Bremont Boeing Model 1 GMT
Much of Bremont's DNA is deeply rooted in aviation. Co-Founders Nick and Giles English, both pilots themselves,set out to make high quality watches of classic design durable enough to withstand any pressures an aviator's timepiece may endure. 2014 saw Bremont announce a partnership with an aerospace giant, The Boeing Company.Nick English explains, Boeing is arguably the most famous aircraft company of all time and one of the world's mostinnovative engineering leaders. With its one hundred years of aerospace achievement, Boeing's history reads likethe annals of aviation.' Having seen a fantastic response to the debut Model 1 and Model 247 timepieces Bremontis delighted to be presenting further additions to the range at Baselworld 2015.MARCH 2015
Through the partnership with Boeing, a world leader in material research, Bremont now works closely with TheAdvanced Material Research Centre with Boeing (AMRC) at the University of Sheffield to develop exclusive newmanufacturing processes. Nick English sums up the two organisations as 'an incredible dichotomy'. The first watchesin the Bremont Boeing range, the Model 1 and Model 247, are characteristically Bremont in design but use highlydurable aviation-grade materials never used before in watch manufacture. The Bremont Boeing range is an excitingcollaboration between three industry front-runners using cutting edge expertise and engineering excellence tocelebrate the rich history and continued leadership in innovation synonymous with the Boeing brand.Working with Boeing's material research expertise and AMRC's development of advanced manufacturing processes,Bremont has set a new standard in aviation timepieces. Using inventive and more modern materials, the BremontBoeing Model 1 and Model 247 are stunning advanced designs that act as classic tributes to an earlier era in Boeing'srich history. The clean design of the Model 1 timepiece reflects the early simplicity of Boeing's very first aircraftdesign whilst the Model 247 was inspired by Boeing's progressive twin-engined Model 247 airliner from the 1930s.Developing these designs further has led to the introduction of the new Bremont Boeing Model 1 and Model247 Titanium GMT timepieces, manufactured from Boeing aviation-grade Ti 6-4. This is a special titanium that issignificantly stronger than commercial titanium and used widely in both airframes and engine components.
