New Bremont facility

Bremont in-house movements

Bremont has been slowly working its way toward opening a proper in-house movement manufacturing facility for some time now, and after much preparation, the plans have been approved for the brand to begin work on an expansive new facility (expected to be between 25,000 and 35,000 square feet, depending on a pending variance application). The company expects to break ground in the next few weeks, and pending any major delays, it is targeting a late 2018 or early 2019 completion. With the new facility up and running, fully in-house-manufactured movements will be but a short step away. As it stands, the brand is using Swiss-supplied COSC Certified movements that it then modifies prior to assembly. Given the significant move toward in-house production across the luxury watch industry, this is a smart move on its part, and with Stephen McDonnell (known for creating the movement in the MB&F LM Perpetual) in charge of movement design, the brand will certainly have a good leg up.
