Sorry about Bremont going bad on you. That’s the problem with micro brands, right? But don’t despair, I just saw a guy cop a 90!!!% loss on a Bovet.

A Rolex GMT Master II for 6 weeks of salary? Times have changed or your first job was one heck of a job haha.

You’re looking for problems mate. SWATCH website listed a warranty repair OR no questions asked return policy. What more do you want?

IDK if you still care or not, but that mistake in the functions *may* be as simple as changing the battery.

I am considering the Twelve in arctic white to be an alternative to my Tissot Tradition with a black dial. It would be the most money - by far - that I've ever spent on a watch. Weird question, but do you think it makes sense to have this watch represent your most expensive and "luxury" watch? I ask since you're someone who has the ability to afford higher end, so you view this one differently from how I do. Thanks!

Great audiobook, very well narrated . . . you have a grand command of the English vocabulary! 😂👏👏💯

Where does the Trump watch fit into these categories?

Cool video as usual! I have an slightly unrelated question, what do you keep your watches in on a daily basis ? I guess it's not on a table as shown in a video haha! Cheers

For me its all about how a watch makes you feel (at a moment in time) regardless of price. Thats not something you can label or put on a table, point to it and say thats it, there nor is it static.

I love the Bremont. I would love to see the dial without the E and F indicators on the power reserve. I think the power reserve is self explanatory. The indicator clutter the dial. The dial would look more elegant and clean.

I don't believe Rolex makes over 80,000 watches a month. No way.

"guarantees or servicing" what a joke. It would cost you twice as much to service a Patek than it would to buy an absolutely top-notch "fake" that is indistinguishable from the real thing and will last you longer than the Patek would before anyone would even consider sending it in for service.

I watched the video going to myself "holy sh*t that is a really good fake. The movement is perfect. The engraving is perfect. I've never seen one like this". Then I saw your subtitle... it was a genuine watch in the video. lol.

Somehow when i wear it of the bone it looks stupid. It looks more girly the higher you place it.. I love it on the bone. feels more natural. And you still see a glimps of the watch when i wear a sweater or blouse. It brings that tiny edge of bling bling more as it looks stylish to see a watch as a juwelry. It needs to be shown to the outside world. And again when i have it of my bone i feel it on my skin all day long. almost annoying me. And as soon as i swap it over my bone it all good :)

Would love a review video of your GS 301 !

The KEY reason Bremont is strategically doing this is completely due to the awfully excessive business spend and financially submarining Bremont. Two brothers spending like crazy for the past 10 years without showing profit. The influx of capital and changing leadership, product and marketing to produce at higher volume at lower price points is their only viable path forward.

You have a really nice collection even if I can't get into all the brands. I really enjoy Pete McConvill's videos. I do hope he gets back on the horse.

New friend here sending may full suppor AMZWATCH 's watch，Worth

As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, AMZWATCH is a good choice.

My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from AMZWATCH

I love the Rolex 17000 you have. I have the exact one

Bremont no thanks . Meh movements .very over priced watches

Something perhaps not considered here is vintage models. If prestige and connoisseur do not overlap one could argue that vintage Rolex fits this overlap. Equally the same could be said about more esoteric Rolex models like the milgauss.

I've been writing a script for my own thoughts on Bremont .. a sort of 'review' of the company. It's taken me a while to step back and not react so emotionally to the changes because Bremont took such a hard left turn that it gave us all whiplash. A feeling I think you also seem to share. The 'Nick & Giles' era definitely had it's fair share of misfires but also so many unique and cool watches. As I explained to a friend recently .. their original motto (or even mission statement) was 'Tested beyond endurance'. That is such a fine and strong message ... masculine, sure, and not so much a boast as it was a promise. Then you have the absolute weak-sauce tagline of 'Take it further' .. which just wreaks of feminist corporate b*ll*x .. the kind of tagline that gives you glaucoma from how much it makes your eyes roll. I withheld my judgement on the new pieces until I had a chance to see them. And when I did it was so aggressively underwhelming an encounter as to be more bland then beige. It's not necessarily that the new pieces are bad .. I'm sure they're perfectly fine timepieces. But as you pointed out .. in a luxury brand you're looking for uniqueness, and a design that excites you to wear it. I actually had a long discussion with Chat GPT to get some perspective on the changes of Bremont .. I included a lot of data from what I knew and told it to take into account that I'm looking for an unbiased answer and that my perspective would probably be biased. It produced a lot of interesting comparisons of a technical nature between the old Superamarine S300 and the new 2024 version. In the end ChatGPT agreed that the older pieces were of a more robust design. And I'm using some of these points in my next video on this. I own 6 Bremont pieces .. my favourite being (as I've said many times) my Kingsman edition. That piece appeals on so many levels. The nerd factor of it being a tie-in to a spy thriller movie .. the technical nature of the Alt1-WT being an incredibily feature rich and useful watch .. and the design which stands out because nothing else looks like a Bremont. It starts conversations when people see me wearing it because it's a handsome piece .. but it's also something they've not seen before. And isn't that what we all want? .. Something unique .. something that other people aren't wearing? So when I saw the new 2024 Bremont designs I couldn't believe they were going in this direction .. a derivative case, with an 'old west' style dial and a meagerness that just seems so painfully underwhelming. And the fact that these new pieces are barely seen as wrist shots on insta, or facebook .. and that the sales of them appear to be low speaks volumes about the fact that they're exciting absolultely nobody. Old Bremont seemed like a collection of pirates .. and renegades .. getting together to create something really special. Unfortunately I think Nick and Giles just had too many people whispering advice into their ears and they drifted from the core concept of the Alt1 and the MBII. New Bremont is so very corporate. They've sacked almost all the old staff . sold the CNC machines and laid off a bunch of the watchmakers and expecting the American audience to pick up the sales. The fact the the British isles was MISSING from the backplate of the first run of Terra Nova's is frankly unforgivable. And I know there's a particular anti-british sentiment with the higher-ups at Bremont right now. Bottom line is .. Bremont's heart and soul has left the company. And Davide is doing it no favours. It's my hope that Bremont re-discovers itself .. and loses that stupid new logo (what absolute brainlet thought that was a good idea?!?) and that the company continues. But they're going to have to do much better than the 'Terra Nova'. Bremont had a brilliant design language .. changing that was a huge mistake. Discontinuing the develoepment of the ENG movement is also a huge mistake. Well .. these are all things I am going to talk about in my video. So I thank you for sharing your thoughts as you're a discerning collector and clearly someone who loves the Bremont of yesteryear. On that note .. I just bought myself the Argylle GMT watch .. seeing as no one else has bothered to review it .. I''m intending to be the first :D.

Love AMZWATCH watch， Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.

Who's a lucky boy then.

That is truly intriguing, for I tend to wear mine directly upon the bone, though a portion of it was surgically removed in an attempt to repair my arm after a rather unfortunate altercation. Interestingly, this alteration has afforded me the opportunity to position my watches in what I consider to be the ideal spot on my wrist. Wearing it atop the bone offers a remarkable sense of stability, preventing the watch from shifting excessively. Moreover, I find it allows for effortless glances at the time.

Thanks for yet another great instructive video. Your posh accents help pay more attention to what you are saying. I wonder if you ever use any expletives in your life :) I certainly do and not with a posh accent but with a French one. With regards to IWC, I would highly recommend the IW371615 Portugieser Chronograph, there is a French gentleman there that is very good at taking care of his customers.

AMZWATCH watches are great and affordable！

Anybody know where Nick and Gilles are now?

I just buy and wear watches that look good on me when I wear my clothes, whether formal, casual or sport.

this vid is so out of focus its making me sea sick

Very good video 👍👍👍

The state of Bremont makes me sad. Im not sure what the solution is to get them to a profitable state is but going down market rarely seems to work with luxury products, and theres so much competition in the price point they're targeting. I did come close to buying a Fury model recently for a deep discount, but I just dont have any confidence that Bremont will exist long term, unfortunately.

You are an amazing storyteller! Thank you so for sharing your Odysseus story. I was at the ALS Boutique in Berlin earlier this month. The wait-list quoted for this model was 4+ years. On the secondary market, it's going for nearly 1.5-2 times the MSRP. At these prices, it doesn't make sense to pursue one!

A good case of poor naming confusing matters. I kept forgetting what, "Prestige," meant. Why not name the categories after their differentiating property? Feeling, image, value and ... whatever the he'll prestige is.

Off.

Thanks posting this. Between this video, and the one you posted about your ALS repair experience, I’ve convinced myself to try and acquire a Lange 1

A man of taste! Love the collection

I think 'luxury' is entirely based on how much you are willing to spend in contrast to how much you earn. Luxury for me is spending 1K or more on a watch. And love your videos btw!

Btw, you have many watches. Doesn't it become a burden?

Nothing premium about those entry level brands. Premium is a superlative. Its meaning in latin is Award, and only the best is awarded, so a superlative. Nothing prestigious about Bremont. Must have been a British thing. These categories make little sense. All Langes fit all, for example. Premium and luxury are mostly interchangeable. Prestigious is probably both those, but also known to a larger crowd. Conaiseur to a smaller, and may not necessarily be luxury or premium, just niche. Funny how some watches are cat both Prestigious and Conaiseur. The RolexDaytona would be the former, only. The Zenith Chronomaster the later, only. The Speedy, both.

This watch, like all CWs (apart from bel canto) looks cheap. All their watches hold back on metal cos metal costs money, their bezels are all too small with oversized dials, and their dials are not very refined imho.

Bremont; being local, I was all lined up to one to add to the collection. I waited, due to the promise of what was coming at Watches and Wonders. I saw what was announced, and immediately scrubbed that idea. A real shame, and the devaluing of the 'original' models is enough to not even want one of them.

I do enjoy, to a limited extent, Pete’s thoughts on watches and watch collection. But I do think his “over-thinking” actually closes himself off from the less-clinical appreciation of watches. For example, if you let yourself get mentally taken by the role of Tudor as the subordinate of Rolex (something that he’s going to talk about), then you may be missing an opportunity to enjoy a really good watch. People should be more open-minded and curious and allow themselves to try new things. I would have never thought that a BB54 was meant for me, but when I allowed myself to try it, I found how wonderful it is to own, and the joys keep coming as I try it on different straps.

Great content sir, I was recently in London attending the Time London event. I have a large UK base of viewers, would love to collab and chat watches with you. I do a twice daily livestream, at 11:45 am UK and 11:45 pm UK time. Swing by and talk some watches with me - ARCHIELUXURY

Check out the Blancpain 50 fathoms. 45 mm and 42 mil. Best sports dive watch there is. High end movement wonderful history and they are 10K preowned. On a different level that you can wear every day.

Another outstanding contribution to horological history! For me, it all comes down to how the timepiece makes me feel, the personal vibe I want to create or the mood of the environment I find myself in. For instance, watching your videos is for the Luxury Connoisseur, therefore it requires me to at least rock my Patek 5205R Annual Calendar. Anything less would be well, a premium experience. 😀 btw your collection is obscene...in the best possible way.

As always a thought provoking philosophical episode and the bonus was us getting to see your whole collection. I have to say those older bremonts you have are really marvelous watches and you must feel so let down by what happened to the company, but if so, try to just enjoy your collection of the "OG's as the kids say. Your videos are always special and yes i"ve been a fan of Pete's for years

I always enjoy your videos, and became very interested in Bremont as a brand through your videos. I loved what they stood for and what they were trying to achieve. However, it is so disappointing to see a brand who had such ambition and whom were firmly placed in the 'connoisseur' catagory to undergo such a dramatic change in direction. I can't help but feel they've lost their identity, the same identity which made them so popular among Watch enthusiasts in the first place. I love the 'old era' Bremont watches, especially the Supernova (and seriously considering purchasing one), however, I wonder, would you still have purchased yours knowing where the brand is now?
