HANDS-ON: Keeping illustrious company with the Breguet Reine de Naples 8918
First shown at Baselworld 2017, the stunner that is the Breguet Reine de Naples 8918 in rose gold is my pick of Breguet’s women’s offerings (in Australia) at the moment. Breguet is all proportion, horological order and watchmaking museum elegance. But sprinkle that heritage with 1.46 carats worth of white diamonds and the ghosts of French royalty, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Keeping illustrious company with the Breguet Reine de Naples 8918 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Last year, Bremont launched a brand-new range of classically styled pilot watches.

INTRODUCING: Bremont returns to the deep with new Supermarine S501 and updated S500 models
The Bremont Supermarine, first released in 2009, has long been a serious dive watch, and one that stood out from the rest of the submersible pack. Last year, Bremont released the S300, a smaller, more civilian-friendly take on the genre that was, unsurprisingly, wildly popular. So it was inevitable that the larger S500 received a … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Bremont returns to the deep with new Supermarine S501 and updated S500 models appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Bremont have always been (rightfully) proud of their strong relationships with various military services, squadrons and organisations, be they active or off-duty.
