A Brief History Of Time

British watchmaker Bremont followed a tumultuous year in absolute style with the release of a special timepiece collection that embraces one of the greatest minds in the world: the late Professor Stephen Hawking.

As part of its 10th iconic limited-edition model, Bremont aims to honour and preserve a piece of modern history through its finest mechanical timepieces. The Bremont Hawking Collection is the commemorative result of a partnership with the Hawking family. Four models complete the Bremont Hawking Limited Edition Collection, but more importantly, one will be released as a ladies’ watch with a unique movement and dial cut from real meteorite.

The watch design itself is classically styled and features a retrograde seconds hand at the 6 o’clock marker and grand date window at 12 o’clock. Flip the watch around and wearers are presented with four wooden discs inlaid into the caseback’s striking design. Those wooden discs have all been extracted from the very desk – one of Hawking’s most prized possessions – at which he contemplated the mysteries of the universe.

Meteorite is also implemented at the centre of the caseback across all four models to symbolise the cosmos, flanked by an etching of stars from the night sky in Oxford, on 8 January 1942, the date that Hawking was born.
