When they were children and not flying old aircraft, Nick & Giles spent their time making and restoring things in their father's workshop.

On 4 March 1995 Euan English was killed and Nick was badly injured when their World War II-vintage Harvard aircraft crashed during a training flight for an air show.

The crash spurred the brothers to purchase North Weald Flying Services and after working there together they decided to create their own watch company.

[8] Bremont has created a number of special-edition watches for serving or former members of the armed forces, based on its commercial models.

This relationship culminated in the launch of a completely new HMAF range of watches following an agreement which sees Bremont given the license to use signs, symbols, and Heraldic Badges from all three branches of Britain’s Armed Forces.
