Popped in to see the newly opened Bremont Boutique this evening; I missed Giles and Nick but did get to meet David and Irena who are running the store...
Nick has kindly loaned them his bike for a bit - so the first thing to greet visitors is a BSA: ![]() Nick's bike by Noodlefish, on Flickr Looks rather good. I also noted that Giles had left his EP120 in the window - I guess that's the price of success: none of the sold out EP120 or P-51 watches are available to display. The blue World Timer is there tho, along with the majority of the other non-LE models. ![]() WorldTimer by Noodlefish, on Flickr At the back of the shop is a bar and a seating error. The former is well-stocked, and it was especially pleasing to see one of my favourite (English) gins on the backbar - Sipsmiths. It looks as though Bremont have raided their Henley offices for furniture and fittings: the well-loved armchairs are there along with a rather comfy sofa. It'd be nice to be able to pop in and take a load off one's feet, and perhaps enjoy the books on the shelves (mostly aviation-related). ![]() Boutique by Noodlefish, on Flickr Bremont have a massive display of accessories too - straps, cufflinks, even those leather folders. A great place to take your watch(es) and try out new ideas for bracelets, leather and canvas... ![]() Hardhat by Noodlefish, on Flickr There are Bremont details everywhere: aircraft gauges, books, propellors, photos and the most amazing display of dials (but you may need to ask to see that, as it's unfortunately hidden from view!). The whole store is *very* Bremont. ![]() Jane's by Noodlefish, on Flickr More photos here - including some rather groovy kit from Elvis & Kresse - a UK company recycling fire hoses and coffee bags to turn into messenger bags and laptop cases.

Is the blue world timer the one that LTC Jon Bowser flew to Antarctica in the C17? They let him use a pre-production model for the trip before his was ready.
