It is not completely unexpected to find that the world sets its time by Greenwich and not by Geneva. Whilst Geneva and Switzerland may be producing the vast majority of luxury wristwatches today, this certainly wasn’t always the case.
In 1800 half of the world's watches, around 200,000 pieces a year, were produced on British shores by British watchmakers, which is an incredible statistic.
Another wonderful statistic is that probably over 60-70% of the innovation in a modern-day mechanical watch has come from Britain, including every major escapement design. Bremont's mission has always been to play a part in bringing back watchmaking to British shores.
By having a tour of the Bremont Manufacturing and Technology Centre, you are experiencing the cutting edge of the watchmaking industry as well as the reinvigoration of a lost industry on British soil.

A very interesting place to visit. Bremont are trying hard to make it in a fiercely competitive market. The venue is excelllent, and the people are very nice. There are some interesting artefacts on show for aviation, car and movie fans. We are reviewing the tour here, which was really faultless for the uninitiated in horological fields. I do not come into the uninitiated bracket, and I think that Bremont have yet to discover their Eureka moment. I am sure it will come, but they are not there yet. It would be a good time to get involved with Bremont as a brand because they will only get more expensive in the future.

This is a fantastic tour. The hospitality was excellent and the tour itself was comprehensive and lasted the full 3 hours . Our tour guide Tom was extraordinarily knowledgeable but presented swaths of information with clarify humour and a lightness of touch . He answered questions ( from clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic attendees ) fully and transparently including on the very recent changes to the Business under its new CEO . And part of the tour fee goes to London Air Ambulance as well .

Having previously visited 'The Wing' for an event I was keen to attend a full factory tour which I did in January 2024. Our guide Luke's passion for watches and the Bremont brand was obvious along with his considerable knowledge which enabled him to discuss a wide range of areas and keep the attention of both true watch connoisseurs in the group and those less invested in the topic (such as my parents whom I dragged along)! The 3 hour tour passed quickly and often felt like a casual discussion between those with a common interest. 'The Wing' is a beautiful and impressive facility as are the watches produced; It is amazing what Bremont have achieved. The visit solidified my desire to own a Bremont watch. An e-mail to Luke after the tour led to a phone conversation which aided me in my decision to purchase a 'Fury' timepiece that I am very pleased with. This was a great tour with a fantastic guide: I would highly recommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in watches and/or manufacturing.

We were given a very interesting and informative history of Bremont, and the development of high precision watch manufacturing. The growth of the company over the twenty or so years is most impressive as are their plans for the future.
I particularly liked the story of how the Company's name was chosen which reflects a tale of good humanity.
I would recommend the tour to anyone as a must visit.

This was a really interesting experience. It felt a real privilege to get such a close insight into what Bremont do, how they came to do it - and where they want to go.
I highly recommend taking the opportunity to visit The Wing

I attended Bremont as part of a business networking day out. There was a good mix of time to network, eat, have coffee and explore the Centre. I never felt the day was rushed or was dragging on. The story behind the brand is very interesting and the Centre is very impressive.

I was invited along to a networking event at Bremont's global HQ in February 2024, and whilst it was a really enjoyable event, the Bremont facility was amazing to experience.
We were provided with a talk on the brand, a tour of the facility, along with a chance to try our hand at a bit of watchmaking. If you have the opportunity, it really is a great place to visit, with an extremely professional and helpful team of people, and a stunning collection of watches.

Wonderful facilities and exceptional staff (thank you to Christine and Tom for making sure our experience was first class). A very interesting history of Bremont - emerging as one of the best British brands. The watch building activity was also great fun. All in all, a super day, it provided an excellent setting for business networking.
