Luxury timepiece brand Bremont wants to bring its entire watchmaking process to the UK. The company already assembles its watches in the UK, but with the addition of a manufacturing manager and backing from Jaguar Land Rover and Giles English, Bremont founders Nick and Martin-Baker plan to produce components domestically. Currently, only a few UK-based watchmakers produce their own parts, with some of the required skill-sets “alien to the UK”, Martin-Baker acknowledged. With a watch comprising over 140 parts, a strong understanding of materials is vital. As such, Bremont has sought advice from the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre.
