket. This constant position caused gravitational forces to affect the balance wheel and escapement, leading to timing inaccuracies.

To combat this, Breguet devised a rotating cage that housed the escapement and balance wheel. By continuously rotating, the tourbillon averages out positional errors, significantly enhancing the watch’s accuracy.

This ingenious mechanism was a breakthrough in precision timekeeping and remains a cornerstone of high-end watchmaking.

THE TERRA NOVA DUAL-TIME TOURBILLON

At Bremont, where we blend the traditional artistry of watchmaking with modern innovation, we hold the tourbillon in the highest regard.

OUR WATCHMAKING PHILOSOPHY

The simple connecting thread of British watchmaking is one born of practicality. Britain as an island nation relied heavily on maritime capability to connect itself with the world, to establish trading relationships, to explore the globe and to defend its shoreline.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The necessity to understand proximity is central to maritime excellence and to search for Longitude requires exacting and consistent timing. This is a watchmaking culture inherited from the practical necessity to reliably know what time it is and to understand your location when out in the wilds of the world.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This British watchmaking culture became part of the national spirit through a sense of adventure and curiosity.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

To climb, to trek and to sail to the far corners of the unexplored parts of the Earth. The spirit of the British adventurers and explorers are central to our brand’s spirit.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This spirit, along with an essential and practical approach to watchmaking gives us our provenance, our reason to be, and our alluring mission to create the world’s most capable mechanical tool watches for those who know no boundaries.

 Tackling rugged and unfamiliar terrain in the pursuit of viewing one of the world’s greatest spectacles, witnessing the Northern Lights is a voyage of self-discovery for many. Through the launch of the Aurora, Bremont and Bamford Watch Dept. encourage you to pursue your own path to find your light.

The mesmerising and otherworldly spectacle of the Aurora Borealis has captivated humanity for centuries. Fittingly, 2024 is set to bring the best opportunity to experience the Aurora in over 20 years, due to the solar maximum where the sun reaches the peak of its 11-year cycle and enables the Northern Lights to be their most visible.

Bremont is motivated by a relentless determination to create the world’s most capable tool watches, worn by those who dare to venture into the unknown. The brand’s mission is to be there at the limits of possibility in adventure and exploration, championing self-belief and the drive to succeed.

As such George Bamford’s quest to chase the Northern Lights formed the inspiration for the limited-edition collection, inspiring self-belief, and a passion for adventure. George’s pursuits reflect the spirit of ‘Take it Further’, Bremont’s mantra and maxim.

 Davide Cerrato, Bremont CEO comments: “Joining forces with George following the sell-out success of the first collaboration between Bremont and Bamford Watch Dept has been an exciting adventure. I have always been fascinated by the challenge of creating a timepiece that is as compelling in the dark as it is in the light. Working with George I am thrilled that we have achieved a luminous show which mirrors the magic and spectacle of the aurora borealis.”

The Bremont Bamford Aurora is a limited edition of 500 pieces and presents a mission-ready and highly tactical design from the Supermarine collection, with GMT functionality and anti-shock protection. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The design is defined by the striking all-black finish with a bold application of entrancing green emission Super- LumiNova®, reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis’ dancing ribbons of light, which captivate and inspire.

The 43mm Stainless Steel DLC-coated Trip-Tick case is complimented by a bi-coloured polished Sapphire 24-hour bezel for day and night indication, and a luminous California sandwich dial design. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Vibrant green Super-LumiNova® permeates the design from the bezel to the cut-out numerals creating a highly legible dial with increased luminosity because of its ‘layered’ dial construction.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Instead of a single plate, a layered dial is comprised of a solid disc of luminous material which is covered with a plate with index apertures to expose the Super-LumiNova® as characters. This layered design achieves incredible performance in visibility and adds a lovely depth to the dial.

The dial is further enhanced with matt black hour and minute hands filled with green Super-LumiNova®, a matt black and gloss green GMT hand filled with green Super-LumiNova® and a gloss green centre second hand.

Turning the watch over reveals a DLC-coated decorated case-back and the strap is finished in black nubuck leather with green stitching and DLC-coated pin buckle to match.

BREMONT – ARMED Forces Vulvan Edition

BREMONT – ARMED Forces Vulvan Chronograph Limited Edition 2023

Bremont pays tribute to an aviation icon with the launch of the limited edition Vulcan

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The Avro Vulcan was a jet powered, tail-less, delta-wing, high altitude strategic bomber, operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. Heralded as a symbolic last defence against nuclear war, the Avro Vulcan is one of the most iconic aircraft in the RAF’s history. As a long-standing supporter and partner of His Majesty’s Armed Forces, Bremont celebrates this iconic symbol of British aviation and engineering with a commemorative limited edition timepiece.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Limited to only 250 pieces, the 42mm Vulcan forms part of Bremont’s Armed Forces Collection, a series of timepieces born out of a partnership with the British Ministry of Defence. Specifically, the Vulcan is modelled on the base architecture of the Arrow, a watch within the collection inspired by the Royal Air Force.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Whilst retaining some of Bremont’s core design codes, the new chronograph weaves in some subtle details synonymous with the historic aircraft. 

 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Vulcan’s matte black dial features a running seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock with a two-tone 3-D camouflage design, and the elapsed minutes 3 o’clock counter features a nuclear symbol indicating the arsenal carried onboard. A date function is situated at 6 o’clock.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

In line with the wider Armed Forces Collection, legibility is key and a high degree of blue emission white Super-LumiNova® is applied across the dial.  

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

For the first time, Bremont has introduced elegant, skeletonised, cathedral minute and hour hands which are also applied with white Super-LumiNova® and complemented by a striking RAF blue chronograph hand. These distinctive design details took inspiration from the cold-war clocks fitted in the Vulcan cockpit. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 Turning the watch over reveals a stainless steel enclosed case back decorated with an engraving of the Avro B-1 Bomber and the heraldic badge of the Royal Air Force encircled with the inscription: ‘Approved by Her Majesty’s Armed Forces’ given that this timepiece was designed and approved by the MOD under Her Majesty’s Reign. Once the crests of His Majesty’s Armed Forces have been decreed, all case backs within Bremont’s Armed Forces Collection will be updated accordingly.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The limited edition Vulcan features a 56-hour power reserve and chronograph functionality operated by a pusher at 2 o’clock which starts, stops, and resets the stopwatch on the chronometer rated BE-51AE movement, a necessity for any timed mission. The two-piece satin and polished hardened steel case is in keeping with the original Arrow design.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The distinctive delta-wing was a new concept, and the Vulcan was the first combat aircraft in the world to adopt this unique wing shape. Originally painted bright ‘anti-flash’ white suited to operating at high altitudes and deploying nuclear bombs should it have been necessary; the requirements of the Vulcan changed over time and when they were required for more low-level tactical work they gained a new camouflage pattern. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This pattern is reflected on the sailcloth strap of the Bremont Vulcan which also comes with an ‘RAF blue’ sailcloth strap option.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Bremont Co-Founder Giles English comments: “The Vulcan’s legacy as a symbol of British military power and technological innovation continues to be celebrated today, and it remains one of the most iconic aircraft of the Cold War era. As aviators ourselves, celebrating such remarkable aircraft and feats of engineering is truly inspirational and it’s fitting to incorporate these commemorative pieces within our Armed Forces Collection through Bremont’s partnership with the MoD.”

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Despite its immense success, the Vulcan was retired from service in 1984 due to changing military priorities. However, a small amount of aircraft have been preserved and restored. The Bremont Vulcan watch is accompanied by elegant silver cufflinks in the shape of the aircraft, which incorporate aluminum from the original airframe of Avro Vulcan XH558 ‘Spirit of Great Britain’, the final Vulcan in military service.

The Vulcan was the second of the Royal Air Force’s ‘V bombers’ and like the Valiant and Victor provided part of Great Britain’s nuclear deterrent force for fifteen years, designed to carry conventional bombs and nuclear weapons in the event of the cold war. The prototype B-1 first flew on 30 August 1952 and four years later work began on an improved B-2 design. Powered by four Rolls-Royce Olympus engines, which gave it a top speed of over 600 miles per hour and a range of electronic and defensive systems to protect it against enemy attack, the aircraft had impressive capabilities.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Perhaps the most iconic and historic use of the Avro Vulcan was during ‘Operation Black Buck’ during the Falklands conflict in 1982. There were seven attack missions in total comprising of aircraft from 44, 50 and 101 Squadrons from RAF Waddington. Staged from the Ascension Island, close to the Equator, Operation Black Buck saw two Vulcans (designed for medium range missions), supported by eleven Victor tanker aircraft, drop a series of bombs on pre-designated targets on Argentinian positions at Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands. Although the damage to anti-radar installations and Port Stanley airfield was relatively minimal, it showed that a target even 6,600 nautical miles away was very much possible, and it pushed the Argentinians to keep their fighter aircraft on their mainland. The Black Buck Raids proved to be the longest bombing raids in history at the time, and a logistical masterstroke.

An official partnership with the Ministry of Defence, paying tribute to His Majesty’s Armed Forces, saw Bremont become the sole luxury watch brand permitted to use the signs, symbols, and heraldic badges of all three services: the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The resulting Armed Forces Collection, made up of the Argonaut, Broadsword and Arrow offers the civilian market authentic military inspired timepieces and provides a lovely counterpart to Bremont’s bespoke military special projects and commissions which forms a significant part of the business.
