POA

The Bremont DH-88 Limited Edition celebrates the astonishing de Havilland DH-88 Comet, the aircraft that captured the world’s imagination with a phenomenal record-breaking flight in 1934.

    Description

    To commemorate this feat and to raise funds for the Shuttleworth Collection, Bremont introduces the ‘Limited Edition Bremont DH88’ chronometer, a special timepiece which has been painstakingly handcrafted in the company’s workshops in England and in an elegant style reminiscent of that wonderful 1930s era. The 82 rose gold cases house the beautifully finished BE-54AE chronometer rated chronograph movement with GMT functionality.

    REINVIGORATING THE BRITISH WATCH INDUSTRY

    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.
