Limited to just 50 pieces, the commemorative watch features a decidedly royal detail.
Bremont co-founders and brothers Giles and Nick English said they chose to modify their existing MBII model not only because it’s a style that lends itself well to customization, but also because the MB stands for Martin-Baker, a British aviation company that has partnered with Bremont since 2007 and represents the best of British engineering.
The hour and minute hands are fashioned in a watchmaking style known as “cathedral,” as their shapes evoke thoughts of the geometric details in the framing of stained-glass windows, which may be a shoutout to Westminster Abbey, the location of the May 6 coronation. But it’s undeniable that the seconds hand deftly honors the new king: it’s purple, the color associated with royalty for centuries .
Giles English noted that Bremont already enjoys an association with both the British military and the monarchy; for the latter, the company was commissioned by Jaguar to create bespoke car clocks for Queen Elizabeth II’s fleet of Jaguar automobiles. “As a business we’ve been hugely honored to be the sole luxury watch manufacturer for His Majesty’s Armed Forces since 2019 and have received various Royal commissions over the years,” English said in a statement.
