Giles and his brother Nick co-founded the Bremont Watch Company in 2002, specialising in the creation of luxury mechanical watches. As one of the select British watch manufacturers,  Bremont was, in 2008, awarded the title of Best British Emerging Luxury Brand. By 2009, Bremont's reputation for crafting classic aviation-inspired watches propelled them to become the 20th largest chronometer manufacturer globally, reflecting the growing demand for our distinctive designs. Last year Giles and Nick sold a stake to the US hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. Nick and Giles delve into Giles' early business ventures, highlighting his passion for flying. They recount Giles' initial foray into the financial sector, followed by the bold move of reviving a struggling aircraft business alongside his brother, Nick. The brothers' early involvement in an internet business, which concluded with a successful exit, paved the way for them to establish Bremont. This venture was deeply rooted in their lifelong fascination with clocks, watches, and timepieces, a passion inherited from their father, whose tragic death in an aircraft accident served as a poignant inspiration.  Giles book choice was Gipsy Moth Circles the World by Francis Chichester. This content is issued by Zeus Capital Limited (“Zeus”) (Incorporated in England & Wales No. 4417845), which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for designated investment business, (Reg No. 224621) and is a member firm of the London Stock Exchange.

The guys are mega excited to welcome Giles English onto the podcast, the founder (with his brother Nick) of Bremont Watches! What a story he has to tell of daring and adventure involving classic cars, road trips, airplanes and, of course, watches. This episode deserves a second part as there just wasn't enough time to fit everything in! Giles is @gilesenglish Bremont @bremontwatches Ajmal is @flatcapdriver Marc is @marcandcars We hope you're listening from behind the wheel!

To celebrate Bremont's recent successful fundraising round we've refreshed this popular interview, originally released in July 2021. Investors in the round included the billionaire hedge fund manager, Bill Ackman, who took a stake in the firm after buying a number of their luxury watches on a visit to London.    When we talk of luxury watches we typically think of Switzerland with its quality engineering and dominant market position, apparently illustrating the economist David Riccardo's theory of comparative advantage. Yet in this conversation, we learn how Bremont is disrupting the luxury wristwatch market and successfully bringing large scale watchmaking back to UK shores.    Giles English begins by discussing the plane accident that killed his father and almost took his brother's life as well, yet how the tragedy proved the inspiration to build a luxury watch brand, which can compete with the best.   After describing the history of British watch making, with some fascinating anecdotes, Giles explains how he and his brother Nick have approached the two components; building a state of the art watch making capability & developing a luxury brand.   Giles describes the engineering challenges involved, the technical aspects of precision engineering, and why seeing the Bremont collections can be a lightbulb moment for collectors. He talks about the collaborations and collections with Jaguar, Concorde, Stephen Hawking and Bletchley Park to name a few, and their vision for the future.   Bremont kindly sponsor the Money Maze Podcast, alongside Schroders, LiveTrade and Mintus.

Nick and Giles English are the founders of Bremont watches and serious gear heads. They love all things mechanical, especially planes and motorcycles, but they've also had a number of adventures in vintage cars. They even had had a hand in Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's motorcycle circumnavigations "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down".  We talk about why they started Bremont, what it's like working with and learning from the Williams F1 team, crushing watches, working with Ian Callum, their new hangout, Bike Shed Moto Co, and nearly crashing a plane. Recorded May 20, 2022https://us.bremont.com/ Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app today!

This week's guest is Giles English, who co-founded Bremont Watches with his brother in 2002 with the aim of bringing watchmaking back to British shores. Bremont have recently opened a state of the art technology centre called ‘The Wing'- a 35,000 sq ft manufacturing centre enabling the full machining and fabrication of Bremont's watches, right here in the United Kingdom. Time was a precious resource in No.10 and one that dictated your life- the Prime Minister's time being the most precious of all. Now my main engagement with time is my 20-month-old daughter pointing at my watch shouting TikTok! Either that or she wants to get on social media already …It's a fascinating discussion about the revival of an ancient profession, the importance of regional investments for creating skilled jobs and one of the most charming stories of how a company was founded I've ever come across.

We chat with the co founder of Bremont, Giles English about the watch making industry and the story of the Bremont brand.

Watch making and the watch industry as a whole involves highly intricate engineering, bespoke design and experimental marketing. Trusted by the worlds military's to build watches that are capable of withstanding the extreme environments they operate in, as well as partnering with the likes of Jaguar, British Airways and England Rugby, it is safe to say Bremont is establishing itself as a quintessentially British brand with a focus on expertly designed and highly engineered time pieces that will be passed down for generations.

In this episode we hear from real-life Spitfire pilots and Bremont watch company founders Nick and Giles English, talk about the new Porsche Panamera GTS, why Forza Horizon's sheep are insanely smart and why everyone should stop writing car reviews because no one gives a fig.

Life for Nick & Giles English changed significantly one clear day in March 1995. Nick was practicing for an air display with their father Euan. But the 1942 WWII Harvard aircraft they were flying was involved in an accident. Giles, waiting to take off for the next sortie was told that his father had been killed. His brother had broken over 30 bones and probably wouldn't make it. Six months later, however, Nick was back in the air and being flown by Giles. But things would never be the same again. Life was too short to waste. The two brothers decided to pursue what they enjoyed most: a life crafting beautifully engineered mechanical devices. When they weren't flying old aircraft, Nick & Giles had spent most of their childhood making things in the workshop of their gifted father - an ex-RAF pilot with a PHD in Aeronautical Engineering. Models. Restored cars. They even helped him to build an aircraft they still fly to this day. Euan was also passionate about mechanical timepieces. He would often bring home an old clock from an auction for the brothers to try and get going again. The passion lives on in the classic curve of a Bremont timepiece. In the late 1990s, Nick & Giles were flying across France in their 1930's biplane. The weather was closing in. A rough-running engine forced them to make an emergency landing. Keen to avoid the French authorities, the brothers were more than happy to accept the gracious help of the farmer whose field they had landed in. They stayed in his home, the aircraft took cover in the barn. It transpired their host had flown aircraft during the war, as well as being a gifted engineer. Half-restored wall clocks lay everywhere, together with numerous engine parts. The farmer still even wore his own father's wristwatch. The brothers promised that his warm hospitality would never be forgotten. His name? Antoine Bremont. Learn more: https://www.bremont.com
