Vidste du, at ankerhjulet er en engelsk opfindelse? Eller at de første marinekronometre også var en britisk opfindelse? Hvis der er nogen urmager-tradition, som resten af verden kunne (og burde) misunde, er det netop den engelske, udviklet i kølvandet på erobringskampagner og annekteringer til Hans Nådige Majestæts imperium. Tompion, Harrison, Mudge, Arnold og, mere nyligt, George Daniels (opfinderen af det koaksiale ankerhjul, som Omega har taget i brug) er eksempler på berømte urmagere. Når man ved dette, lyder det mindre mærkeligt, at Bremont er, men frem for alt hævder at være, et britisk urfirma. Vi fandt ud af alt dette under præsentationen af Bremont hos The Watch Gallery.

Som om det ikke var nok, hedder grundlæggerne English, hvilket på en måde fjernede enhver tvivl. Ingeniører af profession og flyvere af passion, Giles og Nick English er sjælen bag Bremont, et ungt firma, som de skabte fra bunden baseret på en traumatisk livserfaring som deres fars død i en flyulykke, som Nick knap nok overlevede. Livet er kort, lærte de, og man må forfølge sine drømme, uanset hvor skøre de end måtte synes. De begyndte at samle ure i Biel, Schweiz, og i dag siger de stolt, at alle Bremont-ure samles i Henley-on-Thames, South Oxfordshire.

Bremont og Jaguar
Og hvad laver de hos Bremont? Ure, selvfølgelig. Som om der ikke var nok udbud. Det er også indlysende, at det er nødvendigt at finde (eller direkte skabe) en markedsniche for et nyt forslag, der også når et mættet marked. Og det er i denne "britiskhed", at Bremont finder sin eksistensberettigelse. Og alt britisk, eller hvad der kan identificeres som sådan, passer ind hos Bremont. Fra producenten af flysæder med katapultfunktion Martin Baker til den glorværdige Jaguar og dens E-Types, selvom de, for at vise det lange venskab mellem Storbritannien og USA, har udvidet deres samarbejde til Boeing eller selve America's Cup.

Et andet kendetegn ved Bremont er indarbejdelsen af små stykker af historiske genstande i deres ure. Fra stofstykker fra vingen på Kitty Hawk (brødrene Wrights fly (de var amerikanere)) til autentiske hjul fra Enigma-maskinen til Codebreaker-rotoren, en hyldest til Bletchley Park. Det er ikke noget nyt: Romain Jerome startede det med stål fra Titanic eller måne støv (for ikke at nævne dinosaur-koprolitter...), selvom jeg personligt finder det, Bremont gør, mere romantisk.

Det fandt for nylig sted hos The Watch Gallery i Barcelona deres seneste præsentation ved Giles English: som en fortsættelse af deres samarbejde med America's Cup (som viser sig at være britisk fremstillet, pokalen) lancerer de Regatta-kollektionen, som har den karakteristiske 15-minutters nedtællingstæller og fem minutters "starttid". Som jeg allerede har nævnt, vil denne begrænsede serie (235 enheder med sort skive og yderligere 235 enheder med hvid skive) have kulfiber i kronen fra sværdene på Oracle Team USA AC72, som i 2013 slog Emirates of New Zealand efter at have vundet 8 på hinanden følgende sejladser, da det var ved at blive diskvalificeret. I 2017 vil de prøve igen, og Bremont vil følge dem. Hvis du også vil følge dem, skal du bare prøve lykken her: www.bremont.com/bermuda
