There aren’t many in the jewelry industry who can say they’ve met HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.
The Bremont watch brand is among the lucky few who have. Earlier this week, co-founder Nick English was at Bletchley Park to help the heritage site celebrate the completion of its restoration, allowing visitors to see what it was like for codebreakers working at Government Code and Cypher School during World War II.
There, he presented Middleton with the brand’s limited-edition “Codebreaker” watch.

Tourneau’s eight-week Watchmakers Program takes seven at-risk New York City students through the art of watchmaking, starting with the basics.
For two days a week, they learn things like hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and the history of watches and watch repair tools. As the weeks progress, they begin taking apart watches, examining every piece and its purpose.
The course also includes the assembly and disassembly of mechanical movements and an overview of quality control and the process for repairs.
Since the program began, five students have accepted full-time scholarships with Tourneau. The next session will begin this fall.
