Bingo. It could have been the best or the most cringeworthy advert of all time and it would make absolutely no difference to whether I like the watch or not.

Re: Exciting future for Bremont

As someone who has never found a Bremont I liked enough to buy, but also doesn't hate the brand for previous PR err.. issues, I'm intrigued by the direction they are going in. Committing to and investing in British manufacturing, raising additional capital, hiring the new CEO, etc.; the next few yea...

Re: The “Where’s My Watch?” Game

Wasn't too difficult by the looks of it!

They also had on show a watch of their most famous ex-employee. My 5 year old saw it first and said "Daddy, Daddy a watch for you". Didn't know whether to be proud or ashamed.

Re: The “Where’s My Watch?” Game

A watch heavily inspired by the 70s, a time when the importance of this place started to become more widely known.

Re: “The Twelve” is live

This watch needs a darker dial for legibility The dial texture is like a textured painted ceiling I can confirm that, so far, the white/silver is 100% legible when a) in bright sunshine, b) looking at it from an angle, and c) in the back of a pretty dark cab. Can't speak for the light blue but I im...

It reflects loads of light. There's a video early on in this thread that shows the titanium bracelet is much subtler when it comes to how it plays with the light.

Oh, and for those wondering - the dial is not subtle whatsoever, at least not on this version.

Re: “The Twelve” is live

No worries! I would say 6.5 inch wrist is about the minimum for this watch. On rubber, down to 6 inches should be fine. I think I'm a bit less than 6.5 but works fine for me. I've been wearing my 36mm Sealanders a lot recently and it doesn't look large in comparison. I tried on the Zenith Defy Skyl...
