Great watches, for those who can't wait until Al gets them, there's great pics over at Pier's link!

As I've said before, I think the C range could see another option that looks like these watches.

Hi
The EE is close cousin or sister watch to the Leander, which ever way you look at it. So Bremont are in “partnership" sponsoring the Ecurie Ecosse team for 2012 but it does feel like a slightly incongruous product , an automotive tie in up for 2012?! I not not sure . Do I like it for the historical reasons accompanying the old race team or dislike it for the modernity of present day racing car championships.
The are surely lovely timepieces both of them anyway. As per normal its very difficult to make the final decision, pre-owned anyone?

What's incongruous? They were sponsoring Goodwood Festival of Speed as Official TIming Partner for a couple of years (until usurped by TAG), and had a *fantastic* D-Type on display during 2011, if I remember rightly. The partnership with Norton was well-received and the work with Jaguar is on-going. They have been sponsoring motorsport for a while (see Rupert Svensen-Cook, for example).

They also seem a perfect fit for the Revival (in my humble opinion).

PS Anyone seen the boat yet?

Hi
I understand the old car link up, I remember the jaguar D type in the Bremont stand at Goodwood. And sponsoring the Revival would be a perfect match. But sponsoring modern day GT racing and advertising with old vintage aircraft do not seem like a complimentary match in my humble opinion at least anyway. Norton are from a period in time that is different.
I hope the Ecurie Ecosse partnership brings in good business, but reviving old names is not always successful is it?
By the boat you must mean The Victory, thats good...

Nope. Meant the yacht that they've been sponsoring.

There are quite a few individuals in various sporting areas that are sponsored by Bremont. Seems to be more about the people than the sport / activity itself (a bit like their ambassadors, I guess).
