Watches & Wonders: Bremont Goes Upmarket With the Supernova Tourbillon and a Vintage-Styled Chronograph With a Historic Movement

For Watches and Wonders 2026, Bremont is aiming for the stars: not only with the Supernova Chronograph, a new space-oriented lineup that will actually go to the moon, but also showcasing what the British brand can do with a pair of upmarket, collectible chronographs. One of them features an in-house tourbillon movement, while the other resurrects an vaunted historic movement in an elegant, limited-edition, and vintage-inspired design. 

The Supernova Chronograph, also making its debut in Geneva at Watches & Wonders, is the first of a new line for Bremont, a steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet and a generously-sized 41mm case. But Bremont is also using its architecture to debut the brand’s second tourbillon movement, following 2024’s Terra Nova Dual Time Tourbillon. This time around, the Supernova Tourbillon exhibits a skeleton design with all of its movement bridges and tourbillon cage displayed around a black ceramic bezel and a sapphire crystal, with red jewels as the Supernova’s only exhibition of color. 

Dramatically, the markers, bridges, Dauphine hands, and the tourbillon’s three markers glow with a bright blue Super-LumiNova, a nod to the space theme that the Supernova is aiming for. 

If the Supernova Tourbillon is aimed at the future, Bremont’s other release has a distinctly vintage feel—starting from its movement. Bremont is resurrecting the Valjoux 23 two-register chronograph movement into its new Altitude Chronograph Pulsometer: a restored vintage new-old-stock movement, wrapped in a titanium case and underneath a vertical brushed and grained dial in a warm copper color. Contrasting white registers and the new Bremont logo take up the rest of the dial, while a pulsometer scale in Base 30 rings the edges of the dial, above square white markers. 

The watch is limited to just 40 examples, with each one going for $33,967. It’s an odd juxtaposition of the old and new, of civilian and military design elements: the numbers are rendered in an Army-style stencil design, while the pulsometer gauge was more aimed for doctors than aviators. The latter get Bremont’s nod with a propellor-shaped triple-hand on the seconds scale, tipped in white alongside the hour and minute hands. But like the Supernova Tourbillon, it explores uncharted territory for this British brand that has staked its claim on land, air, and sea: a high-end watch themed around space exploration, and a nod to a distant past of aviation.
