Bremont introduces the SOLO-32 Ladies Chronometer Collection MARCH 2016 The British manufacturer is delighted to announce the forthcoming release of its Bremont SOLO-32 Collection comprised of ladies mechanical chronometers. Whilst Bremont has prided itself for several years in producing beautifully engineered and manufactured British mechanical watches geared towards the adventurous male, it has become apparent that the British watch brand is not short of its female followers too. The Bremont SOLO-32 Collection sees the introduction of a new 32mm case and a number of new dial designs. The SOLO-32 AJ line has a more modern aesthetic with applied index markers and named in honour of one of the English brothers childhood heroes, Amy Johnson, who flew her DH-60 Gypsy Moth from England to Australia in 1930. Complementing this model is the SOLO-32 LC timepiece which is classic and timeless. Named after Lettice Curtis, arguably the most remarkable female pilot of the Second World War, flying a wide range of military combat aircraft with the Air Transport Auxiliary and being the first woman to qualify to fly a four-engine bomber. 1
Bremont Co-Founder, Nick English: A large mechanical watch, relatively speaking, has always been a striking addition to any ladies wrist, but at the same time, many women like variety and a smaller more manageable timepiece is a wonderful option to have. We are adamant that we stick to our core principles with the new SOLO-32 models. The collection will be beautifully engineered, robust mechanical chronometers with many of the watch parts being made at our Parts Manufacturing Facility in Silverstone, UK. The SOLO-32 LC Line is named after Lettice Curtis, arguably the most remarkable female pilot of the Second World War.

As with the core collection timepieces, the polished SOLO-32 steel cases will undergo a similar hardening treatment (2000 Vickers), providing high impact resistance but still retaining its polished surface finish. The signature coating gives the three-part Trip-Tick watch case extreme hardness, excellent toughness, good wear and high impact fatigue resistance, a technique used widely in the aerospace industry. The convex sapphire crystal is equally as hard and has nine layers of anti-reflective coating applied to both sides of the glass for increased legibility and the high standard of finish and attention to detail can be seen in the meticulous machining of the three-part Trip-Tick cases which take considerable time and skill to apply. The SOLO-32 range of watches will be available on a variety of leather straps and a stainless steel bracelet. 2
