Bremont have a nice London boutique which is very central. Something a bit different - Mr Jones Watches in Covent Garden (also central London), coincidentally there is an article on them in Fratello today https://www.fratellowatches.com/a-special-tour-of-mr-jones-watches-and-interview-with-crispin-jones/

I think perhaps something with numbers on the dial would be a bit different - to my taste something from IWC Pilot range - would fit in with GADA, water resistance, robust, versatile and very good accuracy (except perhaps older Big Pilots) exclusivity of movements perhaps a little more challenging - which got me thinking maybe Nomos with their Neomatic movement - possibly as likely fully in-house / exclusive as you can get for the money. Club Sport and Ahoi ranges both tick the boxes on GADA qualities too.

Terrific - need some more photos of that bracelet though, looks like a perfect match in style and age.

... and two slightly off the radar brands still making fascinating watches. Love both of these, great examples of brands often referred to as jewellery that are making incredible watches too.

Spectacular!!!!!

Looks great - the Quattro design is just so good. That strap looks a very good match - assuming it's some sort of sailcloth or fine weave cotton / nylon? Is that the original it comes on or a later addition?
