A choice we can defend in person.
Bremont was founded in Henley-on-Thames in 2002 by the English brothers Nick and Giles English, and the house has always answered to the same brief: a British tool watch with real aviation lineage, built hard and made to be read. We carry Bremont because it never pretends to be anything other than that, and that honesty sits well with us.
This Altitude Chronograph is the exception that proves the rule, restoring a new old stock Valjoux 23 column-wheel calibre from 1916, refinished with Chronode inside a 42mm titanium Trip-Tick case. The salmon dial and pulsometer scale read as a vintage doctor's chronograph. Limited to forty, it suits a collector who reads movements before dials.
Hand-finished, made to be serviced.
The BC99M Valjoux 23 Hand-wound movement carries 17 Jewels jewels, 48-hour of power reserve, beating at 21,600bph (3Hz).
Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist — with a loaner in the meantime.

A relationship, not a transaction.
Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Bremont, handle the shipping both ways, and put a loaner on your wrist while you wait.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.
When your watch is at service we will put another independent on your wrist, so the wrist is never empty.
Hold it once. Turn it over.
A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
