Nick and Giles English, brothers and co-founders of watch brand Bremont, have collaborated with newly revived Norton motorbikes to produce a commemorative watch reflecting the style and engineering values of the new 961 Commando. Both companies are British-based and both aim to produce beautiful, functional devices that anyone with an interest in engineering will appreciate.

The Bremont Norton is fitted with a special dial, inspired by the famous Smith's instruments often used on classic British bikes. Another watch brand with a great interest for motorbikes is JeanRichard. Both the watchmaker and MV Augusta, the legendary Varese, Italy-based motorbike company, share a passion for precision mechanical engineering and style. Both brands are completely involved in developing their heritage and know-how. The chronograph dial shown here uses carbon fibre which highlights the three, motorcycle-gauge-inspired, counters.
