Bremont Manufacturing & Technology Centre - "The Wing"

We are delighted to offer hosted tours of the new Bremont Manufacturing & Technology Centre, aka 'The Wing'. The state-of-the-art 35,000 sq ft facility, set in the heart of the Chiltern Valley, is the veritable home of British watchmaking and Bremont is proud to be at the forefront of the revival of this historically British craft. Over the 2-3 hour tour, you will learn about the history of watchmaking and how it originated on British shores, learn the internal workings of a watches movement, and all about Bremont's history and impact on the industry. The tour also includes seeing how the watches are milled in the machining room and what materials it takes, then built, serviced, and tested by the watchmakers, and finally what the end product looks like. All net proceeds from the tour will be donated to Bremont's nominated charity.
