That plane, the Wright Flyer 1, weighed 605 pounds and was constructed from a combination of wood, steel, cast aluminum and woven cotton cloth. \u003c\/span\u003eIt is from this historical machine -- and momentous occasion --that the Bremont Wright Flyer draws its inspiration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEndeavoring to pay homage to this pioneering moment in aviation history, Bremont incorporated something truly special into the 300 examples of this timepiece. Suspended within the propeller-inspired rotor is an actual piece of the cotton fabric used in the Wright Brother's famous aircraft-- \u003cspan\u003ewhen Bremont pays homage, they go straight to the source!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFeaturing a classically-designed black dial with printed Arabic indices and stylized hands with aged luminous material, the Wright Flyer is built into the massively over-engineered and totally unique Trip-Tick case design for which Bremont has come to be known. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFurthermore, Bremont used the development of this Calibre, the BWC\/01, as a test-bed for their future efforts - bringing properly scaled and vertically-integrated watchmaking back to the United Kingdom. In many ways, the Wright Flyer represented a shift in their business, and one that comes with sincere appreciation for the horological arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis particular example comes with its complete full set and incredible presentation box, as well as its original signed leather strap and deployant buckle. In other words, a collector's dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePlus, did we mention that this watch has a piece of the \u003cem\u003every first airplane\u003c\/em\u003e in it?

Truth be told, Bremont is the only company currently working to bring true watch making back to Britain's shores at scale- and that is something that we can really get behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndependently owned, Bremont produces incredibly high quality purpose-built timepieces in Great Britain with a distinctively aeronautical theme. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBremont's collection showcases the passion for engineering and aviation that the owners, the appropriately named Nick \u0026amp; Giles English, hold close to their hearts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bremont","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28020108165207,"sku":null,"price":13900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/HVVclNU4.jpeg?v=1556209177","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/bremont-wright-flyer-as03151","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
