H&I introduce two new watch brands for Christmas
17 December 2007

Bremont

Bremont is a boutique watch brand that operates from its own atelier in Switzerland but it is quintessentially British in heritage and design.  Producing only 1000 timepieces a year, Bremont has set out to produce mechanical watches that are practical, robust and reliable and they have achieved it in spades.  The claim that their watches are Tested Beyond Endurance is not just an advertising slogan.  After four years of development under the ownership of brothers Nicholas and Giles English, the watches were launched in the UK and the US in 2007, and Hamilton & Inches are excited to be one of only four stockists.  This is the watch for all those action heroes.

Breguet

Since 1775, the name of A-L Breguet has been synonymous with the evolution of haute horlogerie.  Some of the finest inventions to assist in the measurement of time, for example the tourbillon mechanism, belong to Breguet and the company's history is the envy of even its finest competitors.  Today, under the passionate guidance of Nicholas Hayek, President and CEO, Breguet are recognized as being a brand at the forefront of the luxury watch sector.  So their inclusion in H&Is watch gallery, the finest collection of luxury watch brands outside London was inevitable: it was certainly overdue.  From 1  Dec Breguet watches are available from the Edinburgh store.
