The mythical Bremont H-4 Hercules

The mythical Bremont H-4 Hercules

The Twelve Labours of Hercules were impressive, sure, but not quite as impressive as the aircraft that provided inspiration for the new Bremont H-4 Hercules. Killing lions and hydras requires strength and focus, but building a plane in 1947 that makes a modern-day Airbus A380 look small, requires the unbridled ambition and enthusiasm of a Texan billionaire – Howard Hughes. The H-4 Hercules (nicknamed the Spruce Goose thanks to its wooden construction) inspired the most recent limited edition from Bremont that pays respect to the history of the aircraft.

Limited to 75 pieces in Rose gold, we were fortunate to take a closer look at this very special watch, which holds something very special within its case. Inlaid in the watch’s automatic rotor are pieces of wood from the original H-4 Hercules, allowing rarefied owners to keep a piece of the historically important plane on their wrists.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY:
Bremont H-4 Hercules in Rose gold has an Australian RRP of $31,995, and is available from Bremont’s Melbourne boutique.

The only thing mythical about Bremont is that their watches are made in England, a proven lie they were forced to admit.

"Those watches give you access to this kinda secret club."

Why is the second hand running backward in 1:28??

[erikalfiandy]

Still don't understand how Bremont positioned themself in the watch industry. Their price is premium but not popular watch.

Very interesting review and well presented watch in design and layout, although I am not into aircraft history, it is a very appealing watch on the eye.

Why are the seconds going backwards at 1:28?

Beautiful piece and That rotor is phacking cool! You buy this kind of timepiece bcoz you love it not bcoz of the value after you walk away from the dealer.

Bremont, with its marketing strategy; might one day just become the Rolex of collectibles. I'm happy with my Seiko.

[TheCrabNebula]

Love the background music, couldn't find the name in the description.

[PreeyenMistry]

I like the watch, wish the date window was better positioned or executed and as with other comments the price is far too high

[maverickbonato]

Very nice piece indeed, good job Bremont!

[SpaghettiKillah]

Not really into Bremont but this one is just *STUNNING* 😳😳

[aivarb]

This reeks of the Blancpain Air Command Flyback. So many watchmakers are copying each other nowadays.

[jeeperspeepers]

And of course, almost no one in the military can afford an overpriced, over-hyped Bremont piece of shit watch.
