BREMONT
There are watches you get at the corner
shop in the mall, there are watches you get as a gift,
and if you’re lucky, there may be one watch you
treat yourself to that is a timepiece meant to last
for generations. Now available in America, Bremont,
the British watchmaker, offers hand-assembled watches
that are limited to 1,000 of each style per year. The
ALT1-C is the company’s signature piece
with a cream-colored face and sturdy leather band. This
pilot’s pride features a water-resistant aviation
auto-chronometer with a specially-processed stainless
steel case nine times as durable as average steel watch
cases, an equally tough anti-reflective sapphire crystal,
hand-cut and engraved winding rotor, and an invisible
back to see the precision automatic works, all in a
deluxe carved wooden box. $4,950. www.bremont.com
