The great British brand, Bremont, started by those British boys, Nick and Giles English that everyone knows and loves, is turning 10 – and in these 10 years, they’ve managed to accomplish quite a bit. The very first collection of Bremont watches was introduced in 2007, five years after the brand was founded (in 2002)…
