Bremont Watch Company has released a press release this morning detailing the opening of their new headquarters and watch making facility in Henley on Thames, South Oxfordshire.
This custom built, oak framed building in the heart of the Chiltern Valley provides the perfect facility for the manufacture and development of their high end time pieces.
In a bid to re-establish British watch making in the UK, Bremont will be assembling and finishing off key movement and case components in Henley.
“Our intention has always been to bring as much watch manufacturing back to the UK as we can and we are at the start of an exciting period in the company’s growth. Britain has an illustrious history of watch making and considerable engineering talent for us to utilise, we intend to make the most of it. Naturally we are still very dependent on our wonderful Swiss engineering partners and staff who we continue to work with and thank them for their ongoing supportâ€.
Giles English Co-Founder of Bremont
Bremont continue to build and promote their British heritage; with the successful opening of their first boutique store in Mayfair, London last year and now the opening of these new headquarters. This just reinforces the quintessentially British ethos of the brand and marks an exciting future for British watch making.
