So named after the boat their father lovingly hand-built for their mother, Bremont’s founding brothers Nick and Giles English expand their successful foray into women’s watches with the new Bremont SOLO “Lady K”. A precious nod to their mother and her artistic and adventurous spirit – which were of equal match to their father’s pilot profession – the compact 34mm timepiece builds upon the brand’s established aviation and military principles with elegance and finesse. And strikes a neat balance between being jewellery and timepiece. The model also follows the sell-out success of last year’s Bremont Hawking Quantum, the pioneering female model from the remarkable historic limited edition collection, then conceived with the Hawking family.

Diamonds have been used for the first time in Bremont’s core collection and feature both on the dial – as eight applied indices containing claw-set full-cut 1.3mm VS2 GH diamonds – and on the stainless-steel case, its bezel claw-set with a further 60 white brilliant cut 1.35mm VVS FG diamonds, their total carat weight 0.7ct. At Bremont, all diamonds are ethically sourced, following the Kimberley Process and are conflict free. The dial, in turn is available in either white mother of pearl of black Tahitian mother of pearl, the latter of which appropriately calls to mind pictures of the open sea, yet to be explored by boat. Due to the nature of the material each dial is unique.
